Looking at the number of articles which compare m3 macbooks against "intel" but mean "the intel macbook from years ago", I totally expect to read lots of articles which pretend non-apple devices don't exist.



In some ways that’s understandable and can be very helpful. Because if you’re a Mac person looking to buy a new Mac then that may be what you have. Newer Intel Macs don’t exist.

If you’re a PC user looking to switch to Mac, or you’re looking for a machine and don’t care about which operating system it has, then it’s less useful.


Given that those Intel laptops run Windows, which today is worse than any old version of MacOS, can you blame them?


I hate windows as much as the herd, but OS choice isn't always as clean as "better or worse".

I need to run Windows in some form for various industry specific needs that a VM or emulation simply cannot meet at the moment. I don't like it, but that isn't going to change the state of things.

It's a delight to be able to choose what and where you work with, but it's not the reality a lot of us have to deal with.


Worse for what, though?

If you do a lot of gaming, for example, macOS is in many ways worse than Linux even.
