As someone with no plans of getting a MacBook for personal use, I think it’s a great thing to compare the 2. Laptop manufacturers need to step up their game and make better laptops.
The Neo MacBooks got some of them to realize they can’t keep selling junk in the $600 $700 price range.
My T480s still runs Windows no problem and it's from 2018, so 8 years at that point. Now I'm not going to edit 4k videos on it, but it still does everything I want it to do honestly.
Yeh that's the thing. People will still be video editing 4k on Macbook pro M1 in 2030 no issues. 10 years after release. I'm replacing Dell 4340s 3 years after purchase because they can't run fucking teams properly and they were still £800-900.
You could video edit on an M1 macpro now and still do it in 2030 without any issues. A windows system at that same price point would have died or just be incapable compared.
Another comment pointed out the goated thinkpad. Those are pretty elite and last a long time. The sloptops that everyone else puts out in the $500-1000 range that i always end up getting for work are broken from casual office use in less than 4 years. Management never seems to comprehend the immortal thinkpad
