Mac is genuinely a better experience. I say that as a user, as a dev, as someone who likes to throw their laptop in a backpack and not have to worry about the charger. I like the Linux-lite os, I like the screens, I like the universally premium feel to their chassis.
But damn, have Macs gotten ridiculously overpriced. Paying 150% for something you can count on to be more polished? Fine. It’s premium
But paying triple? I’d rather learn to tunnel into a desktop through vscode and get something thin, nice looking, and inexpensive enough to replace (even if the thermal properties are horrendous)
the windows vs mac shit is also toxic nonsense and you know it.
