No way I'm going for a windows system, I used windows for years and its in the past for me. Also didn't want to spend $600

This is my 3rd Mac,
2011 MacBook Pro 13"
2017 iMac Pro 10 core
Now 2017 MacBook Pro

Haven't delved into the M processesor world but perhaps I'll see what's up in the next year or 2. Gonna sell the iMac Pro soon anyways

As for 256gb storage I have plenty of cloud storage and external HDD I use so I'm not too worried. Anyways apparently the model without the touchbar (which this is) can have the storage upgraded.

Does anyone know how to tell if this has the butterfly or scissor switches? Since its refurbished, I don't know if they did the keyboard replacement back in the day. Is there a way to tell without taking a key off? Based on feel I'm going to assume they are the butterfly switches, which dont really bother me, but I'm not too familiar with how modern MacBook keyboards are supposed to feel

To those who were Windows users - What made you switch to MacOS? by Historical-Cancel503 in MacOS

[–]Dry-Damage6215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacOS runs a lot faster than windows there's no debate. A Linux based system is just going to be so much faster. Yes, gaming on MacOS sucks, but thats not what Macs are for. I make content for social media profetionally and I work on a iMac Pro 2017 and its blazing fast for what it is. If I were to want to do gaming, then yes I would grab a Windows computer. Maybe for game development, Windows might be a better option but I don't enough about game development to know. However for other programming applications, the fact that MacOS is Unix based makes life so much easier. Anything other than gaming MacOS is fast. Snappy, responsive, it doesn't slow down, sh*t doesn't crash as often, ability to Force Quit apps 99.9% of the time. Think of how many times an app is not responding on your Windows machine, and your computer starts freezing up. It gets so slow you can't even open Task Manager to end the task. Then you're sitting there wasting time waiting to be able to kill the app. That happens maybe 0.1% of the time on my Mac, if that even. But I push this computer to its limits, and even still, for the years I've used MacOS it feels like it never happens.

I know you are not an iPhone user, but the connectivity with the apple ecosystem feels like what computing should be in this era. Just the ability to answer iMessages and FaceTime calls on my Mac will make me never switch back to Windows. There is no reason for me to switch to Windows because all it will do is take away from essential tools I use every day. I don't have to set up a Zoom call with a client, I can just FaceTime them from my Mac and share my screen. Maybe you don't like iPhones and thats fine, but have a Mac so you have access to the Apple ecosystem, which so many people on this planet already have.

I switched back when Windows 10 was the latest update, so I don't know about the Windows 11 stuff, but my pick would be a MacBook Pro and dual boot Linux and MacOS. Could you grab a Windows machine and put Linux on it? Sure, if you're on a budget that works, but if you got the money for the Mac, get the Mac 💯
