My OnePlus 5T was less than 1/4th the price.
The latest iterations turned me off the brand. Apple is still my go to for laptops, but the phone prices are a ripoff
for the same money, you get other laptops that are really nice with a cost/return ratio that is a lot better.
sure, apple products are good products. but the premium is getting absurdly high
The problem is that they'll all use Windows 10.
I switched to Apple because my Windows 10 experience was absolutely horrendous (literally 7m long start time).
(I can't use Linux because a core use is creating music and my software isn't available for it)
If Microsoft can improve Windows 10, which I don't see much chance of given how they keep screwing up their updates, there might be alternatives to Apple. But for now, OS X is the only competent software solution on the market
Windows may be bad, but it's not that bad. There's probably something else wrong with your computer.
