What is there left to do in notebook and desktop computers that's "innovative?" Honestly the Intel slow-down sounds like the biggest reason. The only thing I really agree with is the discontinuing of monitors becasue they were basically LG panels in an Apple skin. They really should be building their ecosystem, not killing it a piece at a time. I use it as a WAP for tablets and phones now, and it's due to finally be replaced, probably with a Ubiquity. I'm still running my 2010 Airport Extreme, and I haven't rebooted it in, well, ever for a problem, at least not for years. The market is people who want it to plug in and have it work reliably and well, which is did marvelously. The market for the Airport isn't people that want a massively configurable router. Keep what works & add in basic stuff & its a really good product. Get rid of the stupid reboot when a device is added Heck even with what they have in there NetBsd ? they have all the pieces in place & all its needs is a nice UI. Ubiquity's Amplifi & add in EdgeOS like features like They could spend some time & effort & make the Apple Airport more powerful like I love Apple routers but they fucked themselves with the whole you can't configure the damn thing without a Apple device. Well, another one, I have 2 laptops and a Surface Pro. That's the only thing keeping me from getting a windows machine. I use WIndows every day, and have since 1993, and I truly do not like it. MacOS has the UNIX underpinnings that I like with robust, high quality commercial software availability. Of course there's no reason to make it ugly either.įor me it's all about the OS. I don't care what my desktop computer looks like - it's not a museum piece. No one anywhere, ever claimed to do it to save money, or have endless HW upgrades. The only reason to buy a Mac is because you need/want to be in the MacOS ecosystem. You don't need special insight to recognize that. Mac were ALWAYS more expensive, and less upgradable than Windows PCs. So you are here to gloat over what's been obvious for decades? If i was in apples ecosystem I would be sad and in much more debt. Once pci-express 4.0 comes out i will most likely do my next big upgrade and it should last me the next decade no problem. I would say I've spent like 3700 including monitor and other devices for almost 7 years of great productivity and i can easily get a few more years out of it if i choose to. I've had my i7-980x for almost 7 years now with upgrades to storage, ram, and gpu in that time frame. Far more efficient use of funds, that just cannot be debunked it is fact. I can access almost any of the hardware and replace it without a single tool. I routinely edit and encode video and building my own PC was a far more attractive option than an imac or the mac pro.
