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.

Because they're quality built laptops that last years and work really all.

I just built a PC for gaming. My first in 15 years. I’ve had a Mac for a long time.

The quality just can’t compare. Mac is so much smoother. I spent more on this PC build than I did on my new MacBook last year and Windows is just… flimsy feeling. It’s hard to describe. But it’s how I feel about iPhone vs. android too. I just prefer Apple’s design.

Yes. For Apple it's the whole package. They make both the hardware & software. So they compliment each other perfectly. Meanwhile Windows has to run on a wide range of possible combinations. I have a Windows 10 desktop which I rebuilt from a prebuilt. It was so garbage until I got a new case. There was no airflow & everything got way too hot. Manufacturers cut too many corners. They need to focus on their builds and their functionality. Apple blow everything away except for things like gaming & specific programs.
