Want to go Mac? Today? Forget it.

It was cool 10 years ago, but not today. Apple is turning into what M$ was back then: a control and patronize the users company. The main difference to Microsoft is, that Mac OS is a really good operating system.

I use Macs since 1995. Nowadays I hesitate to recommend a switch, although Mac OS is certainly better than Linux and, in my opinion, also Windows.

Apples notebook hardware was also superior for a long time. But today, look at Sony, Samsung, Lenovo. Not bad at all what you see there. And they still include optical drives :o).

M$

This right here disqualifies any legitimate point you might have made in your post.
