- adrian_b 7mo agoThere are people for whom the first condition that must be satisfied by a computer is to do whatever their owner wants and only that, and to never do anything that other people than the owner want. Such people would always take any laptop Acer makes (or from many other brands), over anything made by Apple. I have grown up in a country occupied by communists, and one of the most frustrating things was that the right of owning various kinds of things was denied to the majority of the population (including computers). After eventually no longer being subjected to such oppressive laws, in recent years I find astonishing how easily people in countries like USA are willing nowadays to accept severe limitations to their rights of ownership over the things they buy, while in other places people have died in the hope to obtain such rights.

- chocochunks 7mo agoThere's a few really great OSs that have even less ads, telemetry and AI slop than even macOS (and yes, it has all those things just less than Windows 11). Those OSs will run on the Acer today. They might maybe someday run on the MacBook Neo, but not right now.
- NetMageSCW 7mo agoThe purpose of an OS is to run applications. Windows and MacOS have the applications people want or need to run.
- throw-the-towel 7mo agoOther OSes can run the browser, which runs many of the applications you want.
- nolist_policy 7mo agoSo? Acer also makes Chromebooks.
