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?

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.
