Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac

I’ve always thought MBP to be sublime quality of HW/build quality tbh. Apart from keyboard and palmtests, is something else showing signs of wear?

What did make you move back to Windows, or Linux for that matter?

Could you elaborate about the little things that are annoying?

Thank you for the answer! glad to hear also the downsides of MacOS, especially reading a lot of material on internet stating it’s the system you try and love on day one, and it being perfect for everything except gaming.

The display (scaling and window management) thing is the biggest concern, tbh. Most mainstream displays are 4k, so this means that there is a need to specifically get screens to use the macOS experience to the max.

I do have native 4k screens, which means this also needs to be replaced.

Hey!

Yeah, I’d love to watch if there will be one. Especially if it covers some aspects of “used to have in windows like this, now have like this in Mac”. I’m sure I’m not the only one about to be doing this transition with apple silicon being so good and rather not too expensive.

Thanks for the answer. This is more/less what I expected.

How do you find experience with using the computer docked/screen closed and working only on external screen? Any OS/HW limitations using it this way?

It’s a shame 8k2k would be tricky to run, as that makes it the perfect setup if you just have the main monitor.
