Apple switches from IBM to Intel chips in its machines.
As I commented on the BBC page, I think Apple may as well call it a day and save us the confusion because switching chips is not the point. THE issue is the mounting quality problems that its product lines have been presenting for consumers. I mean, logic board replacements, battery recalls, all within the last 2-3 years? I say something’s dying, not stinking in the state of Denmark. To illustrate; my current laptop & its innards have undergone many fixes and replacements while my trusty desktop (circa 1995) gives nary a problem. Alas, it is less portable and is no longer supported by Apple therefore cannot use newer operating systems or memory configurations.
Quality was one of the top differentiating factors of Apple products along with user friendliness. Guess what? PC/Windows operating systems have caught up significantly, are even getting less ugly, and Linux is steadily growing as the wonderful alternative for those who still want to “think different”. I’m honestly at a loss as to identifying one good reason why anyone should buy a mac instead.
