Thread 106364456

So basically if it did gaming there’d be 0 chance anyone would ever buy a Windows laptop again

If it also had CAD
And if it could outperform Nvidia GPUs in all the professional kinds of work they do (it doesn't)

Trust me, there are Indians here who will sink with Windows. There’s no convincing them to use a Mac.

>>106364551
more like they can't afford a Mac and turn every software they come in contact with into macOS clones (gnome, android, windows 11)

>>106364456 (OP)
> Windows laptop
It’s pronounced x86

The display scaling on macs(hidpi) is a huge thing I don't think people fully grasp.

You can use a high res display without having the icons and bar being minuscule.

This is why all windows laptiop displays look like dogshit compared to macs year after year. Because the scaling only looks adequate in 1080p. This is a huge part of why 1440p isn't the standard for monitors yet(no most people are not gaming on their pc's and dont require a high refresh rate 1080p monitor)

I think it'll take the retards coding windows at least a decade to catch onto this.

>>106364543
Autodesk products work on mac don't they?

>arm
>phone games
lmao even

>>106364662
Only some. Revit and Civil 3D, which I use, are missing.

>>106364622
The problem is that while Macbook screens are fine, if you use a proper monitor anything that's not at least 4K will look like shit, and it'll still have scaling issues so you'll really want 5K.

>>106364782
I’ve used a qhd monitor with my Mac for nearly a decade now and have never had issues. Is it certain brands or what?

>>106364773
Idk of any substitutes for civil 3D but for Revit there’s ArchiCAD

>>106364782
Huh I thought they’d fixed this in big sur

>>106364782
I used it extensively on a 1440p ultrawide and it worked fine. I've since moved my mac to another desk and got a 4k regular monitor also and it too works fine.
in fact both monitors looked weird in HDR on windows (washed colors, even with the correct color profile) (not so much the ultrawide, as it was a oled and a better display than the cheaper lg 4k), while looking completely fine on macos.

anything that appel open sourced, ever, in their whole miserable life?

They can get an M1 Mac Mini for a few hundred or hell something older like Intel for less. The intel one lets them install their beloved Windows too.

>>106364622

I’m interested in maybe getting a 5k2k screen next year for both Windows and Mac usage.

I don’t think you realize 1) how poor the avg street shitter is and 2) how expensive apple products are in the turd world in general.

>>106364816
clang, cups, swift, webkit

There are too many enterprisal and technical programs that dont work on mac. Almost every engineering software for one.

ok troll

>>106364980
I mean I use gcc. anything of substance, important, some open-sores legacy not some obscure optional shit? worthy of their giant status? clang and shit is like a billionaire throwing 50cents to some beggar

>>106364622
>I don't think people fully grasp.
I’m pretty sure they do, the MacBook has had a Retina display since 2012.

Also, Windows itself has been able to utilize HiDPI displays for quite sometime, although you’re right there there’s a lot of retards who are stuck on 1080p, and those who refuse to upgrade.

The hardware is excellent but the OS / software experience is already pretty mediocre and is getting actively worse in 26 because muh unifying UI with a bunch of toy-like OSs like iphone and vr goggles
Also jesus fucking christ why is there no dedicated delete button? fn+backspace needs two hands to press. This is such a hilariously dogshit system that the average normie will never be able to solve, have fun moving your hands hundreds of times whenever you browse your photos and delete the shitty ones

linux lgbtqia is a far right 4D chess move.

>>106365001
clang, with clangd, clang-format, etc literally changed the game. before you had a tool for each thing and the IDE would complain about a random error that the compile just wouldn't see, or vice versa. just because it doesn't have all the gnu extensions and it's not on par with some optimizations gcc does doesn't mean it's bad.
blink, chrome's engine, is a fork of webkit, and although khtml was open source already, apple went out of their way to make webkit reusable and modular, and not just a monolithic "safari" consisting of everything. if not for that, google could have never made another frontend on top of webkit and swapped their js engine for v8

>>106365039
literally nobody even heard of it let alone use it for something, without paying a fortune for their shit hardware

That shit is all locked down. RAM is built in the APU itself, impossible to upgrade. Storage is soldered to the mobo, replacing requires a technician rather than a five minute open-and-swap.

they are part of a lot of consortiums like khronos group and helped create usb-c and thunderbolt

No, I think it would need to run Windows. Which Microsoft isn't against by the way. That's their primary test device for WoA.
If you wonder why Windows sucks that's another example. They dogfood WoA on Mac VMs.

>>106364456 (OP)
there is a lot of bs involved in bsd utilities vs gnu ones too that i don't think people harp on enough
like bsd awk/grep ain't the same as gnu...

>>106364794
Civil Site Design extension for Autocad does the job. There are a bunch of free and open source cad software anyway, why be a retard and use corporate slop cad software?

the new desktop macs are no longer soldered

>>106364456 (OP)
Yes. Actually I mostly play newer Paradox games these days and those are all on macOS.

I haven't booted up my gaming desktop in a long time especially since Cyberpunk 2077 got a macOS port.

>>106364782
I'm using a pg278q with it (2560*1440) and it looks fine. Actually, text rendering looks WAY better than on windows.

>>106365444
probably he is forced to use that crap by his employer

>>106364456 (OP)
get a toilet currynigger

Maybe a bit ago, but intels lunar lake cpus were doing pretty well when I saw some reviews. You can also get a core ultra 9 for like $1400 at best buy right now.

>I'm using a pg278q with it (2560*1440) and it looks fine. Actually, text rendering looks WAY better than on windows.
you're full of shit. 1440p looks like total garbage unless you 'fake upscale' into double the resolution with Better Display

>>106365449
Huh?

>>106365618
what exactly is unclear to you?

>>106365615
Nah, it looks great. Maybe you've been using shitty monitors?
