Why would Apple be associated with being rich? They’re very averaged priced now.
If you have money you still shouldn’t buy a mac.
I can be as rich as god and wouldn’t go for windows or apple. I would rather invest the money in good Foss development
Being a support person, if I was rich enough to frivolously buy systems, I’d have at least one of each as a reference system. Yes, I know, vms, but that’s for saving money/space. Especially MAC I’d have some hardware too. Definitely not a main system though. I currently have a broken Mac and a cheap chromebook for that reason, though due to being broken the Mac is rather useless now. When it worked I often used it to help test/troubleshooting customer stuff.
Do you have multiple monitors?
Yes - Don’t buy a mac
No - Still don’t buy a mac
I mean, yeah, don’t ever buy a Mac, but what’s up with the multiple monitors? Do they struggle with it?
The base model chips only supports 2 monitors. The Pro, Max, and Ultra chips all support multiple monitors.
macOS out of the box fucking sucks for monitor scaling with third party monitors. It’s honestly laughable for a modern OS. You can install some third party software that fixes it completely, but it really shouldn’t be necessary. I use an (admittedly pretty strange) LG DualUp monitor as a secondary, and out of the box macOS can only make everything either extremely tiny, extremely large, or blurry.
Other than that, I’ve had no problems at all, and the window scaling between different DPI monitors is a lot smoother than it was with Windows previously.
For me it’s that compared to windows and linux, handling multiple windows between screens is always problematic, and is made worse by alt-tab bringing up all the windows for an application, which means they pop up in the other monitors too which isn’t usually what I want. Maximizing is usually not as straightforward as one would hope, and the dock moves to any window if you leave your pointer at the bottom which can get annoying fast. As some point out apparently there’s 3rd party software that allows you to fix these issues, but that’s not an option for me because I use a locked-down Mac for work and can’t install 3rd party software, so I’m stuck with the annoying base behavior.
I have a Mac with multiple monitors. It handles them a hell of a lot better than my PC at work.
I dont think it’s even possible to use more than two monitors on a M series computer (maybe except if you spend extra for the max edition)
That is only the case on the base model chips. The Pro, Max, and Ultra chips all support multiple monitors.
Low effort
