I appreciate the stability and optimization that MacOS provides on Apple's MacBook systems. However, there are several drawbacks that can make using MacOS frustrating for me. In this article, I will strongly advocate my views on why MacOS and the MacBook fail to meet my expectations and should not be overrated in terms of their value to you.

MacOS has a locked-down, "take-it-or-leave-it" design, ensuring a consistent experience but limiting personalization. Unlike Windows or Linux, which allow extensive UI modifications, macOS only offers basic customization options. Changing the color of system folders or adjusting icons is nearly impossible, which can be frustrating for power users.

MacOS often lacks compatibility with non-Apple applications. If you need specialized software, you might find it's unavailable on MacOS, as developers typically prioritize Windows due to its larger market share. Virtualization exists as an option, but it serves more as a workaround than a true solution. This is one factor contributing to the lack of customization I mentioned earlier.

You are a gamer or interested in experiencing some Triple-A games? Unfortunately, MacOS may not be ideal for you. Apple's ecosystem lacks a solid gaming focus, resulting in a limited selection of titles. The absence of DirectX support, vital for many Windows games, means that even ported games often don't perform as well. Additionally, the Mac App Store offers an unimpressive range of games.

So if you are not pure-working and enjoy playing games after a hard working day, you can consider purchasing a laptop from any well-known brand such as Acer, Asus, and Lenovo, which are not only well-suited for both working and gaming but also are generally more affordable than a MacBook.

Indeed! I'd have to say that MacBook is delusional with pricing. From my perspective, brands like Dell, Acer, and Surface are not only the alternative options to save money if you're on a budget but also can still handle all your office tasks effectively.

One major drawback of MacOS is its requirement for Apple hardware. Although MacBooks and iMacs are beautiful, they are expensive. Users must buy a Mac to access MacOS, with no option to build a more affordable custom system like with PCs.

And who the heck said that 8GB of RAM on MacOS is the same as 16GB on a Laptop Windows?? Foolish!

For professionals in Windows-dominated industries, using MacOS can be challenging. Microsoft Office on Mac lacks some features of the Windows version, and MacOS users may miss out on tools available only on Windows, complicating collaboration with Windows-based colleagues or clients.

Apple's decision to use proprietary components limits user flexibility. Since RAM and storage are often soldered in, upgrading is either difficult or impossible, leaving you with a fixed configuration and few options for increased power later.

After three years, let's see if the person who said that 8GB Mac RAM is the same as 16GB Windows RAM could say that again :))
