Hello. I'm a yuropoor and in my country at least, Apple is not very popular (except for iPhone - those are very popular).

Macs are perceived as expensive toys for less technical people. One thing I never understood about this whole Mac thing is, though, why do some people who are highly technical, almost geniuses (like the people working at the most advanced artificial intelligence company, DeepMind) - insist on using Macs?

Do you think such people keep macOS or install something else on it?

Seriously I have seen so many pictures of genius scientists, innovators, AI researchers with PhDs in math and compSci always using Macs. What gives?

They use macs for their power points and the hard work is done on real computers

Pretty much everything you use daily was made on a Mac. Yes, including 4chan.

I had a Macbook Pro. It's a luxury device. You pay more for less that computing power. It's the closest thing to bringing the terminal to normies so there's that.

This. Unix certified OS with paid developers working on it is a dream for development. It's like the best parts of Linux and windows put together.

Real work is made in Linux servers, mostly research makes jobs read or write paper or code some example code.

Just buy mac won't give it, high education and hundreds books read research.

Because it's Unix with a much better desktop, commercial software and hardware support, good font rendering and 99.9% of the open source software they need for work runs on it flawlessly.

On top of that, nobody runs big computing jobs on a single laptop or a desktop anymore anyways. If you have a job that does a substantial amount of processing you develop it on the laptop with a small amount of test data and then run it on a cluster.

Why do these "computerphiles" say "neither" to the question of "PC or Mac"? Like, "neither. Linux" --- WTF? So PC=Windows ? Linux is not PC? what the actual fuck

Macs have premium parts, like the screen, construction and good battery life.
But for that price, you can get better shit than an i5 and AYMD GPU

We have this thread almost every day, made by the same literal paid shills. The same exact answer is given every single time: because those people develop for all 3 major OS's and since macOS is locked down to macbooks, they need one for development. This answer gets ignored every single time.

>>61371955
Shit keyboard, horrible package management, no one gives a shit about muh UNIX certificate, desktop is definitely not superior to Gnome, font rendering is just above average.
>>
>>61373071
There's literally not a single better defaul font rendering on any OS and Gnome doesn't offer anything superior on its desktop experience

Google developers almost unanimously use OS X these days and 95% of them don't develop anything for Windows. They choose it because it's objectively superior to Linux on the desktop.

wow man. i am the guy that started making apple thread recently. didn't think that it would awaken more apple movement like this.

apple sees computing differently compared to other companies. that's all, i guess
>>
>>61373732
That's the actual answer. They don't get banned because they rephrase the question, but it's definitely shilling. A lot of their posts have identical word-per-word stories about how they switched from Linux/Windows to Mac and how it's so much better for a list of cherry picked reasons.

So we went from "the most competitive" to "one of the best".

>>61374168
Other computers have aluninum chassis without holding components with glue. You're just conveniently ignoring any flaws that don't suit your opinion.
>>
>>61374347
>>So we went from "the most competitive" to "one of the best".

those two aren't mutually exclusive, competitive means it can fight with others so it's one of the best, not the very best, otherwise it wouldn't be competitive it would be definitively (pronounced DEFFF-INN-IHH-TIV-LEE) the best

take a few more ESL lessons at your cram school before trying to play semantics on words you dont understand, pajeet

So can you provide some evidence on how it's the most competitive simply because it's one of the best in that area?

Not at all. On the hardware side I don't like the new keyboard they smacked on there Macbook and Mackbook Pro. Plus I think the ekstra display on the Pro is a bad gimmick. And on the software side I really don't like OSX at all. I prefer Linux or Windows by far.
None of this changes my previous points tho. Macs still have by far the best build quality of any laptops. I wish it was different cause' I really hate their new keyboard. I'm very much looking forward to the day the Zenbooks raise their production quality to the point of Macs.
>>
>>61374590
You still haven't showed how they have the best build quality, and I've shown at least one point where they're definitely below average. Repeating a claim doesn't make it true.
>>
>>61374486
That Dell is literally just made of plastic? And it has an awful display? The mac easily beats it in build quality. Not sure why you're highlighting CPU clock speeds and price? Did you reply to the correct Anon?

because youre delusional if you believe in the 'mactoddler' meme
most of software available on *nix is also available for macOS
combined with superior GUI, it's a pretty good OS
>>
>>61374638
False on both claims.
>>
>>61374631
Build quality is hard to argue in text format. I'd say - Go to a store or just watch a review so you get the "feel" of it. If you haven't used a lot of different systems it's obviously not easy to see. If you feel the hinge and the seamless design it's pretty obvious tho.
>>

>I ask for proof

Macfags are a joy to read.

Final Cut Pro and other meme programs. Only good thing about Macs.
>>
>>61374742
Yeah you feel build quality of products with your hands? Are you dense? And no I don't need to be using a system to be able to see the quality of said system. Tried a Zenbook too for example, they have acceptable build quality as well. But I guess you must be extremely invested in to your specific system since you refuse to see why others chose differently from us. Try to be more open minded Anon.
>>
>>61374799
>Yeah you feel build quality of products with your hands?
Actual quote from actual macfag.

People just use what they like best. Online battles about what is ""objectively best"" is the remit of autistic teenagers who don't do much work and for whom the brand/software preference is a replacement for personality.
