Yes.

I used Windows OS my whole life. Used it for personal and for my job. It was such a change of pace to have a laptop that doesn’t overheat, make loud fan noises, doesn’t require a separate “fan-cooler” underneath the laptop, light-portable, and a battery that can last more than 4 hours. The integration to my other Apple devices is such a plus. I’m mainly speaking for the M2 MacBook Air. Plus I like the shiny Apple logo and the sleek design of the laptop.

I bought my 2015 MacBook Pro 15in because it had everything I needed, all the ports. HDMI, nice keyboard. No touch anything. The screen still is 1800p quality, and most importantly. It was 350 bucks. Yeah I bought it like 3 years ago and honestly it’s a champ!!

long-term durability and battery duration

Severely underpowered for what I do and none of my software will run on Mac.

i like how smooth they are, i don’t know how to explain it.

My mid 2014 is a top of the line MacBook at that time. Still works great today.

One thing I really do not like is Apple blocked me from upgrading to latest os. Makes no sense since, this laptop can deff run latest os 2.8 quad core, 16gb ram, GeForce 2gb. Literally runs like new! But I’m stuck on Big Sur.

i bought one cause i’m a studying sound engineer and apple products work best on them. i’ve been PC my entire life until 2019

I used a 2014 model untill a month ago, so it was almost 10 years old. It still worked like new, even better than a normal laptop i bought 2 years ago. I only upgraded (to a macbook M2) because i needed more ram for my study, but macbooks are an investment fr.

Fully color managed desktop environment including compositing SDR & HDR content together correctly at the same time. Reference display modes. Accelerated ProRes codec in hardware. I pull it out on set for gigs I get hired for and it performs, no bs.

Where to start?
- Supported long term (many years of OS updates).
- OS-wide unified smooth scrolling, zooming, back forward gestures.
- Awesome touchpad still unmatched in precision by Windows Precision Touchpads
- Additional multi touch gestures and actions with BetterTouchTool
- So many cool continuity features, use iPhone as a camera, iPad as secondary screen etc.
- Unified calling/facetime/messages across all devices at the carrier level (not tethered to phone)
- Battery life much better than competition
- Run 4 4k screens plus laptop screen with “Max” chip
- 400Mbps memory bandwidth with “Max” chip (super fast machine!)
- DEVONthink (OCR PDF file cabinet document system with iOS apps and synchronization).
- Apple photos synchronizing everything to all devices.
- Never worry about a single software update bricking my laptop. Never worry about maintenance/longevity. 4 Macbook pros each lasting 9+ years at current rate (I buy once every 5 years and SO gets hand-me-downs, very economically viable, everyone is happy).
- THREE FINGER DRAG with the touchpad!!!

I haven’t, but sometime in the near future I will.

I’m a photographer and I have yet to find an efficient system for getting photos from my laptop to my phone. I have an iPhone so if I had a MacBook I could do this with like three clicks.

Mac OS just works. I don’t need to fiddle with Settings to make it work. It stays out of my way when I need to do work
