How ironic. There is no “blatant lie” in “their hardwares aren’t comparable to MacBook” if you don’t know what aspects they are comparing, but there are in your comment.
- bigyabai 4mo agoThe hardware isn't identical to a Mac, but that's because of copyright. You can absolutely compare various chips and laptops to a Mac and end up with a fair comparison.
- spider-mario 4mo agoAre you aware that “it’s not comparable to” / “it doesn’t compare to” doesn’t literally mean that it’s strictly impossible to attempt a comparison? It means that the comparison is not favourable.
- bigyabai 4mo agoI'm very aware of that. I own multiple Macs, and even though I like the hardware I can't bring myself to daily drive any of them. Comparisons are very subjective, you've got to look at the big picture and not the solipsistic one if you're going to call other people blatant liars.
- spider-mario 4mo agoAh, right, we agree then. That’s the point I was making.
- ActorNightly 4mo agoLets not play the dumb games please. Its obvious that the poster mean that Apple hardware is better than the rest, which is simply not true.
- spider-mario 4mo agoIt absolutely can be true depending on what you value. Let’s indeed not play dumb.
- cavoirom 4mo agoI will clarify, at the same price, the MacBook is good at: display, instant performance and battery life, trackpad, webcam, sound and microphones, build quality. My workload: web development, video call, running VM. I basically could not find any laptop comaprable in those aspect AT THE SAME PRICE.
