Why did you buy a MacBook? (alien.top)

I’m just curious if it’s because there was a particular app or a workflow that motivated you to get a MacBook? Or just the Apple ecosystem?

Genuinely just curious.

Got a MacBook Air in 2011 due to the form and size factor. I had iPhones all along so entering the ecosystem more and more made it damn convenient.

Meanwhile I tried alternatives and have had an android phone for 2 years but ultimately went back to iPhones due to the software and convenience of use.

I’ve used MacBooks ever since 2011. Got my dad’s 2014 15” MacBook Pro that was great until this summer when it just began lagging due to heat issues. Even I had changed thermal paste and cleaned the fan grills etc. so finally I caved in and bought a 16GB M1 MacBook Air. And it’s totally great - not looking back!
