How are they better for productivity? Everything is made for x86-64. I've never seen a single office or business using osX.
It’s cheaper for large corporations to use windows and dell or Lenovo sure
But for the individual user or small teams, they are significantly better
MacOS still does multiple virtual desktops Better than windows, they still do multitasking better, and the trackpad + shortcuts are so much better than the best windows pcs that it is not even close to how a Mac facilitates a productive workflow
very seamless on macOS, still cumbersome and gets in the way more than it helps on comparable windows pcs (XPS, razer blade, etc)
my windows lineup includes razerblade stealth 2019 w mx150, XPS 13 2020, XPS 13 2 in 1 2018
Mac lineup is a late 2013 Pro and an M1Air
it’s hard to explain if you haven’t been publishing research papers, or doing medical work, as that is a niche, but I consistently find the MacBook experience in a class of its own. Superior in every regard for my line of work as well as more secure.
the fact my late 2013 pro can be sold used for 1/3 of what I paid going on 8 years later is a testament to the value as well
there is no comparison in build quality either.
I think the m1 air is the best value laptop on the market and unless one absolutely needs windows, you won’t find a better computer. Fan noise (lack thereof), entire UX, quality of components, speakers, display in 16:10, and battery life...are just second to none
I totally get why intel is creating this ad campaign and getting their advertising angle out there
