From looking at recent posts on Apple products, there is a group of users who seem to be desperate to bash Apple rather than providing helpful information.
From a few recent posts:
- Apple silicon is an ASIC(Application-specific integrated circuit)
- Attacking the Mac mini for not coming with a keyboard or screen
- Saying macs are rip-offs or there are cheaper equivalent products and:
- Unable to provide a alternative
- Providing a budget laptop with a power hungry CPU, 45% NTSC screen dull screen, etc
- Attacks on price
Apple fanboys used to get a bad rap on the internet for eating up Apple's marketing. One area where this is common is users who think RAM is magic on Apple silicon.
Edit: Thanks for all the responses, negs, and provision of data for me to work with. No real surprises but some interesting discussion.
In hindsight, this post isn’t worded the best and possibly warrants a second topic on what exactly is a bargain.
The users i’m talking about are a small subset of users:
- Haters - spread negative misinformation/bashing product with no real basis
- Fanbois - spread positive misinformation
My interest is purely in trends and one which I feel has reversed.
I’m also enjoying the drama on the Peak Design backpack thread. I think some of the users there have better articulated what I hoped to achieve. Maybe there is a wider topic here on what exactly is a bargain.
