I use a Lenovo laptop only because my employer issues it to me (used to be IBM) but at home, it's Apple all the way. I have MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, a couple of iPads and an iPhone 11. Also a vintage 160GB iPod that I use as a music server on my stereo system.

I would seriously consider switching to Apple.

I would type the same thing. I went to Apple about 20 years ago. I was operating a professional photography, web site, and video editing business. Apple handles video and graphics better. They always have.

I used to have to restart my MS DOS computer two or three times a day—a five to ten minute process. That’s 10-15 minutes a day. 6 days a week. 52 weeks a year.

I calculated it as 75 hours a year, waiting for a reboot.

I charged $50 an hour for my work back then. I wasted $3,750 a year waiting for my computer to start, and restart.

Imagine going to work on January 1st, turning on your computer, and not being able to do any work on it until January 9th. That was my PC experience with HEAVY graphics use.

Buying a decent Mac, and macbook pro was a no brainer.

I DO use a PC for my ham radio stuff. I detest it. I feel like I am driving a Yugo.

Long story short, my last job used Lenovo laptops. They were better then the crap I used 20 years ago. (This was 3 years ago) But I will always be Apple in the home.
