Unix.

I just got tired of Windows. The never ending updates on my work computer. It’s like I need a patch every other day that requires restart and I don’t even know what it is, KB375935 KB474027, whatever.

Ecosystem (professional musician and communicating with my iPad is very helpful).

Battery life

Longevity

Because I like wasting money. Legitimately I bought mine for personal use. No work at all. And it was a total waste of money.

I barely use the thing and do just about everything on my iPad.

Dumbest reason ever … To FaceTime with my gf😂… But mostly bought into the M1 app. Have some regrets… Mostly the screen sharing limitations but other than that it’s been an enjoyable switch from windows

I’ve been a long-time Mac user. Apple silicon totally changed the game. MBPs were always beautiful, but took a back seat to PCs in terms of raw power. That’s not the case anymore.

Don’t think I’ve EVER encountered a spinning beach ball on my M1 Max.

Lifetime PC user with a dad that worked for IBM in the 80s. We were an anti Apple household 🙂

But I got sucked into the Apple ecosystem when I took a chance on the iPhone 11 after my Google Pixel phones broke back to back. After using the iPhone and seeing how it could integrate seamlessly with a MacBook and iPad, I switched from a top end Surfacebook to a MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max.

Took a minute to get used to (still learning new things a couple years later) but I love it and don’t see myself ever switching back to PC.

To piss off my college because they didnt specify which brand of laptop to buy for Electrical Engineering in the syllabus. I showed up with a MacBook and couldn’t run any of the engineering software’s they had available. Dean was like “Why a macbook?” I was like “Sale at the bookstore”

this was many years ago and I graduated easily.

Paid $200 bucks for it back it 2015 and it’s still pushing. It’s slowed down drastically but I no longer need it or use it.

Logic

i like how smooth they are, i don’t know how to explain it.

Severely underpowered for what I do and none of my software will run on Mac.

Vellum

My mid 2014 is a top of the line MacBook at that time. Still works great today.

One thing I really do not like is Apple blocked me from upgrading to latest os. Makes no sense since, this laptop can deff run latest os 2.8 quad core, 16gb ram, GeForce 2gb. Literally runs like new! But I’m stuck on Big Sur.

i bought one cause i’m a studying sound engineer and apple products work best on them. i’ve been PC my entire life until 2019
