Why did you buy a MacBook? (alien.top)

I’m just curious if it’s because there was a particular app or a workflow that motivated you to get a MacBook? Or just the Apple ecosystem?

Genuinely just curious.

Apple silicon. It’s still the best chip on the market. Laptop is silent and lasts a lot on the battery. If Macs still had Intel I wouldn’t even consider a MacBook

soon about to change with snapdragon...

Is that the one that isn’t in production yet and was in articles about how it was “faster than Apple Silicon” but they were comparing it to a base M1 from 2020?

Maybe, but how many windows arm apps will there be?

It will take a while. Apple managed really well to make the transition. I doubt it will be the same with snapdragon though. Would be amazing though to have some competition finally for the Apple silicon.
