What can you do on a Mac that a cheap ass laptop can’t do?

The Mac can run MacOS. That was the point of this thread, that MacOS is less junked up than Windows.

Less junked up?

What about all the forced apple junk? Itunes, App Store, Books, Chess, DVD Player, Facetime, GarageBand, Home, Imovie, Keynote, Podcasts, Photo Booth, Pages, Quicktime Player, Safari (which doesn’t allow you to install a decent browser), …

The original post in this thread said:

Using a MacOS, even with all its flaws it’s such a clean experience compared to [Windows].

I agree with that. If you don’t, that’s okay.

It’s not about not being able to do it, it’s about being able to do it well, and have a nice experience.

My $200 Thinkpad T14 will browse the web, but I get about 4 hours battery life at best doing that. My M1 MBP gets 15 doing the exact same thing.

The Adobe suite. Even big Figma files would give a cheap ass laptop trouble. Obviously if you’re planning on coding iOS Apps then you need Xcode unless you want disgusting performance.

Also the build quality on a cheap laptop is a joke these days. They try to make their laptops Apple-like but use the cheapest components even in the $1000 price range.

For the average power user who doesn’t game or have some design or audio job, then it’s better to go with Linux, but either way MacOS is way more solid and reliable than you’re giving it credit for.
