Fuck windows.(this is mostly a joke) I suppose I could explain but I feel as though most folks can understand the sentiment.
Windows user since the late 90s and a daily windows user since 2005. I use them every day at work, as I do IT and provisioning and I still play games on my desktop and some light gaming on my windows laptop.
However, I've been dabbling in MacOS for a couple of years trying to figure out if I wanted to make the swap.
After playing with multiple mac laptops I've landed on a Macbook air 15 512gb for my daily driver and I picked up a gently used 2017 Macbook pro and I yesterday was my first day of only using MacOS after work and it was fantastic. The whole sidecar function of being able to control both laptops from one track pad and keyboard is super seamless and the speakers on both units are more than good enough to be usable. My room was cooler than its ever been without my high powered PC dumping gallons of hot air.
I'm still not a power user just yet, I'm learning the file structure and learning about different programs I need to make the most of my experience but so far so good.
I'm sure I'll find stuff that will be annoying, other than the lack of upgradability.
Good job Tim Apple, I like your laptops.
Also what the fuck these trackpads are goddamn amazing. I don't feel compelled to hook a mouse up at all to my macbooks.
So, anyone else made the switch? If you have what are some softwares that I need to make this machine really sing?
