#2I have some oldschool hardcore Apple fanboys that did the same in the past couple of years.
Who could imagine, 5 to 10 years ago, that such trend would exist today?

#3I’m in the same boat. I have an old style Mac Pro. Maybe I can just install an SSD to speed things up, but it’s a slow dog now.
Buying a iMac that can’t be fixed really is a horror. This guys failed just after the warranty. There is no excuse for Apple making things like this.

#4There are many reasons to chose Mac or Windows. I would expect an article about why someone switched to be more nuanced than price.
I mean price is a valid reason too, but not very insightful.

#5People have written this article for 25 years. I think it’s surprising they keep doing it.

#6Just another run off the mill "I'm not getting another mac" complaint article.
1) Introduce myself by explaining how emotionally attached I was to the first Macs I bought
2) Complain about price
3) Complain about price some more
4) Did I mention price?
5) Windows has caught up to MacOS (which assumes Mac was ever ahead of Windows to begin with)
6) I'm an "x", and I do "y". I can do "y" just as well on Windows
7) Since I can "y" on Windows, let me bring up again how Macs are expensive and how I shouldn't have to drop that kinda of money for one

#7I use MacOS and Windows at home. I want to switch to Windows exclusively just so I can have more control over the hardware but using my windows machine for the occasional gaming gives me enough reasons not to want to switch completely. No standout problems, it's death by a thousand cuts.

Of price is the only reason, then it would make sense to build a Hackintosh. It is not a lot of work if you pick the parts correctly from the beginning.
Price is not the only factor for me, so I built a custom Linux desktop. It is much more ergonomic than a Mac for software development.

#9I've been on a linux desktop for several years now. I use a VM for any windows dev I have to do. I should have made the switch sooner. Consider that instead of windows.

Whoa there, I get called a 'fanboi' (you appear to have mis-spelled it) all the time, and it's because of my unwavering, steadfast, absolutely doesn't-matter-what-they-do loyalty to Apple. I mean, Tim Cook could murder my dog, I literally do not give a shit.
You can't go calling these weak fools who've switched fanboys. They give us fanbois a bad name!
