To each their own. My personal experience is that Macs are a proxy for high quality Retina display(sharp text) and more vertical resolution than thos remedial optimised laptops.
I just happen to run MacOS which it comes with. Give me that display, and sensible aspect ratio, and I’ll run Linux at the endpoint. Until ten, Linux only on servers for me.
- tsar9x 7y agoI think Huawei Matebook has even better display than MacBooks, 3:2 ratio hidpi screen. Also something from Surface line, not sure about Linux compatibility though.
- reacharavindh 7y agoThanks for the info. I looked at Matebook x pro with 13 inch display, 256GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. Again, a personal opinion. It costs as much as the equivalent MacBook Pro. I would not choose it over a MacBook because why? Apple has been known to care for customers in the sense that even if they fuck up keyboard design, they run a service program for free. Battery mess up - replacement for cheap. Simply that they have a brand to protect. I can rest assured that I can make a warranty claim that will go through. I’m not sure if I can say that about Huawei. I might try them if they are cheaper or give me some incentive to try. But, if they are the same cost, why would I willingly take the uncertainty? Some incentives hat would make decide that way are : 1. Open drivers and documentation. 2. Promise of equivalent service or replacement if necessary. 3. Repair/upgrade friendly design - no soldering of memory and SSD. I'm okay if that makes the laptop a few millimeters thicker and a few grams heavier. Thanks for the info though.
