Fanboys battle (Apple vs Microsoft)

kvvni · Sep 4, 2020

Hi,

Yea, I got you by this clickbait title, right?

so, to be clear: i need a laptop.

I will only work on it. Adobe programs, a lot of chrome cards, SEO tools like ahrefs, a lot of writing and so on... no games.

I was thinking about Macbook Pro and Surface Laptop. Anybody have something from those 2?

I have PC with windows, but phone from Apple. And I definitely can't decide

BTW: budget to $2000.
BTW2: i didn't mentioned version/parameters, you can also advise something on this matter

Any, any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Cheeeers

Should've been posted in Want to Buy.

By the way, get a Windows-based system, you'll get more bang for your buck in terms of hardware.

Let me start the battle by saying that mac means Shit hardware at 3 times the price. Yeah, mac os is pretty good. I would just build a hackintosh instead of buying overpriced hardware that gets obsolete in 2 years.

My point, exactly:

Apple is truly an over-priced brand capitalizing on their branding.

Not to say they don't carry great products, they do, but PC-wise, Windows all day every day (for many reasons).

Sounds like you truly need a ConceptD 5 creator laptop - you gonna love it, its adaptable, strong and can pretty much handle anything you throw at it

Adding to my previous post, do read this article before you purchase a macbook right now:

What beautiful stats:

Put an Apple logo on it and it'd be selling for $8,999.

why even entertain the idea of buying a Macbook? its an overpriced laptop... just feels better, more slicker i grant you, but thats about it. I totally agree with your assessment. This dude needs an ACER ConceptD 5

Man I did not expect this amount of support. Wait for the osx fans to come to this thread. They will flame us to ashes.

Hackintosh - I'm calling Merriam Webster and get that in the official dictionary.

Haha, it's actually a very common word in the web designing world. Lots of people do it.

Surface Laptop? Why? There are tons of good PC laptops on the market.

MSF · Sep 4, 2020

I am waiting for the Apple fanboys coming in with cutting edge features like having a thin laptop and fewer usb ports and stuff like that. Sorry guys, aside from the Mac OS, i dont see anything else. I just dont get you people sometimes.

McJenkins · Sep 4, 2020

For work - NO APPLE.

Don't go for this both. Go for alienware https://www.dell.com/en-us/gaming/alienware-laptops Alienware achieved the highest average laptop rating of any brand this year.

Apple is garbage, I've purchased an iPhone for the 4th time and I don't even know why, my battery is at 50% from listening Spotify on max volume with bluetooth and it's only 11:30 AM. Garbage phones.. but somehow I keep buying them

Its because their excellent branding and marketing. Explains why their shit is less but sells for much more. 2+ Trillion market cap. We should all learn branding from them.

I still get occasional giggles when I remember about apple wheels and the 1k monitor stand.

P.s. For those who don't know:
$999 monitor stand

Code:

$699 wheel kit

Code:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MX572ZM/A/apple-mac-pro-wheels-kit

Justify that.. please.

MacBook Pro. You can easily sync it with your phone and of course, you know how the quality of Apple devices is
