Apple hardware is top notch. Why can't the HN crowd be blown away by Apple products? Nothing comes close to Apple Silicon for laptops.

Nothing comes close to Apple Silicon for laptops.
- gumballindie 3y agoMy average gaming laptop comes with a cpu ranked identically with an m1 pro (my cpu is older than the m1), has 64 gb of ram and a dedicated gpu with 6 gb vram. Runs any os except macos, i can easily upgrade my ram, wifi and hdd, has a 140 hz refresh rate and loads of connectivity options, replaceable battery and a working keyboard with a numpad. Bought it for fun as it was dirt cheap by comparison. I am not convinced apple is top notch.
- senttoschool 3y ago>i’d say knowledge about hardware is scarce. It's ironic you said that and then claim that your old CPU is "ranked identically" with an M1 Pro.
- gumballindie 3y agoI mean benchmarks place it right next to an m1, but what you are saying is that marketing trumps real numbers? Also by old i mean 3 years or so. Do you really believe that apple silicon is the absolute best thing out there?
- senttoschool 3y agoIt absolutely is the best thing out there in terms of perf/watt in the laptop and desktop spce. Nothing else comes close.
- bjoli 3y agoI have been unlucky with my apple devices, and the fixes made by apple have all been sub-par. From poor soldering and lack of underfill to complete lackluster solutions and expensive fixes that should have been $20, but cost ten times more. I though I just had had bad luck, but then I discovered that rossmanm guy's channel and was amazed they were actually doing a worse job on some laptops. M2 is amazing wrt performance per watt, but I have sworn to never again buy apple.
