These are the reasons why I wouldn’t even buy a Mac

buy, Mac, reasons, wouldnt

Everyone is free to buy the device they want, but they have not fully understood the growing trend. It seems that Apple computers now come with unique properties, far superior to those of a Windows-based desktop or laptop.

I have used Apple systems and know many people who use them for different reasons. The truth is that I couldn’t upgrade to a computer from the bitten apple company. I’m not talking about budget issues, I’m talking about features and functions that, for me, are basic and unachievable with Apple systems, and I’m going to tell you about them.

Reasons why you wouldn’t compare an Apple PC

I am not going to address the most obvious reason, namely the price, because I consider this issue to be outdated. There will be those who say they are worth every penny and, in my opinion, they are extremely overrated. It’s a battle of perception and the company no longer just sells PCs, smartphones or tablets, it sells status.

For me, the first factor is ecosystem more and more closed and limited. Macs only have company-specific processors; they no longer offer solutions with Intel or AMD. For optimizing the operating system, this is great, but it limits the user’s possibilities. If the software is not optimized, performance will be poor, and even if it is, it will still be lower than Intel or AMD systems, which may have more cores.

The next factor for me is a combination of two factors: inability to extend and planned obsolescence. Apple welds the RAM and SSD in its systems precisely to limit system updates. This forces the user to purchase the latest model when faced with an update, even if the old one works perfectly. This leads to system obsolescence which, with an increase in RAM or a change of SSD, could last for many more years.

THE update policy of the company also leaves a lot to be desired. Starting from 2-3 years, the company significantly reduces the number of updates, seeking to “put pressure” on the user when updating. Some even point out that updates slow down the system and deteriorate the experience. It’s possible, but since I don’t have proof either, I prefer to take it with a grain of salt.

Something I like to do (and many of my coworkers do) is play a game after the work day. The problem is that with the company’s systems at the bitten apple level, this is currently not possible. Their systems are unable to move games smoothly due to the hardware they use.

The last factor, which has a lot to do with the second, is the difficulty of updating. If something happens to my laptop, I can open it and solve the problem personally, without depending on third parties. I can replace the RAM or SSD if something goes wrong. I can also take it to a computer store to have it checked, if there is a problem. Apple doesn’t allow this, and even if the system detects an unsupported component, it may crash.
