I’m convinced people who post these haven’t actually used apple devices seriously without going into it with their superiority complex. the fluidity and peace of mind not having to find fucking drivers for some shit from 2004 that have long been consumed by time it just plugs in and works. Or the fact that for instance a MacBook comes with everything you need to say decompress a file without downloading winrar or 7zip it’s built in. The apple version of ms office comes with the device. Not to mention the software being specifically written for the hardware means i haven’t had a day ruining crash in so long i can’t remember. Not having God damn ads on my desktop you gotta be kidding me. Text messages on all my devices. My mouse and keyboard on my mac can automatically control my iPad. Sure you can kinda do these things on the bootleg os’s kinda sorta but when it comes out of the box like that and i don’t have to fuck with 20 3rd party apps and ads on everything is 10000% worth it to me.
I've been using a MacBook for my work for years now (not voluntarily). I've always had a Windows desktop as my main machine. Your experience is completely different from mine. I've found that it's easy to use the MacBook, so long as I want to do things the way Apple dictates. With Windows, I can discover and tweak my own processes to work the way I want to. With Apple I feel entirely boxed in.
All that being said, I think the whole discussion can get ridiculous. It shouldn't bother anyone one way or the other which product someone prefers, and most of the time, it sounds like a Pepsi vs Coke argument to me.
I always hear this argument “windows is more customizable” what do I really need to customize about my os to edit videos more efficiently how does customize ability lead to a smoother workflow. I use my mac for actual work and it pulls so far ahead of any windows computer I’ve owned in my life in terms of fluidity and stability hands down.
