- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Not sure what you're talking about, a whole lot of people use MacBooks, I don't think their market share dropped significantly. Desktop Macs, sure maybe but I think even that won't completely die out.
They are just ipads soon.
I'm not sure if that'll happen any time soon, they'd lose out on the IT professionals, audio professionals etc.
I got one just this year and it certainly doesn't feel like an iPad at all.
You got a desktop or MacBook? Macbook pro is pretty nice but i dont see a future for osx or desktop. And while i agree some real professionals might keep using it for another decade but the vast majority of Adobe professionals will be replaced by other tech like AI or nuke artists etc
I got a MacBook Pro M2. It's a good piece of hardware, MacOS was kinda annoying at first since it's my first MacBook but I got the hang of it and it's basically a normal desktop environment to me right now and I can't see that changing significantly in the near future, I don't think AI is gonna move that fast as to completely eliminate the need for typical PC desktop environments.
I stopped using it over ten years ago and dont look back at crap like quarkxpress or the finder. Only contact with osx i have now is old people with macbooks that have troubles with user permissions and Safari. Desktop PC can strive but i doubt mac desktop or osx will be part of that.
