[Ugee]

Ok

 

[ZeroDefects]

I don't want to hijack the thread...
I'm obviously in the market for
hardware/laptop
I also like to find lifetime SaaS deals, nothing in particular at the moment. In the past I got lifetime deals for Windscribe VPN, gainrank serp tracker, contentstudio auto social media poster.

A few months back, I bought my wife a Lenovo laptop just for browsing and light stuff. it's a full on piece of shit and wouldn't buy another one unless it was $1.00

I am one of those guys who have both mac /iphone and pc / windows devices.
honestly, I do believe that mac and iPhone are way overrated.

>>> I do believe that mac and iPhone are way overrated.

I agree.
I feel, they are overrated by people who lack any significant level of technical ability.

Case in point: I told a friend (apple zombie) I was moving away from the iPhone because of how limiting and intrusive Apple had become for me. He said: Are you kidding? That is what's so awesome about it. I can use it and not f*ck it up!

The first ipad was pretty much useless due to the lack of support for Flash, because Apple deemed it a security issue.

Wait, passionfruits are awesome!

I remember that. Funny enough, they didn't learn, they still limit usage (why I'm leaving iPhone).

The new ones are AS useless because they focus on letting you surf google, twitter, pinterest, instagram and facebook. Apple found their market, the reality is... A shit-ton of internet surfers/users (social media only type-users). The next gen kids, teens, 20s, 30s are not going to live on a platform that limits their usage and capabilities.

More importantly, their is a SIGNIFICANT sect of next-gen "seniors" that are currently 40s, 50s, 60s that have harnessed tech in the latter part of their career (last 10-20 years).

If it wasn't for phones being subsidized by the carrier, and student loans Apple probably wouldn't exist today.

to be honest, as usual there is pro and con come compare Windows vs Mac

Base on my observation for my own usage and others , I noticed a lot of us first touch , use Computer 99 percent is Windows.

I still remember the hip of windows 95 , than next , next next OS ....IF I remember till the windows ME or 2000 is kinda suck

than the blue screen, etc software problems stuffs like that.

One thing Windows base computer is the " software " will tend to get easily corrupted etc . Perhaps this is why Mac control it come software part to prevent unncessary bugs etc but on the same thing also make " Some users don't know "

nevertheless I from window guy to Mac user and for my case, I do like Mac in the sense I don't like to meddle much around on software stuffs etc
I do like meddling around etc way back my Windows days.


Now I rather be more productive come using computer than troubleshooting on unncessary bugs , corruption file here and there on windows. " Of course also depend individual users usage, some like to download lots of program and worst unknow one etc thus easily corrupted the Windows OS etc "


the Piss off come using Mac now is , I noticed over the years after Tim Cook take over. He kinda wanna like windows dam.......always come out updates and updates lagging the mac and iPhone

like recently IOS14 it seem drain more battery easily etc

Unlike Steve Job, less update yet the mac and iphone works good

It is! Mac lasts 5-7 years, windows last 5-7 months.
Japanese cars have great specs, but 99% of people think German cars have great specs for the money.
You can still drive Lada...!

The only reason to buy a mac is to want to use the appel operating system
