I switched employers and am using a PC now instead of a Mac and man, I hate it. I’d get 4 or 5 hours of battery life on my 15” Intel MacBook Pro, and get maybe 45 minutes while doing identical tasks. Even the MacBook literally running Parallels and Visual Studio on the MacBook could last for a few hours. Its absolutely insufferable, the laptop is barely useable unless it’s plugged in, and it has a GPU (but I’m not playing games and a 1080p screen. Why the hell is it using so much power? Is this just what it’s like for Windows laptops, and why?
And Don’t even get me started on how the Bluetooth audio stack constantly messes up and has problems, Slack will randomly tell me it can’t find my audio device. My Mac just never had these issues, aside from a few problems initially on running a dock that supported 3 4K monitors.
