Will be fun watching all Apps stop working and most devs won't care to update them for the tiny market share of users that Macs have.
On the other hand, there’s a chance your keyboard will still work in a year if you get the windows machine.
**** the butterfly keyboard.
They were willing to write the apps in the first place for that tiny market share.

That means its ubiquitous, not popular.
Popular:
1.
liked, admired, or enjoyed by many people or by a particular person or group.
"she was one of the most popular girls in the school"
Unless they were writing in assembly language they likely didn’t care a bout what CPU was in the box, and only cared about how many people might buy their app.
2.
Many people enjoy Windows
"Gamers love to use Windows"
"Hollywood loves to use Windows to edit films"

“Millions of office workers love to not get fired so they use the machines that their bosses tells hem to use.”
It’s funny how when companies like IBM finally gave their employees a choice, they overwhelmingly choose Macs.
I'm sad to report you that 32 bit apps aren't working since Mojave and that most devs won't care to update them, and guess what they're important Apps. Imagine with ARM.
Avoid any windows laptop that doesn't support Microsoft's "Precision Touchpad"
everything else is a mess. MacOS still handles trackpads better, but windows with Precision touchpad have closed the gap and helped get rid of a lot of that lag, which is absolutely a real thing, especially if you require using synaptics touchpad drivers.
Most people tolerate Windows2.

"Gamers love to use Windows"
"Hollywood loves to use Windows to edit films"
"I like the way Windows generates multiple gigabyte crash dumps"
"Oh look, ShellExperienceHost crashed again"
"Too bad I don't have anti-virus, now my hard drive has been compromised"
Windows is trash. it's a complete liability to a machine.
"Millions of employees couldn't care less about the computer they use but the paycheck to pay their bills in the end of the month, oh and buy food"
Not gonna argue anymore with you. No point.
Now that’s just unsupported by facts. “Most apps?” Really? You’ve done a study and counted? My macs seem to be running a couple or three dozen 64-bit apps, most of which we were using back in the 32-bit days as well. They were all updated.
Are we talking about Windows Vista? It's 2019
"Windows doesn't crash less than macOS"
But you are agreeing with me. They use what they are told to use, not because they particularly like it. Hence not “popular.”
Almost all my VST's stopped working and they run on 32 bit so I rely on El Capitan. Carry on...

It's popular because it's used, you can't compare a physical human being with an object.
Sources? Better update your Mac there might be an hidden root hole you don't know.
Did you reboot your computer today? After all, it's patch Tuesday. Windows can't make it a week without some major vulnerability or some other embarrassing screw up from happening.Sources? Better update your Mac there might be an hidden root hole you don't know.
Windows is trash. The sooner you learn, the better off you'll be.
pcie based is poor? last time i check my samsung 970 pro is pcie 4x and that thing smokes any apple ssd
[doublepost=1551242084][/doublepost]
ur giving apple too much credit here, there are alot of ssd out there that can manage 2.1 gbytes/sec easily, microsoft or razor might be slow not because its pcie base but could be because they are using sata ACHI and not nvme.
again what apple doing is nothing special, in fact the only reason why they custom designed their own controller and not using m.2 so ppl have to buy from them instead of slapping a samsung 970 and save money

Popular because you can buy a brand new Windows machine for $300. Corporate IT departments dig that because laptops are viewed as an expense to be minimized, not as an investment in employee productivity.
