But does it taste like one?, today on fact or cap we are-

@@whatsinhisdome2583 How many McDoubles can one buy for 1300 dollars? They are actually digestible, if not healthy. Far less painful to throw out of a window, too.

@@claycassin8437 in my state mcdoubles are 1.89 meaning you can buy close to 688 mcdoubles with $1300

This has got to be a troll. 'It just works' is such an Apple fanboy thing to say:))))))))) They should say 'it doesn't work with anything else and costs 3 times more'

Just using a browser with many tabs can eat a lot of memory. Many people won't use Safari as their main browser.

same

@@zeppelin0110 Or you know, close tabs when you're done? And turn on tab sleeping in the settings.

I don't know about macOS these days. But I rarely use more than 12 of my 16 in my gaming rig. But then again, I know how the history works and what bookmarks are so I don't have to keep my tabs open. The only time I use most of the RAM is if I'm editing a video. 8 is still good if you only do desktop stuff like browsing the web or a document or something. But if you do anything, and I mean anything, you want as much RAM as you can afford.

@@zeppelin0110 Unified memory is a thing.

You can buy a Steam Deck and use Linux lol

That is true. But you can still do some decent gaming on Mac. For example, you can play: Dungeon Keeper Gold, Planescape torment, Cuphead, Balders Gate, Timberborn, Papers please, The curse of Monkey Island, sim city 2000 special edition, Frostpunk, Citizen sleeper, Superhot mind control delete, Cultist simulator, DUSK, Warhammer 40k mechanicus, Tyranny gold edition, Rimworld, Battletech, Into the Breach, Reigns her majesty, Darkwood, Sunless Skies, Brigador, Hollow Knight, and Factorio. You can pick up all of those games on GoG. They'll be 100% DRM free. And now that GoG has undergone some overhauls, they are almost as fast at giving out refunds as Steam. So if you don't like a game then it's super easy to refund it. On top of that, m1 and m2 macs work super well with the Dolphin Emulator. So if you can find some good sights to get RoMs from for free then you effectively have the entire game cube library available as well.

@@vincarro5078 but for the average gamer consumer can you really expect them to go into a new environment like linux use this thing that is not really portable that you haft to use like 10 different adapters to use if in the future the mac mini is just as good as that and just works apple may not be known for gaming but their products do just work

@@charlie_sketch I heard GTA1 might be ported to Mac soon:))) So excited.

More than sufficient!

Thank you for admitting what is honest and not shitting on things just cause. Seems like it’s gamers vs creators. Used to hate on apple too but currently things are undeniable. I have a Microsoft surface 3 base and a m1 MacBook Air base and the MacBook can edit Dji Mavic 3 footage while the Surface can’t even play it back. I’m sorry about your games though, I wish we could all have our priorities covered 😢

@Kendal honestly if I needed a computer for any kind of work I do it would be a mac. My hate from apple came from overcharging for products that were not worth it or things other companies did 2 years ago( I'm still a hater on iPhones for this reason) but when it comes to raw performance if you don't need to game then you'd be stupid to not get a m1 or m2 mac

@@pjsw I had the exact same mindset before I got into photography and now that I have a professional camera I rarely need my phone outside of regular documentation photos. Then I started working freelance and it just became obvious to buy the MacBook and I have to say I used to be a Samsung fanboy I would bash apple at every single opportunity and I had to eat my words when I changed over. I realized that all devices now offer incredible potential and it really depends what your use is for it, what product you will determine as the “best” for you. Have a great day Pete!

I got the same thing. A refurbished Apple Mac Mini M1 with 16GB ram and 256GB SSD. It works great. I love it for iMovie, Time Machine backup contents, and the built in screen recording app. 3 things that Windows does not have. Sure I've tried Power Director 365 trial. Was it great? No. It was rather hard to get to certain things and add this and that. Versus iMovie it's as easy as drag and drop what you want in it where you want it to be. Nothing works that easily on windows, nothing.

Apple always made good products, and now they also make the best true budget phones. Im rocking my iphone 8 happily. Still full updates, no issues at all. Fast and easy and now its like 100-150 dollar phone used or less. If they made arm chip on windows laptop Id be interested...my basic 11th gen I5 laptop runs hot and loud.

It’s literally $600. Do you freaking want it free?

​@@Justsomebodyelse235 Um, well I don't want to pay a fckton of more money to actually get good specs. Your 256 gigs in the 600$ model wont get you that far. And 8gb of ram is, well gonna run Minecraft. But it's advertised as a work machine. You can definitely get a Laptop with at least the same specs, probably taking up less space, and without Mac OS which is an argument in itself. I bought a PC setup including Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor and Headset about 3 years ago with a tb of storage as HDD plus a boot SDD of 500gb for about the price of the 1,3k$ model. Yeah, yeah, inflation and all that, but comparing to what you could already get when this launched, it's not actually that cheap. Alright, yeah, but definitely not a deal for most

Well how else do they get you to keep buying new overpriced products from them if they don't design them to burn themselves out over time.

Unfortunately, this with irreparable computers is the norm - like the phones. Like the phones I don't buy the flagship item. With the phones I'll get one with a huge battery and ruggedized before I'd ever get an iPhone. An Android tablet for a C-note beats $500 for the Apple. I have 2 of the mini style computers, both for ~$175 each with Linux. Chinese brand with no MS-Tax or Apple Tax. I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly but that's the sucky reality.

You ever run into lag or the ball of death?

MacBook Air is probably best for sound editing if you do studio recording as it literally has zero fan so it is literally zero noise.

That's the only reason why I am not buying any MacBook and I preferred another (kinda overpriced but greatly made) machine called Surface Laptop Studio. I own a Mac Mini with M1 chip, bought it to try MacOS well and get disappointed by it. Mostly I cannot stand its window management, it's just miles behind, and Stage Manager makes things more confusing and solves nothing where it is bad.

@@piereligiodisante that’s why I have both.. I LOVE my MacBook for schoolwork and BSing but my windows computer handles everything else. I could live without the MacBook but couldn’t live without my windows computer.. I just like having both pending on what I’m doing

@@dakotamurphy225 Yeah I'm quite in the same situation. I own a desktop windows PC (which also kinda works as a server), the SLS as I already said, and the Mac Mini. Sometimes the Mac Mini comes in handy, but I own it mostly because I want to develop some ideas also for iOS, and I want to have what I need for doing that. I'll start soon lol

because that's who made it. crying children

name 1 entry level windows machine w 8gb video ram

@@lilposs98 Any machine with a $100 RX 580 equiv or a lower-end GeForce x050. Take the hostility down a notch though, MM. We're all on the same side here.

Probably logic user will get it, window has more options overall, but it’s must for logic user.

It's impossible on Apple Silicon. Those chips have RAM embedded. Now they've got a good excuse for making it not upgradeable at least. Though, they also solder SSDs which are on a different place on the motherboard, and those things wear out too... Killing them before their time

TBH, RAM is not just a RAM stick - it's unified memory capable of being used by the CPU, GPU, NPU, and any of the IP blocks on the SoC. At the minimum on the M2 it's 200GB/sec memory up through 800GB/sec on the Max. Typical RAM on a PC can only be accessed at a maximum rate of about 50GB/sec.
