That first paragraph isn't accurate.

Really makes you wonder how many people are just buying because of marketing and psychology tricks.

Butterfly keyboards. Lack of ports. That's just from memory.

I'm sure Apple denies any faulty hardware as they did with their keyboards.

So you have more pain points with Windows 10 than Apple corporation?

My biggest pain are how Apple treats everyone, for the last 30 years. It's unbelievably frustrating.

Can't really take this seriously when your first line is false.

I'm not following why these are related. I use Linux for dev, I use windows for office and Photoshop.

None of those require macOS.

This sounds a tad irrational, but I also hate windows once every 4 years.

That makes up for Apple being Apple?

Hmm. I have considered that as well in the past.

Although I'd be a bit skeptical that Apple would allow this (as others talk about).

It seems extremely high risk, high cost, for an unnoticeable reward that will be obsolete in a year.

What makes MacOS good?

Yeah heat and battery life are non issues.

The iPhone is a good example because supposedly it's the fastest, but it doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's the animations, maybe it's the annoying Apple popups to sign in and update. Whatever the case, it doesn't make for a great device. (My experience is from 2018)

My limited understanding of the brain is that programmers are able to put the pieces together by combining their memories and short term memory.

But that's drastically different than Engineering where calculations are done methodically.

Something I'm just not understanding here. Why the obsession of single thread time in 2020?

Give it 2 years and a competitor will beat it, Apple will be behind yet again and the price will be higher than ever.

And again, this is only for single thread. My computer is already blazing fast and intense programs will use multi threads.

I think one of the biggest issues is that tech people are "know it alls".

They make lots of money, they must be smart right? So when a friend disagrees the person doesn't consider it.

And unlike their Engineering counterparts they won't search for proof. If you need to see real world examples, look at who buys brand name. It's telling.

Apple has a significantly better marketing team too. Microsoft has struggled with their poor image, Apple embraced their poor image as "Different".

Apple also played the luxury brand card, which appeals strongly to low information consumers.

None of what Apple does could work for Microsoft.
