As a recovering Apple user, the hardware really is very, very good.

I have an M2 MacBook Air that is, quite frankly, the fastest computer I've ever used. Running Window in a VM within it gave me the fastest Windows computer I've ever used. I've had it two years and still get all day out of the battery. It can export a two hour AIFF recording of my radio show from Reaper in around 10 seconds. In the two years I've had it there have been perhaps three occasions where I wished I'd opted for a Pro instead.

I also have an iPad mini which is a ridiculously useful little tablet, when used in conjunction with my MacBook.

However, over the past year I've been drawing further away from their ecosystem, to the point that I mostly only use the MacBook to present my radio show because it's fanless so doesn't cause any noise issues when my mic's open. And that's as a direct result of Apple being a trash company run by corporate fuckheads who would sooner capitulate to fascists than actually fucking stand for something.

So yeah, very few of us do actually support them.
