Apple hardware had always been decent, but I don't understand the point of macos. If you can work entirely in the browser, than why waste the money on apple? Just grab a chrome book.

If your job requires software, macos is trash. Basic functions like window snapping are still missing. Gaming is non existent. Obscene memory requirements with nothing under 32gb usable for any real work.

I've been daily driving Linux for decades and occasionally use Windows, but any time I'm forced to use macos I'm just really confused why people would do that to themselves and then pay 3x the price for decent hardware.

Logic. Final cut. Those are the two best reasons for MacOS. Everything else is FINE and I'll generally agree, but windows is dogshit when it comes to editing media especially when there's any kind of I/O device attached.

I have steam on my Mac mini and its generally fine. Sure it doesn't play everything, but it can run plenty of games just fine. But I also own a steam deck and windows 10 PC so I'm a bad example.

I have a 16 GB Mac mini and logic is perfect. Pro tools was garbage on my windows PC.

Final cut is infinitely better than any windows video editing software.
