In all fairness macs have a better laptop chip with their m series. Intel just caught up but only somewhat. And amds market in laptop might as well not exist.

The downside is macOS lol

    I’m a Mac / Linux user and I was forced to use Windows 10 for a couple of hours today. What an absolute ridiculous piece of shit OS that is. I had forgotten how bad it was. Those few hours reawakened my burning hate for Windows. Everything feels convoluted, you are constantly fighting against the OS instead of working with it. Optical drive having read issues? Better freeze the entire GUI. Want to kill a process? haha, fuck you. At one point the frikkin’ task manager froze on me.

    Yea windows is such dogshit it's honestly impressive

    The only reason why windows is still alive imo is because of stupid game companies using anticheat which is almost always some invasive crap that only works on windows

    tbf, I'm pretty sure that Microsoft is intentionally crippling Windows 10 for the past half year or so

    at least, that's been my experience with it on multiple sets of hardware

    also, if you think Windows 10 is bad... Windows 11 is so much worse. they even broke file explorer

    For all of its failings, macos is still a very unixy os. If you want to use linux but need to do creative work, macos is a mostly ok compromise. Linux based alternatives are fine for the tech savvy, but aren't a good fit for everyone.

    Fwiw, I've got a laptop with an AMD 7945HX and a 4080 mobile, and uh, it doesn't give a shit, it'll run anything on high/ultra. Their market share may not be large, but that's not for lack of putting out a good product.

    The other down side, 7 years of OS support before its EOL. Windows 10 gave at least 10, and then there is Linux.

    Apple has the worst product life support/quickest forced obsolescence in the industry.
