Is apple an IQ tax?

It depends on whether you need Apple's software. The first thing you do after buying it is to change it into winning, which is the IQ tax.

I think the first thing to buy an Apple computer is a mature MACOS. If you are used to Windows, you may need a little study time at first, but it only takes a few days. After you master Apple's gesture operation, you will find that it is very easy to use and you can leave the mouse completely, which is one of the incomparable advantages of Windows notebooks. I bought a mouse at first, but later I found it more convenient to go out without a mouse, and the volume and weight were also reduced a little. Coupled with the closedness of MacOS, you don't have to worry about general virus problems, so you don't need all kinds of anti-virus software, there won't be a whole family bucket, and there are many strange pop-ups and advertisements, so the system is more concise and beautiful.

Users who own Apple mobile phones or even family buckets will find it very convenient to collaborate in the same ecosystem, such as car navigation, air transmission, and copying and pasting between different devices. However, other manufacturers have also started to follow this feature.

The second point is its industrial design. Not to mention its Logo belief bonus, the overall workmanship and details are in place, and the overall feel is very good. Even if several interfaces are plugged in and pulled out, the texture of the open cover is better than others.

I bought a medium-sized computer, and the price is really not superior to other computers with the same configuration, but I like its screen and some special software such as fcpx. I personally have the need to create pictures and videos, so I have higher requirements for the screen.

Of course, the Apple logo on the back is really easy to install, right? Ha ha ha ha.

If you are not sensitive to the budget, but have a high demand for workmanship, and the system must need a MacOS, then the MacBook is almost the only choice. Not everyone will hardcore a "black apple" after choosing a notebook. Except for the old MacBookAir, Apple's screen is superior to other notebooks in the same period in terms of color accuracy and color gamut. This is what many people just need. They don't even require high performance, but the screen must be good enough. Brand effect will inevitably bring benefits in certain circumstances. For example, a designer friend specially bought the lowest entry-level apple as a display machine. His reason is simple: "I know the performance is average, but customers like it." When showing it to others, using apples is more convincing. " You think he is an IQ tax? If you only hear people say that Apple is good and Apple has a B grid, then no matter what your own needs are, even if you have never used MacOS, even if many applications are only supported by Windows, even if you want to play games, you have to go to MacBook, which really smells like IQ tax.

In fact, it is a fact that existence is reasonable, but a product is not reasonable for everyone. As long as you don't blindly know what you spend money on, there is no IQ tax.

MacBookPro has a high cost performance in high-end ultra-thin business books, high-end ultrabooks and high-end creative design productivity books.

Especially MacBookPro 16, which is the best creative design productivity notebook, can be said to be none of them.

The "high-end" here is not "brand and appearance", of course, these are also very important. High-end ultrabooks need to meet users' requirements for performance, stability, workmanship, texture, battery life, weight, screen and color accuracy. If you think MacBookPro is expensive and low-priced, you may wish to consider what is "configuration" first, whether it is CPU model and graphics card model, or the overall encryption of a machine from shell material to memory delay and disk performance, from display color gamut brightness to specification and quantity of Lightning 3, from touchpad technology to overall performance that does not affect overall performance.

Windows notebook, if the display screen should meet the 16: 10, 100%P3 color gamut, color correction should be carried out at each brightness stage, and the brightness is always above 500 nits, which is fully supported by HDR. If the case is Full Metal Jacket, the thickness should be 1. The touchpad is larger than the mobile phone, and every area can be pressed with the same feeling without pressure. If the memory must have the highest frequency+the lowest delay+dual channels, the hard disk must also be top-notch. The battery life should be long enough and provide a perfect warranty. If Windows notebook is to meet these specifications, it is also the flagship product of major brands, with its own unique design style and the same price as MacBookPro.

Moreover, the CPU configuration of MacBookPro is not low, and it has always been a high-standard customized CPU, and TDP space is enough. 13-inch 28W low-voltage U has higher specifications than the public version of the same series products, and some models of PL2 Apple can even be radically set to 125W. 16 inch on I9, still lower? Is the low configuration of MacBookPro because the graphics card is not good = the game is not good = the logic of low configuration?
