As someone who sarted with Apple in the PowerPC days I couldn't agree more. To me it seems like the only real advantage is good battery, but I can't figure out who exactly is running powerfull/complicated software on the go where it matters.

If you just need to browse the web and whatnot, just get a cheap tablet?

For all the good softwares, it seems like you just get much better performance out of a much lowered priced PC. I just don't get who is benifiting for the 1-2 hours of supplementary runtime out of a MacBook and this is wortht the price delta as well as the hassle of dealing with all the specificity of that software implementation.

But then again, my experience with Apple users is that they are not the most logical peoples around, so maybe that's just it.

I still like some parts of macOS but it has been very hard to justify considering how Apple has been behaving lately.

If Apple manages to produce a decent iMac soon enough, it might just bite the bullet once again, but otherwise I'm out.
