Mac enthusiasts just can't accept the fact that people prefer to buy Windows machines over Macs by a wide margin. I used to be one of them, but the closed hardware approach and the "we know best" attitude turned me off long ago.
That said, if I needed a super fast machine to do graphics or video, I'd look seriously at the new chips. I don't need such a machine.

- wyuenho 4y agoMost people prefer to buy Wintel not because of religious or philosophical reasons of "closed" vs "open". Most people buy Wintel for the simple fact that most of the world aren't rich western countries, when they need computing devices, they buy the cheaper ones, which are Wintel. For "computer enthusiasts", all they care about is games. If macOS could play the full Steam catalog, they would all flock to the Mac.
