content: Quote from: blueskull on May 02, 2020, 09:56:47 amPrecisely. I just bought an iMac with a bank loan. It's dedicated to FinalCutting videos and it's absolutely great with that, but a few days ago I was also tempted to give it back to Apple to buy an Asus ROG Zephyrus laptop.Why? Because I was in time to the right of withdrawal, and these days a bank loan is not a good idea if your Apple hardware will probably become obsolete faster than how you can run your business with it.But, the LTT's video convinced me to keep the iMac.

content: Linus? Really? Forgive me if I take everything he says with a grain of salt depending on who is sponsoring his video that week.HOWEVER, Windows 10 is pure garbage. I would sooner use Mac OS (which is almost as bad) before I ever run Windows 10 at home. That being said, I won't even bring myself to buy Apple hardware because it's just not that great. I mean it's OK... but it's overpriced for what it is. I can get better specs, better design, better longevity and better support from companies such as Lenovo.

content: My opinion about Linux and his LTT staff is great at the moment.Quote from: Halcyon on May 03, 2020, 11:38:02 amThat's the reason why I didn't buy the Zephyrus laptop.I seriously love it, it's years and years ahead of every Mabook/Pro I have ever tried. Unfortunately, it doesn't run MacOS, and I do not trust Hackintosh for professional business, hence ... no way, even if with some regret.I tried it for two days with both Windows10 and Linux.I tried several VideoEditing applications on Linux Arch and none resulted good enough. I mean acceptable if you are a hobbyist, but not for professional business, and in my case, I seriously have to daily consider that I will have to give the loan back to the bank.Then I tried Windows10 with Premiere and DaVinci: they are not for me, and Windows10 is not even close at meeting my expectations.Hence I confirmed the Mac.p.s.I found that if you order a customized machine, for instance, with maxed out spec, form the Apple Store website then you cannot give it back "without legal troubles" unless it's defective, but if you order a customized mac from Amazon you can do it easily.

content: My problem isn't with MacOS at all, which I loved when I had a Mac, rather it is with the company that can't seem to grasp what ethical behavior is. Well that and grossly over priced hardware that doesn't meet my needs. Mac OS is just as good as Linux in my opinion and certainly has more software available for it. In most cases though you have this problem with Apples hardware, it is either state of the art performance in the laptops or complete crap in every thing else. Either way you pay through the nose and over the last few years that Apple tax has really gotten out of hand.Contrast this with 2008 when I bought a MBP, the price was high but not to the excess that we see today. So lately it has been Linux powered machines for me. Given that I'm still exited about WWDC next week and possible ARM based Macs. Somebody needs to drag the industry into the world of ARM based PC's and it looks like Apple is going to be pulling here.

content: Quote from: wizard69 on June 20, 2020, 06:51:41 amThat is what drove me, a few years ago, to look for alternatives after being a happy Mac user for 30 years. The final, drawn out straw was having them using AppleCare to gaslight the customer. The depth of their irresponsibility was ridiculous, and to think, it would not have caused them any hardship to do the right thing.
