No, they literally do not make computers for productivity anymore.
All laptops have to be paper thin and ultra light and have 12 hour batteries because the only thing people do with their computers outside these days is post on social media inside a starbucks at 10am on a weekday.

This is pretty subjective, since it depends on your tolerance and general access to a wall plug.

Battery life is shit in basically everything now since everything is wafer thin with a 2k screen.

Why not just install Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro? It sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

Realistically though, you should be able to "get shit done" on MacOS unless you're a Windows programmer or something.

It's not like Windows is inherently better at spreadsheets and shit, Microsoft Office is on both operating systems.

It entirely depends on what industry you want to be productive in.
In my industry, everyone use gnu/linux.

MacOS is fine if your job only requires software that is available on a Mac. Graphic design and art stuff is often using Mac's because of their excellent screens, though there are some Windows laptops now that are just about as good.

It's a meme that Mac's aren't for work, they're computers. If you do work that is possible on a Mac then it's just as good at it as on a PC.

What a strange thread. I've never heard of any dev tools not available for Mac, and Windows missing out on having a powerful shell console kind of defeats the person of the OS entirely for me.

If you're not using OSX at work I assume you're using RedHat, otherwise what are the support guarantees?

Obviously not asking the hobbiests and gamers, computers are just toys for them.

Pretty standard for "premium" ultrabooks. A lot of college students get Macs for the reliability of having a computer that will last 4 years. That's why they stomach the price, they're buying a quality (at least according to marketing) computer for a premium price that is built to last. The Surface Laptop is hopefully going to be filling that niche.

>>60271826
Bruh, they're targeting the dipshit normies who would usually spend 999 on a shitty MacBook Air and don't know shit about computers. Full blown Windows is too complex for their little brains so what did you expect Microsoft to do?

Now that I think about it it's really nice of them to offer Win 10 S...it's like offering a watered down version of Go Fish or some other game for mentally challenged children. But I'm happy these normies will at least be getting better specs for their money and not giving money to Appel and buying their gay ass shit products

Sorry, its a Mac. I'm a happy ThinkPad user but if you know what you're talking about, you'll agree that the most important thing on any computer is the software you actually interface with to get shit done and run things. Nothing compares to a Mac because Apple made both the hardware and OS.

You know what would be great, if Lenovo started making custom Linux distros for their machines. Then Apple would have some real competition.

Aha yeah. You would think that's a good plan until you actually do it.

Suddenly your battery life is shit. The thing runs hot as 1000 burning stars, switchable graphics does not work and the trackpad is worse than the cheapest Compaq shit.

That's all Microsoft's fault though. Of course. It's not up to Apple to make good drivers for their own hardware.
