[QUOTE="altair21, post: 2521959, member: 102751"] I would say thats really subjective and anecdotal, case in point, me, we still have laptops functioning from 2010 and PCs my father built in 2003-2004 and I know a couple of my friends who ****ed up their laptops in 6 months, It all depends on how you take care of it. Macs specially from the flex gate era have been notorious with display issues, And its not even this, with today's macs, if your SSD decides to **** up, your laptop is nothing more than e-waste whereas with other OEMs its a simple matter of just swapping stuff out, and this is honestly what has kept our old shit going, we could just swap out parts as needed. Apple has really pushed forced obolescence whenever they can, be it their bullshit on an iPhone where you cant even get an aftermarket display because Apple said **** you or their bullshit with macs and soldering everything to the board. Say no more I gotcha :D From where I am coming from, if more peeps instead of just going along with Apple's or any other OEM's bullshit, just refused to outright buy their products, we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place. Apple gets away with it because people continue buying into their bullshit, Yeah, I am firmly into the **** Microsoft club, but seriously if you are willing to put in time, look into debloated windows, that'll solve all these issues forced microsoft issues but yeah, its really aggravating but thankfully I havent really experienced many issues like this, yep and I get it, and I would have been one of the biggest supporters of Macs if not for Apple, I have been using one for work for years now, and its a joy to work with but whenever I think about buying one, I see Apple and I get turned off. This honestly aint gonna happen, atleast not with Windows, Microsoft gets their money from enterprise customers and backwards compatibility and enterprise goes hand-in-hand. it's not the on-board memory, its the unified arch which has common memory for ram/gpu, its basically the same thing as a PS5 or Xbox and aside from gaming and maybe video editing. you wont feel a difference in daily usage. get any windows laptop with a decent processor and a ssd, you wont feel any difference in it unless you literally start measuring loading times with a stopwatch, A good example of this is PS5 vs PC loading times for Sony ports, a PS55 has similar arch as the Mac with unified memory and most loading times compared against a decent PC, come within a couple of seconds if that and this is an extreme case where assets need to be loaded in/dumped within an extremely short period of time, [/QUOTE]
