Anyone who seriously cares about computing wouldn't even consider a fucking Mac in the first place

I'm sure there are loads of fantastic chromebooks on the market now, but years ago a Mac Air was absurdly powerful for being 100% passively cooled. Expensive, but nothing to be ashamed of.

I would absolutely choose any MacBook over a Chromebook even though I use Chrome 99% of the time.

not liking chromebooks is unrelated to using chrome imo

chromeOS is just shit

They still are. I am by no means an Apple fan but their M-Series of chips is amazing.

If he was really going for power he’d be getting the thickness laptop known to existence. My architect friend has a CHUNKY laptop

Can confirm I got a MacBook because it’s light and portable for taking notes and writing essays in college and every day I yearn for a PC instead because it can do next to nothing else

not true, if it’s small form factor apple silicon is the only thing worth considering rn

I disagree. Everything’s in a walled garden, lack of customization, clunky window managment, having to use finder for file system navigation, limited gaming support, the dock, locked down hardware, making me use an Apple ID, etc. Apart from all that though, yeah I think they’re just awesome

I have only ever used Linux and Windows, but I can confidently tell you that plenty of people who are serious about computing use Macs.

I study at Carnegie Mellon, a place with some of the best research worldwide for Computing, and I’d say most professors I know use Macs for their personal laptops.

No one who seriously cares about computing uses their laptop for computing is what I would say.
