I am a PC/Android user, always have been. I am a hard apple hater, I've tried to keep up with the new devices though, and I've also repaired them in the past. I hate apple mostly due to just not liking to be locked on my device (lack of customization but that has been getting better AFAIK), the fact that the phone feels boring, the overpricing, the not friendly right to repair, the stupid lightning ports (Thanks EU), the "elitist" feeling...

But god damn are these new SOCs making me reconsider... I was already very pleasantly surprised with the Mac computers recently. I think apple silicon is just waaaay ahead at the moment. If competition doesn't catch up somehow soon, I think apple's monopoly will only grow.

Also, AMD over Nvidia. Not saying it's better, but I'll always go team red. Just like Apple, I hate nvidia's business practices.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a good Apple bash for time to time, just saying this feels like Reddit of old. But yeah their fucking silicone is fucking crazy, who would’ve imagined a decade ago being like I prefer Apple for the hardware.

The M1 Mac book is my daily over Linux now. It's a wonderful machine, it's only concession is gaming can be a pain/not worth it. I like the "hobby" of it, but I know it's not for every one.

Got to love Apple for choosing to go with the Metal api over Vulkan.

Yeah I must say vulkan would've been sweet. But apple is big enough to mane metal work I guess... Time will tell, but I've never been closing to jumping aboard the apple train. Even though it kinda feels weird to me just thinking about it haha
