That they are ... I just find the premium they put on their stuff to be a turn off.
The thing that I hate about Apple, and this has nothing to do with the company, is the rabid, idiotic, zealot part of their fan base that would more than likely kill themselves if some fucking iDevice instructed them to do so.
I've seen morons that are proudly part of that cult report shit about some "new" iProduct features that will slay the competition despite said features being available on other products ... In some cases up to two or three years.
I remember one giddy cunt reported that Apple killed the entire need for a DVDROM drive (on any computer mind you ... Not just apple) by distributing software on USB sticks. Only reason I call her a cunt (one that should be in a kitchen and ironing shirts) is that she accused everyone of mysogony that was criticizing her in her comment section by pointing out how wrong she was about everything in her article. She dismissed it as "mansplaining".
I'm an engineer ... While I don't know everything about modern computer engineering, I know enough to make a very comfortable living off my skills. I can tell when a typical Apple cult zealot is writing anything about that company. Articles are loaded with errors and make no sense. They'll also throw in the obligatory "what smart people do you see that do not use Apple products?" and state that the demise of Windows and Linux draws closer due to some iFuckingnonsense rumored to be released.
That's not all Apple fans of course ... That's typically the liberal wing of their fan base :-) . Their products are certainly slick, but they seem to attract a lot of crazies missing something in their lives :-) .
Work in IT at a 99% Apple company, and there are a good deal of pros and cons. Video/graphics stuff with their hardware is great if you do your research and know how to maintain things properly .... most dont tho and refuse or can’t overcome the learning curve (unlearning curve?).
The new m1 stuff is smokin as wel btw and affordable .... but bang for buck a non-mac pc is unbeatable
What exactly are you doing and with what softwAre?
Our team who does 4K and 1080p videos for example has a different requirement than people just using indesign and photoshop and making catalogues, then our team who does audio/studio work use a diff setup as well... you won’t necessarily have to go the $6000 Mac Pro route, but the upside to those is they are beastly and should not need replaced anytime soon. We have a couple that are 6+ years old and move fast enough still that the team doesn’t want to upgrade yet just for fear of downtime and setting/resetting preferences and options vs the little lag they receive
Anyhow let me know more specific what you are doing/how/why and I’ll give u my best two cents on it
So you are saying a $1780 Lenovo is better than the $250 laptop I bought recently? :)
One of these days I'll get an expensive laptop; one that costs more than $500 :) (I've always been about 5 years behind in technology, so a computer that is as good as 5 years ago is good enough for me, and is usually QUITE a bit cheaper :) )
