I have had macbooks for years. I got sick of the really poor performance, constant spinner, etc.
Now, I have a Dell XPS running Ubuntu. It is considerably faster. Far better battery life. Far high spec. Extremely slick display.
- macmac 10y agoAgree on the speed. I routinely run a bunch of VMs and docker images without any sort of impact.
- mibbiting 10y agoForgot to mention the other reason... The magsafe charger is ridiculously poor quality. I've had several of them fail. They all burn the casing off the wire just outside the plug, and then it stops working. The advantage of a magnetic connector isn't worth spending another ton of money to replace it every year.
- tstrimple 10y agoHow did you manage to get better battery life? Is power management in Linux that much better than Windows?
- mibbiting 10y agoFar better than a macbook I meant.
