> I swear, the blatant lies that come out of supposed Mac fans on HN is almost like Apple is astroturfing this forum with shill accounts.
How ironic. There is no “blatant lie” in “their hardwares aren’t comparable to MacBook” if you don’t know what aspects they are comparing, but there are in your comment.
I will clarify, at the same price, the MacBook is good at: display, instant performance and battery life, trackpad, webcam, sound and microphones, build quality.
My workload: web development, video call, running VM.
I basically could not find any laptop comaprable in those aspect AT THE SAME PRICE.
The hardware isn't identical to a Mac, but that's because of copyright.
You can absolutely compare various chips and laptops to a Mac and end up with a fair comparison.
Are you aware that “it’s not comparable to” / “it doesn’t compare to” doesn’t literally mean that it’s strictly impossible to attempt a comparison? It means that the comparison is not favourable.
I'm very aware of that. I own multiple Macs, and even though I like the hardware I can't bring myself to daily drive any of them.
Comparisons are very subjective, you've got to look at the big picture and not the solipsistic one if you're going to call other people blatant liars.

Lets not play the dumb games please. Its obvious that the poster mean that Apple hardware is better than the rest, which is simply not true.
It absolutely can be true depending on what you value. Let’s indeed not play dumb.
