Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up

Yes I know, but anyone that needs to do heavy graphics work hasn't been Apple's target market for a long time. That really started to show when they switched to only offering a discrete GPU on the most expensive 15inch MBP.

In general I feel that no one (for now) can touch Apple in the laptop market, although half of the reason is macOS working so damn well on MacBooks. But other companies have other markets on lockdown.. Windows is best for the desktop. Linux (or BSD) for servers. Android for phones.

And yet they were first to market with 5K, and although not exclusive, make a point of citing color management as a priority in displays and software.

That's for photographers and (static) graphical artists. I guess I should have clarified that by graphical workloads I primarily meant rendering.
