Seriously, they suck. Do people outside the west even use them? I think the user interface sucks even. I wouldn't hate them as much if their users weren't basically cultists.

I used an iPhone for 10 years. I never liked it. I had a Mac for 5 years. I never liked it.

Mac OS are unironically so much better than windows. My Macbook with 8 GB RAM and a 4 year old processor runs better than my work laptop with 16gb ram and a 2 year old processor running Windows.

I have a Kali VM on both machines and the Macbook runs it smoother when I dedicate 2gb to the VM than the windows version with 6gb dedicated to the VM.

I just wish I could run Fedora or something on my work laptop.

This machines are optimised to fuck

Out of the box they come set up with the worst settings imaginable, click to select instead of touch and low sensitivity, but once you get past that and start using spotlight (command + space bar) there is no going back

Battery life and quality generally is also awesome, and mag safe is awesome, except for when they took it away for some reason

After using a 10+ year old Macbook someone dumped on my lap as e-waste, I'm a believer in Macbooks now as far as ergonomics is concerned. None of the non-Macbook laptops I've owned or serviced comes close to how it activates the "it just feels right" part of my brain. Not a single one. Only real con is it doesn't have an Ethernet port.

As for the OS, MacOS better than Windows but worse to Linux. I gave MacOS a chance before dual-booting Fedora, and yeah, the Macbook with Fedora is definitely better. Not exactly a fair comparison since MacOS Catalina is no longer supported, but Catalina is like the Windows 7 of MacOS in terms of how Apple fanboys look to it with nostalgia apparently.

The moral of the story is to make friends with Apple fanboys so they will offload their old but perfectly functional Macbooks on your lap lol
