- afavour 2y agoYou seem very determined for MacBooks to be bad. You're allowed to hold that opinion. Different people have different requirements from their hardware and I can believe that a MacBook isn't a good fit for everyone. But IMO when assessed as a general purpose machine the MacBook is objectively the best device available. (you can certainly debate value for money, though)
- guappa 2y ago> But IMO when assessed as a general purpose machine the MacBook is objectively the best device available. I don't doubt that it is subjectively for you personally the best device available. As I said, I haven't tried the new ones. But clearly I can't trust people like you who claim objectivity where there is none.
- tmottabr 2y agodo not mix specific needs with general needs.. Macbook is objectively one of the best general purpose devices out there.. and there is a lot of data and reviews out there to confirm.. But if you have specific needs, and that seems to be your case, then you need to test if your workflow will work fine on MacOS\Macbook, but then that will also be true for any OS or device.. Mac can be great for many specific use cases, video editing, photo editing are some examples.. For development it can go both ways, it could be great or terrible depending on many factors..
