MacOS wins the peripheral war after providing the argument “dongles are technically peripherals”. They might also count things like their monitor stand as a peripheral because a mac user from one of their own commercials once said, and I quote, “what’s a computer?”
Sounds like this article was more based on contributions from “marketing departments” than “journalists” or “anyone you should take tech advice from”, though to be fair I haven’t read it yet and am only going by comments and observations of the current state of “tech journalism”.
Edit: Ok, reading the article confirmed the previous paragraph, as well as confirming that it was another one of those tech ads disguised as a review where everthing “reviewed” gets a “best at x” title and the pro/cons lists are arbitrary and not a comparison to the others at all. Eg, Windows gets points for the “nifty copilot features”, MacOS has a con for lack of built in AI features, and then it’s not mentioned at all for Ubuntu despite the article mentioning it doesn’t have much AI features built in (but I guess that cancelled out because models are often run on Linux). Not that I agree that AI features should be on the pro list, but they aren’t consistent with their own metrics. Oh and I’m pretty sure any of them can run models, and even if not, most models have a web interface, so if you desperately want some slop, you can get it on any OS with an HTML5 web browser.
