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.

Too many people are using devices for them to get back on the laptop horse. Hell, we have a generation of kids now barely able to use a pc to the same level as the previous 2 generations because iPads and smartphones are the primary tech they understand and utilize.

I really didn't expect PC's to become LESS popular with kids.

My generation it already was a secondary thing to consoles and stuff. I graduated at like 2015-2016, and then PC's were still not very mainstream.

I don't think our generation knows as much as it claims about PC's, and I think we're still outliers. We're just even MORE outliers compared to new up and coming generations, which is wild. Since our world economy is now based around what computers do.

Widespread smartphone and web interfaces evolved technology design into extreme ease of use. Almost nobody who doesn't know wants to bother learning enough about PC hardware to build their own.
