Windows 11 is the OS for work and gaming.
Linux for devs and weird gamers.

i got a base m1 macbook air for cheap a while ago, and it's my most used device right now. very portable, surprisingly fast cpu for a 2020 pc. 8gb of ram kinda sucks but i offload anything that needs more to my linux desktop.
macos feels a lot more like linux than it feels like windows which is nice.
i don't think the price of new macs makes any sense though, so this could very well be the last mac i buy.

I'm considering replacing my current Thinkpad with one. The main thing I'm uncertain about is that the Apple M series CPUs don't seem to be particularly robust in terms of power compared to x64 CPUs; every chart I find is always focusing on battery life / power draw which is completely irrelevant because I plug my laptop in. But it seems like M series CPUs have relatively low core counts compared to x64 and don't have a clock speed that would make up for it.

Used to use a Macbook Pro as my daily driver, until it prevented me from installing uTorrent because it was le hecking malware (which, in retrospect, is actually true). That was the day I switched to gnu/linux

Yes. I use a mac as my daily driver at home and at work.

I like it.

They have taller glossy displays instead of 16:9 matte displays. It doesn't sound like a big deal but they have really good viewing angles and it makes you actually want to use them

The battery lasts 16 hours too but windows laptops have caught up.

Thank you someone finally agrees with me, I mostly use it for studying, browsing the web and occasionally Virtual box or video editing. as soon as Open Core stops being supported I could move to linux and use it as a hard drive formating computer. although depending on how far in the future this will be it might just not be reasonable it can go with my retro collection. I have no plans on getting rid of it soon.

It's the design. It's basically designed to give you the effect of looking at a pretty women, there is a strong reason why Apple has a cult following.

I fell for a Macbook, while I enjoy it, I agree with your reasoning. It's just a computer. Just because it has nice features, it's still a computer like any other so better to keep sticking to your money.

They have good hardware and good screens. They are better than most laptops out there, it just sucks you pay through the nose for a usable amount of ram and storage (16gb ram, 512gb storage). Also Windows is just so much more flexible as an OS.

I want try out Mac OS and alleged battery life but I don't want to be jewed like that. Maybe if m4 comes with 16 gb ram standard (not believing it till I see it, they'd probably jew out at 12)

Ditched the iPad and bought a macbook air m1. I don’t do much pc gaming anymore and my pc is just collecting dust in the closet.

Honestly, it is fine for shitposting and doomscrolling and some coding and stuff that’s annoying on the iPhone.

Sometimes I need to use programs that are x86 only and even with wine it doesnt work. That’s the issue that I currently have.

Which programs? Windows only rom patcher (patcher+ 64)

if you like the apple ecosystem then a macbook is an excellent tool for complex tasks
if you don't like the ecosystem then a macbook is an expensive linux machine that doesn't overheat or sound like a jet engine

me, loving the 13 inch base m2 (althought i wanted the 15 one instead cuz more speakers)
i barely use my core 2 quad desktop pc with gentoo now.

you can't get 20 hour battery life on windows
it just ain't happening
even intel evo is like 12 hours and only with the edge browser
using an m2 macbook feels like using your phone, use it ALL day then finally charge it and it'll only be at like 30%

Planning to get one once the m4 releases. My main use cases are development and light gaming every now and then. Shame that most games can't make use of the native performances since they are optimized for x86 but the translation layer does an ok job. I hope apple will develop that technology further considering intel is only just now trying to compete with apple with ARM chips meaning more investment in this tech might come soonish (I think intel already dropped support for translation layers in the past but you never know..). Valve is doing the same with Proton. In fact the whole business of translation layers is fascinating to me (see libhoudini and the likes). I still use linux on my home server but if I had to choose between windows and mac, after trying to develop with react native for a bunch of weeks, I'd totally pick mac. The cost is a non issue

I've gotten an M3 Pro in anticipation of needing to move to japan for a few months. I've been using it all day for a week now.

I'm really split. The hardware is lovely but it's stapled to MacOs which has been not great.

My favorite parts are the silence and battery life.

As I understand it asahi linux is bootable on my m3 pro as of now. but a lot of features aren't fully integrated yet and im not eager to be the beta tester.

I think I may drop it off at the apple store it as nears the return period. Mostly because of the limited software capability. I don't play a lot of games, but because anti cheat isn't supported I can't play a lot of stuff with my friends.

Yes an Air with 16Gb RAM. It’s been fantastic. Only minor bugs with multiple displays because of shitty OSX, and those can be fixed by switching the refresh rate to something else and then back. It’s honestly amazing how capable it is - drives a 5K monitor, its own screen, AND an iPad screen without breaking a sweat.

I fucking hate Apple though, so I’ll make this thing last forever and hopefully have it be the last machine I buy from them.

I'm a very casual computer user. I've tried all major operating systems and I just dont like the feel of macOS. It feels like it forces you to adapt to it, rather than being agnostic like most other os'es. Linux is almost too customizable. I'm too dumb to make it work for myself. Windows used to be great. But modern windows is shit. That's why I retain a windows 7 desktop for youtube and browsing. And do all my banking on my iphone.

I got an Air 2020 last year, its a fantastic computer. I wouldn't ever buy Apple pre Apple Silicon but this is basically a fantastic little laptop, very well built and it literally runs at room temperature with no fan, so you can expect it to last until 2030 and beyond easily. And the best part is MacOS is unix based so I can basically do everything I was doing on linux previously.

I have a Windows machine at home, but I use MacBook M1 Pro for office and portable work (trains, conferences, sometimes I just feel like working in a Cafe/Library to vary the daily routine).
The battery life and the trackpad are incredibly good, so I usually don't even bother bringing the mouse with me.
- Unreal Engine works just fine, only a few experimental high end graphical features like Nanite are not available yet. I use Neovim/Neovide as an IDE instead of a shitty XCode, smooth sailing so far (it takes a few hours to setup the LSP/Debugger, but there are a ton of tutorials about how to do it, so it's not a problem)
- Developing my graphics engine using Vulkan and GLFW also works fine
- Web development is obviously great
- Blender works fine except for when you want to have multiple instances of it open at the same time. Requires some hacking.
- Video editing with DaVinci is the same as on Windows. Same with apps for writing/note taking.
- For art I just bring iPad with Procreate, it has a seamless connection to a MacBook. I wish I could also use my CSP Windows license on it too, but I can't be bothered buying a separate one now.

They gave me a Mid 2015 Macbook pro from work. I mostly keep it connected to a monitor. Sometimes I use barrier in order to use Linux Mint on the monitor next to it.

there is no equivalent to macs

macs have:

doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>when pajeetOS runs out of RAM it swapfile rapes the SSD to death within 3 years
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>when the SSD dies it bricks your entire currybook because the EFI is stored on the soldered SSD to save $0.05 on a dedicated chip
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>riveted keyboard that requires total destruction of the chassis to replace
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>serial numbered battery that prevents boot if you replace it yourself
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs

unheard of on PCs, and yet you curryniggers defend it with "jus werx fer me!"
just because you're in the 36.5% survivor group doesn't make your currynigger trash any good
this list goes on forever

Look at it from another angle, the offering from the competition is so dogshit people would rather put up with double clicking rather than change.

>>102484936
look at it from another angle, you guzzle so much street shit straight from tim cucks anus you can't even reach walmart trash laptop levels of quality

Ok, name your better alternative, I'm waiting (and ready to laugh).

I have an 2020 M1 MBA as my portable that I use around the house when not at the desk (i.e. bed, dining, living) and it's pretty nice. I do most of my other stuff on it, hardly anything local even, most of my shit is either web based or self hosted now, but I do play the occasional game on it. Though I am looking at upgrading when the M4 comes out.

Not sure what I'll get yet, part of me wants a bigger screen so maybe a 15" air, or to step up to a pro 14, the 16 seems a little excessive.

>>102464123
I do, I have a Macbook Pro (M1) that I got from work a few years ago.
I regret not getting a windows laptop in hindsight.

>>102485285
literally anything is better than your currynigger shitbooks

>>102485421
Corporate windows is another tier of bloathell that most people don't have an idea exists. Everything is better than a windows laptop in a big company

I am 41 yo and 4-5 years ago I migrated fully to macos. I got a m3 pro and it's my only computer since I
>don't play games except on my 3ds
>don't have the time/care about customizing stuff anymore
>don't need more than 1 external display
>only code and maybe use adobe stuff at times
Literally no reason to use windows anymore. I don't have any other apple devices though. My phone is a 250€ redmi

>Everything is better than a windows laptop in a big company
Why?

>>102484367
Even back before the magic mouse Mac OS still had context menus with Control+click. Apple simply found another way of implementing that while not confusing boomers

>>102485649
Not an answer, what are you using?

>>102464123
using an m1 since it came out, still runs faster than 99% of current windows pajeet laptops.
I also don't have ads on my desktop, I never ever had a single fucking problem, never had to google "why are my fans not working" or "why is my screen blue" or "why is this software not working" or "latest driver updates".

My M1 doesn't make any noise, doesn't heat up like a fucking gas stove, isn't made of cheap plastic and it's cheaper too.

At this point if you're going for a windows laptop you're just being retarded

>Are there ANY anons here who use a Mac as their daily driver, at work and/or at home?
My wife uses one as her main driver outside of work. I begged her not to get one for several months, even in the shops as she stood in line to order it. She didnt listen and consequently, even though I fix computers and networks, build networks and develop networks for businesses I fucking HATE apple computers. The technical language they use does not conform to standards in their help pages, nor in their settings options. They suck wqhen it comes to logging problems, and consequently any problem involves this for me: Got a problem ok, lets try to resolve it. Oh fuck what the fuck does this mean? (one hour later... oh they mean what microsoft and linux refer to here.... Why didnt they just say that? I could have fixed this 45 minutes ago. For me, apple are the shittest devices ever. Even in the queue I was saying to my wife, please dont do this please, nobody who keeps networks or computers running for a living ever uses apple products

Maybe you are just stuck in your ways anon.
I've ran Macs, Windows and Linux PCs alongside each other since i was a teen and i move between them all seamlessly. Though i've had barely any funky issues with my macbooks because i don't do that much dumb shit with them.

>>102487949
Apple make as much money out of support as they do in selling their products

>>102464123
Ever wondered why macs cost so much? You arent only buying the hardware and software, you are buying the support. When you buy a mac, you can guarantee you will need their support at some time or another

>>102464123
i do. i mostly play videogames with handheld devices including a steam deck and do everything else on a mac m1 pro.
it has good battery, decent os, performance. the only thing that it can't do well is running ai stuff fast but thats more of a hobby for me and i dont know if there are any portable devices that can do it well.

buy a toilet currynigger

Good to see I was right about a lot of things I thought about Apple devices even if I've never owned one.
Most of my desire to try an iPhone or Mac come from never having interacted with or seen them in any meaningful capacity, I've used Windows all my life and switched to Linux relatively recently so despite knowing that it won't be perfect and will absolutely not fit my needs, curiosity still gets the better of me.
Hardware seems nice, I bought the laptop I use today and after a year and a half the display frame broke, the ESC key keeps randomly spamming itself until I press it again, and the touchpad is okay at best and I'm pretty sure it causes stutters. It's like a little fantasy that if I buy a Mac all my worries about build quality will go away.
Software-wise it used to pique my interest as well but ever since I realized /g/ is full of retards and I bought a computer that's not from before 2010, I can just install Fedora with Gnome on it and everything will be nice and polished and I can forget about it. Some things are lacking like system tray icons but it really wouldn't be much different on a Mac where you can't even Cut and Paste (CTRL - X, CTRL - V) and that's probably why so many Linux bait threads here involve saying that Linux doesn't have perfect drag and drop, because it's somehow an essential featuee for Apple users.

Google sucks really fucking hard though, I may yet buy an iPhone.
