for anything that they consider even remotely 'technical' besides graphic editing?

People still making fun of them as if they have no real functionality to offer.
 
Really? I do all coding on mac and I think they're 100 times more robust than windows in general. Linux is great, but there's nothing wrong with mac
 
Because most of good and useful software is made for Windows only.

I know Mac is probably more quality then Windows even though I have never used it. But since some of most all popular and most used software is made only for Windows, this is why.

True.. I use parallels for everything that's windows-only. For an emulator it actually runs really well on mac and doesn't slow the main os down at all
 
Use mac in the past, but as you become attached to many tools, VPS and bots I have to move to PC, because on PC you can put the best hardwere all you want
 
Its good but most use cases I have seen are for design work. Otherwise, the average user is just a fanboy. Which is okay people are allowed to have opinions on what they want to use. However, realistically speaking most graphic-intensive work would be better off with a windows pc. Windows has cheaper hardware and many more options than a Mac and to add to that Apple doesn't even support Nvidia ... officially.

Exactly the best point.

But Mac is fancy, the logo is prestigious. Lol. I use an old Mac Laptop yet I run Windows on it with bootcamp application. So most often I use the Windows part of it because of VPS and most software I run are available in Windows.
 
I like Linux the most but no matter what I do, I have to come back to windows because many tools I count on and familiar with are windows only
 
It's just the pricetag that throws people off, I know a friend that use a mac laptopt, it's slick in its own way, but I'd never buy it. That's what my friend says too, they got their mac from their job
 
- If you use Excel well forget it on Mac it just sucks for big tables
- Different now, but 2 years ago needed new Laptop and Mac had none with 32GB ram
- They do have solid build quality, but you can get something close for still somewhat better pricing and specs on win machines
- Maximizing windows (no pun intended) on a Mac is a PITA
- For being super intuitive, why can't you right-click, create a new file, then choose text, excel whatever you want... On mac you have to go in the specific app and create the file...
 
Apple products, in general, are sh*t.
Don't @ me.

Ditto!
Never really gave Mac a go as for the same price you can get a robust windows solution built!
 
I used windows from 2000-2013 and once I went MAC I never went back haha.
Exact same dates lol
Well for me Mac is way better for internet browsing, when you read a lot and need to switch tabs with an ergonomic manner, MAC is the best. Well, was the best, now it seems some computer copied Mac pad and some of the key functionality.
It’s like iPhone, before, they were the only one with certain options, and now all smartphones have them, so the debate opened.
The cool thing about Mac is how easy it is to install a software compared to Windows. On Mac you just have to drag and drop in the application folder and it’s done. Better yet with deleting softwares/app.
But it’s just details, Windows have the great advantage of having all the softwares. And it’s easier to code (in my opinion) on a windows.
 
I have a macbook because they look great, and I use it for simple word, excel and powerpoint. For real work I have my $5000 windows-desktop computer. Because there is no way I could do renders in my macbook, or train neural networks, or just play games.

I think the reason is software, why do people prefer ipad over android tablets? Because their software its better, why do people used to prefer iphone over android? because software was more robust. Until 2016 macos didn't even had a good Office version. And honestly no one is really really interested on developing software for MacOS, most people use windows, and for everything else there is linux,
 
Because some people are creative, and need a canvas to paint on.

Others need a machine to do business on.

Linux is great but the Apple ecosystem is something I will never be apart of. Modern day scam

Active Directory runs the business world. Mac has no administration system that has been in play for decades like M/S.

But to each his own, this coming from someone who has a full size 42U server rack in their home office.
