Apple has a memory problem and we’re all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive “Pro” computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

I’ll never understand brand loyalty, for the price of a Mac you can get a machine that’s 10x more powerful with the same software being available in Windows.
It’s about user experience for me. I’m a software dev, I work with linux or unix systems. When i’m home I don’t want spend my time configuring a windows machine with terrible UX. OSX is very well built, built-in basic security, etc. It’s just much less hassle Edit: also, it being a unix derivative, if I need to configure it, i can just use my knowledge from work and not have to look for the usually nonsensical number of checkboxes and menus I have to look for on windiws
Except a lot of the software isn’t available. There are pros and cons to both. I’ve done windows, Linux and now I have a MacBook. It’s better than Linux and Windows in a lot of ways but also worse in a lot of ways.
You can’t get a machine this powerful. Intel/amds laptop chips are blown out of the water by apple silicon. If you try to match all the specs you’ll struggle to get many offerings below the price apple charge.
