Apple seem to have changed the narrative recently from "look what we made" to "look what you can make" I just think that's interesting
I think that their narrative is how much money can we make you give us
@@georgedennis3153 there's that too
@@georgedennis3153 I don't own any Apple product, but watching embarrassing Intel performance against Apple M1 chip. I am really considering to give Macbook air a shot. It finally seems to be value for money since Intel is sucking money with their shitty chips which seems to be good only for cooking omelette
I love Apple products but they do charge like double for RAM and SSD upgrades
I dont blame them because people are willing to pay
@@georgedennis3153 yeah I've read articles where they've said that the new Apple product is overpriced then in the same article it's said how they've sold out
Yeah they're overpriced but they sell and they sell extremely well and that's all that apple need really
For me, it’s Apple’s undeniably fantastic suite of accessibility features. I’m visually impaired, and these products have allowed me to work and create like no others. I would even confidently argue that nothing in the industry can remotely compare; especially when you consider the rest of the things mentioned (the ecosystem, seamless and efficient design, universally user-friendly interfaces). I think this quote from Jony Ive about Apple’s design philosophy perfectly summarises why I love using these products:
*”I think there is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity…in clarity …in efficiency. True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation... it's about bringing order to complexity.”*

If you're a gamer:
*"wrong"*
LOL exactly
Macs aren’t appealed to gamers
And apple never did lol
I own a MacBook and iPhone for daily use and studying/work. But for gaming I use a pc. You shouldn't think about gaming when buying a Mac. you also don't think about productivity on a playstation :p
with the existence of geforce now and apple silicon, this is becoming less and less of an issue. I just sold my gaming pc in favour of a Mac because I love macOS, even though I do game from time to time. The fact that my MacBook Air can run metro exodus at 50-60 fps is mind blowing, and enough for me.
gamir pc
My favourite aspect of apple stuff is their focus on experience. They want you to feel happy or satisfied or even just satiated without having to dig into it in any technical way. The trackpad is a good example. You don’t really care how they made it feel so great to use but you do end up wondering why every other trackpad ever made feels like hot garbage in comparison lol
Just looking at it now, for the first time, in this video, makes me jealous! Mine looks like it was forced to exist
This is what I love about Apple products. They put a lot of focus on user experience and it goes a long way. I daily drive Windows on my work laptop/desktop at home and Linux on the servers at work but own both an iPhone 13 Pro Max as well as an M1 iPad Pro. I use both my phone and my tablet while having AirPods in my ears and the simple fact that audio output to my AirPods automatically switches between both devices, depending on which I'm currently using, is fucking amazing. Every device Apple produces is so easily paired and configured; it's incredibly intuitive and it's a pleasure to use. Everything just works so well together and stays out of my way after a long day of bullshit at work. I'm looking at getting a MacBook Pro as a desktop replacement soon and delegating my desktop to a Proxmox host. That's how much I love their ecosystem.
@@OhMyKMPR right on. There are pros and cons to any OS situation, but when both are an option, I always go to macOS and apple in general. Sure, it ain’t perfect, but the experience is almost always better overall.
It's funny because Apple products like their keyboards and mice feel like cheap toys with a worse experience than some dollar store technology to me. They even developed mice that don't let you right click in the past, why?

Worked in IT for 26 years and used every single MacOS OSX version from the first release 20 years ago, till the last. So I've been using Windows and OSX extensively at work and home over those years. When it comes to OS consistency, reliability and privacy, Windows does not stand a chance at getting me back from MacOS. When I have a say in the matter, MacOS / IOS for me, Linux and the BSD's for my servers. I only use Windows when I have no choice.
Same. Been in IT since 1996. I've used Windows since Windows for Workgroups/Windows 3.11. I was a NT 4 MSCE. At work I use Windows, because most of my clients do and I have no choice. I'm very much a pro user on Windows. I write code on Windows, I use Powershell. But boy do I hate the OS. First of all it looks pretty much like it did 20 years ago, but worse, the whole user experience is the same inconsistent mesh. From app to app, menu's are different, short cut keys are different.
At home I have Macs and a Proxmox cluster to run my Linux servers on, I also have a bunch of Raspberries for all kinds of fun projects. We always had iPad's in the household, but I never had a use case for it myself, until I got the iPad M1 + pen and now I use that extensively for 3D drawing, Concept app for concepts, etc. So for me it is Mac and IOS for clients and Linux on the server all day. I have one Windows gaming machine from which I stream games on all our other devices.
you IT guys clearly arent gamers
Shame Android is less annoying than iOS.
A Mac w.o. a iOS device is odd
O would use anything but macOS.
i only have a windows pc specifically for gaming, the only reason ive found that i "need" windows. usually if my mac doesnt do the job i just switch to linux and do what i need to
When I used Windows I got so used to trouble shooting issues all the time I actually took pride in my "skills". Then I switched to Mac and realized I'd rather just spend more money for a computer that actually just works like it's supposed to.
I'm at this stage right now. I've been trying to buy a new windows laptop recently and i've been plauged with different problems on all of them, usually software related. The samsung galaxy book 2 pro i got now promissed 22 hours of battery life but only delivers 3 hours 30 minutes of battery, i dont know what the problem is and i dont care anymore to troubleshoot it. I just cant deal with all the broken promises anymore.
Setting up a new macbook takes less time than the "were preparing everything for you, just wait" Screen on the Windows install
@@mli3793 Possibly Windows running some updates and other crap on the background eating your battery.
@@4nlimited3dition_4n3d I was tired of always having to find an explanation to why things don't work like they should. When buying the Mac I for the first time could just focus on what I was doing instead of the OS always being in the way.

Linus: Nearly drops a MacBook
mac book almost dies and linus doesn't bat an eye just continues w/ the script
Something I've noticed going between MacOS (formerly OS X) and Windows over the past 11 years is when I have an issue on Windows the whole system crashes. When I have issues with MacOS, it typically only affects whatever software is having an issue.
I never had too much of a problem with my entire machine crashing on windows. But indeed I can say that overall I have less issues on Mac than PC as far as reliable and ease of use is concerned.
yay for unix
The only time my system blue screened at me was when iobit unlocker is executed, and the problem was iobitunlocker.sys
@@terasestHammasratas Meanwhile Windows 11 gave me 3 blue screens because it wasn't recognizing the USB drive.
@@unknown_codec_404 Never had that happen for me on Win 11 and I've used it pretty much since when insider previews became available
I love my MacBook. It’s a mid 2015 with retina. I just had to get some repairs done on it recently (new fans, whole battery/keyboard/trackpad assembly entirely replaced) because my battery had degraded and actually expanded. Cost me about $300 at a repair center, and I spent another ~$300 installing a 2tb NVME SSD myself at home, and I’m entirely confident this thing will last me another 5+ years.
This is one of the last MacBooks where you can actually replace components. The newer ones have everything built in to the base board. I’ll hang on to this thing until it becomes a pain to use it every day.

Chicken Wing same. I really thought it will fall
the unix thing is so important, seriously cannot be overlooked
Dude amen. I had to download ubuntu for my windows friend and it took us 2 hours.
Only reason I really use it nowadays, it's a whole unix environment, posix compliant!
@Aditya Bhattacharya same, its only that when you do it for the first time, you fear making wrong decisions.
I just run Linux Subsystem for Windows when I need a real Linux terminal. But having all of it in the same environment does wonders for keeping yourself sane... I personally don't like macOS shortcuts for every app is different from windows, it is too disruptive to me even the navigating on text boxes by "Ctrl + arrows" doesn't exist, middle mouse scroll as well... Maybe MacOS with a trackpad/magic mouse is more blissful to use. My Windows is already set up with an environment I've painstakingly taken care of for years, I even use Veeam Agent backup utility (daily, seamless bit-perfect delta images of my system drive) to roll back any state of the drive from the last 16 days... Pretty much TimeMachine for Windows. Has file level restore too. I run a Windows Enterprise which was converted from an LTSC image, to make sure it had as zero bloatware as possible. I've turned off updates, because I prioritize stability, I'll update if any major security flaw or feature update arrives. I've turned off all telemetry crap as well.
Btw, my "mac" was a hackintosh, but it was perfect, I JUST didn't like:
- the text rendering engine on low dpi monitors
- keyboard layout
- shortcuts
- Lack of native NTFS support
- native window management
- scroll (with a regular mouse)
- text-box navigation behaviors...
- MacOS & Windows file system manager tries all they can to corrupt with each other's file systems and the entire disk altogether, they are so ridden with glitches, you should just never keep NTFS on the same partition as a MacOS exclusive partition.
... And just because my stuff wasn't there and I couldn't bother with reinstalling software and setting things up on a new platform... Every trial I had to mount NTFS on MacOS was painful and those third party drivers give you warnings of possible corruption risk. Nope, I just won't bother. Maybe someday I'll buy a real Mac just to give it another shot, while I still have my everyday trusty, painstakingly-crafted windows binary-perfect image until it gets rotten with glitchy registry trash and littered with unintentional uninstallable-bloatware.
@@Lucas_Simoni we don’t use linux just because of the terminal tho...
We use linux because the kernel is as stable as a rock! Also the filesystem, NTFS is a plain joke
I can truly say that all of my Macs throughout the years have been reliable. Both of the iPhones that I've owned as well. My 1st gen 128GB iPhone SE had recently gotten to the point that it's battery wouldn't hold a charge, so I replaced the battery myself. Works like a champ again! Just like new.
I've always had termal issues on laptops since Apple moved to Intel.

Linus created LTT/LMG so he could eventually be an underwear model even if only in his own videos.
Hilarious
It has taken years to implement, but he has finally proven Chad wrong. He can get people to see him in his underwear.
Yep, and you can buy them for some reason, too. I did not need to see that.
The long con
Being a fanboy of ANYTHING is bad. It's always good to see the pros of different brands. Macs have some super cool things that I wish Windows had.
@Bgkillas Minus majority of game support.
Apple had shit the bed for a few years (since 2016) but lately they won me over again. I'm still using my mid-2015 mbp but with all the upgrades and the rumors for the upcoming macbooks I'm not so worried about what my next laptop will be now.
@Bgkillas No it just doesn't. I have used Windows since at least version 3, I have used Linux since you had to install from a million floppies and Macs for about 10 years. Linux has many of the issues of Windows (having to be written to run on everything instead of being able to concentrate on a few devices), no self-made hardware to partner with it (like the Apple trackpad) and its lacking huge amounts of software (which Windows of course mainly wins at).
The Macs have strengths that Linux simply cannot compete with.
Bgkillas you sound really dumb after being proven wrong
But are they need no and for that price tag no

I take issue with point 10. Apple has consistently taken it upon themselves to decide what the customer wants for them, even if what they do is actually detrimental to their users. Example: Apple deciding that 32-bit programs are too ancient and just cutting them off from Catalina, even though many people still use 32-bit programs on the daily.

Great video with production value very high also very informative! My first mark was the SE and I’m still working with Mac it’s like having a best friend!
Watching this on an early 2009 macbook pro that I have taken to and from work literally every single workday, taken on business trips and even holidays. It's basically never left my side, and I pretty much haven't turned off in 12 years. I've replaced a battery and a CPU fan, and switched out the hdd for ssd (coz, why not), and it works pretty much as the day I bought it.
When I bought the macbook, it was replacing a 2yr old Lenovo that by the end was taking foreeeever to do anything, and crashed on the regular.
Maybe I just got lucky, but this laptop has been outstanding. Yes, it was twice the price as a comparable non-apple laptop, but worth every penny imho.
Yes, I also had a 2009 macbook that my dad got for me when I started college. It lasted me 9 years. I used it everyday and upgraded to ssd and changed out the battery. Unfortunately I spilled soda on it twice. The first time my e key wouldn't register. I still used it for a few more years, I would just ctrl + V an e lol. Then I spilled soda on it again.... Now I I have a macbook pro 2018 and no drinks will get close to my laptop again.
to be honest in the 2010's all my electronic non-apple devices lasted ages and were always running well even after many years, the new devices i buy in recent years after 1-2 year begin to always have problems like they arent made to last

I have a 2017 15in MBP and I’ve unfortunately had some reliability issues with the moth board completely dying on me multiple times requiring it to basically be completely replaced. However since my last repair ~2 years ago it has been running very smooth and still performs almost like day 1 when I got it (considering apps now compared to 4 years ago want a lot more RAM, CPU and GPU power). I’m very happy and can’t wait to upgrade to the newly release 14in MBP with M1 Pro / M1 Max SOC.
One other benefit to Time Machine is the ability to not only restore from a backup, but to also set up a completely NEW Mac from a backup, a feature I have used to upgrade coworkers to a new computer without really disrupting their workflow for hours
I use my PC for gaming and I use my Mac for everything else. I'm happy with my setup and IT WORKS.

FreakStyler I think if you get the specced out versions its just better, don’t confuse the butterfly keyboard with the magic keyboard which the newer one has which is more tactile than I first thought it would be
I think a Macbook pro and a custom PC is the best way to go. A custom built pc will be powerful enough to run VMs reliably with good performance and your MBP will cover any Mac only needs. And if you need a laptop for work the Mac might be better. I just feel like a macbook pro paired with a custom PC is the best combo.
Great video LTT! However, a couple key workflow items that I miss greatly on windows that weren't really mentioned:
- Spacebar previews for entire documents that don't require opening an application (so useful to make a quick review of document versions)
- Customizable hot corners (which I use constantly and makes switching between tasks much faster than windows)
- Ecosystem communication (as partially referred to in the video) which allows me to receive notifications and quickly/easily respond to texts on a computer. (I use this daily)
I have both a PC and a Mac and I am always happier working on the Mac (even though I accept that the highly regulated ecosystem limits max power of the computers for better and worse). If I could put Mac OS on a beefy PC build without the nightmare that a hackintosh still is, I would absolutely do that. I wouldn't even mind buying some Apple components to make that happen, but I want more control over the build than Apple currently allows. I'm still using a 2009 MBP and a 2013 Mac Mini Server which I have updated over the years specifically because I don't want to buy one of the new Macs that are so restrictive. That being said, the love-hate relationship I have with the Surface Pro isn't any better.
Can you text an iPhone from a PC? Or simply text an android from a PC oS? I have a vintage 2011 MacBook pro. I can and do text androids from it with ease. one click from my primary iPhone and my 2011 Mac recognizes that and Boom!
Why does it take 5 minutes for windows to search through all my files, but Mac OS is almost instant?
Probably because windows has to search through more files that are hidden in a macs search box since they are part of the operating system functioning files.
Hence leaving the mac only searching for useful to the user files while windows searches through the whole thing useful to the user or not making windows easier to manipulate.
I am not an expert on the topic, but I think it has something to do with the file system format (macOS uses Apple's proprietary APFS) and with OS cache systems that are optimized for the SSD drives that Apple uses.
Try the software "everything"
From what I know, its because Mac has a designated index database for all your stuff, and its in sync with your daily activity, and shares the same index with your icloud, I caught it working in the backgroud a couple times, maybe 10-15s in session that the you can monitor the process if you pay attention, so when you search stuff, its searching through a tree structured database with weights and models considered to rank relevance, whereas windows literally put all your file names in list and go through it one by one, and spotlight is not only faster, while buildiing the index system it also goes through the contents in your file, so if you have a set of keywords in a pdf file, searching for the keyword would still return the correct file, although its not the name and only appeared once in the file, try it yourself. the thing about mac apps is they are so complete, they're complete packages with designers thinking of every possibility and needs the user might need at some point. And exclusive hardware support makes it possible for them to fine tune it and be sure everything works butter smooth.

One of the major issues with MacOS is just that when I am trying to work with a colleague who has a Windows and we are supposed to be working together on one system, it is pre assumed that I would know how to use windows which I do but the hotkeys I am used to just fucks it up

Linux is cool, but a top 10 of why it is just better than Mac OS or Windows might be tougher to pull off.
Keep in mind much of the Linux environment has many of the same tools that are in Mac OS.

I always wonder who are those developers who think mac os is needed for development and will make you a good performer, I've been using windows all my life and professionally for 2 years for my development work and did not find any issue that could hamper my development. Also, windows will always have alternative software if for some reason you don't want to use the mainstream.
You forgot the most important:
NO FU**ING DRIVER ISSUES!
@iOS 5 Oh I always forget Mac users just have to forget using anything not fully supported in their system
@iOS 5 How about an nVidia GPU upgrade? Ohh, wait...
@iOS 5 Obviously graphic cards are only used for video games! Anyways, both Mac OS and Windows have their own advantages. (I know GPUs are used for other things, it is sarcasm! )
@iOS 5 Seems like you've never heard of CUDA.
@iOS 5, Both systems have their pros and cons. One massive thing that windows has on mac for me is the backwards compatibility. Seems like every other upgrade with mac os means i can't use my music software and plugins... Fed up with it!!
1. Doesn’t ask me to update every 2 weeks (in the middle of my work)
2. Doesn’t run the risk totally screwing the computer every time you let such an update run
I've used windows my whole life and never had such problems. You can turn off update notifications and I never saw an update that actually will influence my experience as a user on work with windows that would actually screw anything up
Also doesn’t pick up a million viruses that make it get slow. PCs seems to always get so messed up so quickly
@@Alex-us2vw I can't remember when was the last time I got a virus on Windows 10.
ZeX. How are you checking? If you connect the machine to the internet it probably has viruses regardless what the antivirus software says. I guess maybe if you are behind a very restrictive firewall like found at business could have a better chance at being virus free on a PC but even they end up with viruses and on the news after losing customer data in breeches.
@@Alex-us2vw Where did you get such nonsense from?.. I have ESET as my primary antivirus and Windows Defender running as a secondary antivirus. Every single antivirus software has its own virus signature database which gets updated 2-10 times daily. If antivirus doesn't detect any malicious behavior or viruses itself, there are no viruses. You sound pretty paranoid about that topic.

This would be great!
Um that video would be like a year long considering there are a ton of them, distrowatch.com has almost 300 listed and there are more. And then you would would have to take into account all different Desktop being used as some distros ship different version with different desktops.
Gerard Whittey He can simply focus on the popular ones, which would be Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Pop_OS (at least for desktop use).
I think there is one already...
Just install Gentoo
6:33 Almost pulled another Linus there.
I'm not here to say windows is bad, because it isn't, it's just that no OS is perfect. But MacOS time machine quick backups are a game changer. Hundreds of times I'll realize I just updated something which breaks a bunch of other things (like with Minecraft mods), but all I have to do is open the folder, click the time machine icon, and there's literally always gonna be a backup from yesterday. It has saved me so much pain and wasted time.
Literally just realized my wife got 10 years out of her now “Obsolete” MacBook Pro. No Windows laptop ever lasted me over 3 years. And there have been many.
Make this into a series called "10 ways...." I'm all for it.

Unless the t2 chip got damaged
Although a bunch of people love the fact that your texts and phone calls are all connected directly to your computer. It's actually a huge cybersecurity risk and many cyber professionals will strongly advise against linking these to your mac book. The reason is in case of high jacking. If a hacker is able to hijack control your computer, you've now also given them full access to all the of the 2FA codes that are either sent to you via text or over a call, so they could theoretically get into any account on your device that uses phone communication to verify its you.
I have an old 2014 iMac. I've never reinstalled the OS or performed any kind of maintenance on it at all, and it has seen heavy use. It's still fast to use. Has to have slowed down the amount of crap of put on it, but the difference hasn't been noticeable. I begin dual booting windows (using Bootcamp) a couple years ago to have access to more games and software. The Windows partition has had to be maintained via a few reintalls and whatnot in 2 years, and it has only had some GOG games and emulators installed on it. The machine itself is still mostly silent and boots fairly quickly. Enough said about reliability.
I know a guy who said it never reinstalled mac os in 10 years but it was a lie.
2 steps to a lie
1 say wonderful things about mac that cant tell if its true
2 bash windows and lie about a computer you never had.

Really got Todd Haward flashbacks from "it just works"
Don't forget Jensen
With reguard to Apple the more accurate phrase is "It just works, seamlessly" which is usually shortened by most people. Apple themselves never really said it much without the "seamlessly" bit until Steve Jobs' final years when I'm 100% certain he did it just to troll and make fun of those who would truncate the end bit to either praise or degrade them depending on context lol.
Sixteen times the Operating System!
See that windows app? You can run it
My surface pro with a few tweaks(powertoys) and Win10 almost fulfills every point by now.
My surface pro 4 has heat issues and can't render videos without the display freaking out.
just switched to mac after a lifetime of windows, and i can never go back!
Unix thing - it's not just about stability. It's about POSIX compatibility (basically it's easy to port a program from Linux/BSD/etc to macOS and vice versa), which brings a lot of console tools used by developers.
Just use linux then. To be honest, mac os offers issues even though the tools are ported to it. I find myself in linux 98% of the time, on a windows PC only for gaming, and macos is now just something that no longer has a use case for me.
Brad McLean no.
@@TheBodgybrothers
Same here.
I use ubuntu for work and Windows/Raspbian at home.
@@TheBodgybrothers More or less the same. I had a mac book for the occasional iOS app development and site cross compatibility, but for the past couple years just use a vm.
That's cool! But then Windows is completely different from all those operating systems. It really makes me wonder how Windows, a singular OS owned by a big corporation, became so huge compared to all these other OSes who are all cousins who are so similar and easier to develop for.
No immortal Cortana creeping in your processes in the background.
aaaaaaaaaah I hate this stupid thing !!! It's useless, doesn't understand wha you say to it and responds with silly bing searchs !

@@RefinerSimilitude When you finally rename the cortana folder with .old, Windows can't even acces it so cortana disappears from the task manager. But when you do that, you don't have the search bar.
When you just edit the register entries (like I did, I can't sacrifice the search) without changing the folder name, Cortana is just not visible, neither in the task bar nor in the setting, but it's still running in the background...

@@robrichard2907 yeah because macOS had multiple desktop for years, which no one seems to care about, but when Windows had snap, everyone started to bash apple.
@Noah Broyles I use Linux for development, so getting my code ready to go as fast as possible is the biggest reason why I prefer Linux. For average users, I completely understand why you would choose MacOS, I would probably do the same. As for the Linux flavor I use, it's Solus. Installed it once 2 years ago, and it still works perfectly.^^

It’s DISTROS, not versions
I think once you integrate Mission Control into your workflow it’s really hard to go back to Windows. You can fly through different windows in virtual desktops so fast. Going back to a single desktop feels really restrictive.
Well, there are multiple windows available in Windows. They‘re just not half as good as in Mac.O.S. (and an average user won‘t even notice they exist).
@@leonjeger88 I’ve been a windows user since 2007, when windows 10 came out I noticed you could do multiple desktops, never found a use to it…
Now I’ve been using a Mac for less than 2 months and I cannot go back to working on windows, Mission Control is so intuitive, just like basically anything in macOS
@Anthony Lopes Assuming you mean window snapping, you’re right. That’s because Microsoft has a patent for it. However on Mac it’s just as fast to have two full sized apps and four finger swipe between the two desktops. If you do want them half half on the screen like Windows, then the Magnet app makes that just as easy. I agree it would be nice if that were integrated but overall I still find window management way better on the Mac once you have three or more active apps open.
@@morzee94 Ohh I didn't know about the patent! There are free reliable apps for snapping in Mac too.
Reliability: I just replaced my late 2010 iMac with a new M2 Mac mini. I am probably a casual user/photographer so editing photos is the most intense thing I did and do with my Mac. That old iMac worked fine albeit a bit slow in the last few years. It still works, but I still needed a new one finally. On the flip side, I got a laptop at a job that was a Windows machine. I had it about two years and it was already slowing down and taking forever to boot up, laggy, etc. You get what you pay for and the premium cost of an Apple machine is worth it in my opinion.
yep, had to get a laptop for school so i found an old 2010 core 2 duo macbook air 11inch, got (officially unsupported) catalina on it, worked absolutely amazing for everything i could (reasonably) throw at it. woke up from sleep in about a second
of course its kinda a lottery if its going to last or not, but so far every mac ive had aged really well
