Microsoft and other brands are getting better at making quality hardware faster than Apple is innovating in the space.
Apple still has the lead in their os just feeling so much nicer and solid to use but again it's still stagnant while windows is slowly evolving and when it comes down to it you can't even build a mac with the power you're working with on the Windows side so it stops really being an option if one means your work can be done multiple times faster (GPGPU workloads for example) than on the Mac side.
- thomaslord 6y agoIt definitely also helps that Apple has been churning out laptops with heaps of major issues. In recent years they've had issues with their keyboards, screens, and audio hardware. Plus they don't do any board-level repair or allow anyone else to, so if you're stuck with a dead mainboard outside of the warranty period the solution is basically "say goodbye to your data and buy a new laptop."
