I've noticed that people who use Macs often stick with them and keep buying Macs. Why is that?

I've observed that many individuals (e.g., software developers, graphic designers, etc.) who started using Macs through work or other means eventually switched to Macs as their primary computers. Even people who previously relied on high-end Windows laptops for their work seem to fully transition to Macs. Why is there such strong loyalty among Mac users? What are the reasons behind this preference, especially for someone who hasn't used Macs before? How would you explain this to someone considering making the switch? submitted by /u/BackgroundStress4589 [link] [comments]

Honestly this design was way ahead of its time. I really hope Apple revisits this style in the future. Absolutely stunning. submitted by /u/PanieTwarog [link] [comments]

You used Windows. You hated Apple. Then something happened. What was that something happened that made you switch? And what do you think about the Mac-ecosystem now that you're in it? What's your wishlist? submitted by /u/kindaa_sortaa [link] [comments]

What mouse are you using with Mac?

I want to know what mouse model you are using and what you think of its strengths and weaknesses on Mac. Is there any model of mouse you regret or wish getting for Mac? Why? Edit: Removed the “is not discussed” comment because whether it is or not discussed more than on PC is not really relevant for this post. submitted by /u/ArtBW [link] [comments]

Im tempted with the studio to use with three external monitors and lots of ram.

I have bad credit and don't have a job at the moment, I was looking at no credit check financing or something to get at least a 16GB ram model, as I majorly messed up and purchased the 8GB when M1 released. Any suggestions? Where did you find your major deal? submitted by /u/SomeRadio [link] [comments]

M4 Mac Mini SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired) becoming frequent

Didn't have this in the first week or so, but now every day or two, probably while sleeping I'm greeted with a Mac that's clearly just rebooted at some point due to an error (SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)) And I have to login and it boots up. I know this has been an issue in the past with other M chips and using external USB drives. Any fixes. Anyone else experiencing? submitted by /u/ArtichokeDesperate68 [link] [comments]

Green Bar on screen with SwitchResX (Mac Mini M4 Pro)
by Guest /u/Junk-Miles- 0 replies
- 4 views
I just picked up a Mac Mini M4 Pro and I'm having display issues. Previously, I used my Macbook Air, Thunderbolt out to a BenQ dock, DisplayPort to my Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) monitor. No issues with the display. But now with the Mac Mini, I use the built in HDMI port and first it would even let me use the correct resolution. Best I got was 3840x2160 and it's super stretched. So I downloaded SwitchResX to get the 5120x1440, except that now it gives me a green bar at the bottom if I choose a refresh rate over 60Hz. So 60Hz is fine, but if I pick 120Hz the green bar shows up. Any ideas? 5120x1440 at 60Hz: https://imgur.com/NoYU5E6 View: https://i.imgur.com/NoYU5E…

Installing apps on unofficially updated mac
by Guest /u/Peakus76- 0 replies
- 4 views
I've just updated my Macbook Air 2017 to Sonoma (which it can't officially run, I had to use OCLP) and it's so far working fine. My first question is, can I now download apps the normal way or do I have to side load them as well? If I download them the normal way will it discover it's running an 'incompatible' OS? My second question is it's telling me now that Sequoia is available - is it safe to go ahead and update? I'm guessing I'd have to ignore it anx use OCLP again if I did want to risk running Sequoia. TIA. submitted by /u/Peakus76 [link] [comments]

Water on bottom of Mac 2020 - HELP
by Guest /u/Sweaty-Percentage-34- 0 replies
- 5 views
My Mac 2020 laptop was on my bed and I was drinking water. I didn’t close the water properly and the water spilled on my duvet cover and eventually made its way to my laptop. The bottom of the laptop was a bit wet. I noticed not long ago and immediately took off its hard shell and tried to dry it off. I put it in rice and went to check on it an hour later and it turned on and keyboard etc works perfectly.. I powered it off and left it at an angle in the rice so it absorbs through the hot air exhaust through the hinges. What should I do? submitted by /u/Sweaty-Percentage-34 [link] [comments]
