I honestly don’t understand what people even like about Apple. They aren’t privacy focused at all. They still collect a lot of personalized data about you. And even if it’s not as much as google, still doesn’t make it good, just makes it less bad. And they store it securely somewhere on a “trust me bro” basis, promising to not tell anyone else.
Apart from that: Apple is trying everything to avoid you realizing that you’re using a computer. Personally, I find IT experts using apple computers to be contradictory of some sorts, because of apple’s attempt at hiding the actual computer from you.
I understand that having a 1kg metal frame in front of you feels great & premium, but that can’t seriously be one of the major selling points…
MacBook since Apple silicon have the best processors (performance, battery life, feature support) in any laptop. Software development is much more similar to Linux and local LLM just work with the best unified memory bandwidth of any other device (recent nvidia RTX Spark is shit compared to a MacBook M5 Max).
Apple is shit, with anticonsumer practices, but actually has the best hardware, ok software, wide support for long time and ok stability. It is not perfect, but better then windows laptops on hardware and software while being worse then Linux laptop in some use case and battery in other use case.
