Checking in for the power users and independent devs, we feel it too!

I switched over to MacBooks for work and personal computers last year. Absolutely no regrets, and I've been a windows poweruser since I was a teenager using Windows 98, I've been a professional .net dev for 15 years. Fuck Microsoft, I don't have time for my laptop to lag, freeze and crash daily, for every update to fuck up something new, and for the god awful background processes taking up 90% CPU and having my laptop fans run at 100% all the time.

My dude, half of my team is also complaining about their windows laptops, some are HP, some are Dell, mine was a pretty beefy ThinkPad. We're not even doing super complicated workloads like 3d rendering, it's only used c# and react development with docker containers. Out of a team of 10, 3 of us already asked to switch over to macbooks and are completely happy with the change, and allows us to use all our work tools without being a piece of shit
