i would love to understand that as well. I am mainly a pc user (both desktop and laptop), but at any given generation macbooks have just better display "experience".Even when compared to the other top of the line devices (MSFT surfaces or dell XPS 13).
My guess is simply that other PC companies just don't care much about the display quality beyond head grabbing specs. That and i suspect MACOS is just better at text rendering and color repreduction on the desktop
- xpe 3y agoYour brain telling your eyes that the extra money should be worth it? I wrote this in a joking manner, but I do wonder if a double blind study has been conducted. Not all UIs are created equally when it comes to visual appeal. That could explain a lot of it. Not to mention the factors you reference, aka antialiasing, smoothing, font rendering, and probably lots more.
- soulbadguy 3y agoThat's a fair point, it might be only a placebo effect. However, the machines i am comparing it with are mainly the dell xps 13 and MSFT surface which are generally in the same price range. Plus i have yet to have bough a macbook for myself, usually those are company issued devices. > Not all UIs are created equally when it comes to visual appeal. That's correct. But here i am not comparing the quality ofthe UI element. I am don't particularly like MACOS design language and prefer windows 11 and ubuntu gnome visual esthetics.
