Many Apple product niceties can be explained by the simple fact that Apple gets to control the hardware and the software of their products.
Simply said, Apple can write their OS, Userland, and drivers to play very nicely with the hardware that they select.
Even then they have issues sometimes, see the ridiculous thermal throttling you can experience on later Intel MacBooks.
- princevegeta89 3y agoI am not an Apple fan at all, and after using a lot of previous generation Intel Macbook Pros at work, I found no significant gains in terms of usability over Windows laptops at all. In fact, I hated the way those Intel macs were always constantly heating up and making noise; the touchpad and keyboard were great but the heat and noise were deal-killers for me all the way. One maxed-out Macbook Pro even died from the constant overheating and CPU fan cycling. I would say Apple Silicon was the only game changer in the Macbook line, without which I wouldn't have bought one for myself at all. It provides such a pleasant experience in terms of eliminating heat/noise along with offering ridiculous battery life.
