Hi, /g/. Something I'm not entirely understanding of is why some long-time Windows users will buy a Mac but still Bootcamp Windows on it.

I can understand why a long-time Mac user might do this because of legacy use of software and maybe some of your productivity software you need for work or school might be Windows-only.

However, the converse seems somewhat silly to spend over $1,000 on a Mac or even $2,000 if you're just going to stick Windows on it again. I feel like you could shop around and for the same money buy a more practical and/or powerful computer.

What's the logic behind the converse? I apologize for a potential Windows vs. Mac thread, but I can never get a satisfactory answer from the people I know who do this firsthand.

What if you got the Mac for free and have no other computer ?
Currently in this situation
>Macbook book air 2014
>Quadboot
>XUbuntu
>Windows 10
>OS X
>Kali
I repair computers for people and got this bad boy in, but they never showed up to get it so I guess I'm keeping it

Probably stolen.

Also why not just run OS X? It's fantastic.

In my case I have a MacBook air and dualboot macos and windows just because I need to use solidworks and using it in a VM or via wine is useless
Solidworks is the most important one, but I use more software thatvisnt available for mac
>>
i dont get why people dual boot either

os x is too dank why would i want to install that virus botnet os on my computer. what essential program is windows only, protip, none
>>

Yes, but what are you using the Mac portion for, really? It's understandable that you might have CAD programs that are Windows-only, but what do you need the Mac for?
>>
>>58292811
Everything else
I boot windows to do whatever I need and then switch to macos
I don't need it but I like it better

I did it when I got my 1st mac before I got to know OSX and keyboard shortcuts and trackpad gestures and learn how to use workspaces for productivity. I clung to windows like a scared little bitch, but it time I ended up deleting it.

I did have a VM for some legacy hardware, but its now gone and i'm 100% sierra.

What's wrong with wanting to use the best hardware coupled with the best software?

Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro on one side, games on the other.
