Macs are SLOWER than PCs. Here’s why.

Apple's got some great hardware, but lately there's been one major flaw that's held them back from making full use of it...

Buy an iMac

Buy a Mac Mini

Buy an Acer Desk Mini:

Buy the Gigabyte Aero 15

Linus: your iphones don't overheat, your macbook do. Get a better cooling solution for mackbooks.
Apple: *puts iphone chips into macbooks*

I've tried to explain thermal throttling to my bosses and coworkers when they thought it better to buy laptops instead of desktops for our work. We use CPU intensive engineering software. The general public - even somewhat tech savvy people - don't have a clue about thermal throttling. The see i7 on laptop specs and think same as desktop i7. The PC companies also push a misleading narrative.

How can you expect an apple product with decent cooling. The guy's name is literally Cook smh

[blackilluzionz]

M1 to intel “looks like you’ve got a fever, we’re going to have to isolate you”

[samlewis]

Apple Technicians: ok, now let’s look at the cooling. What cooler should we use?
Tim Cook: *o v e n*

"A slower CPU that doesn't throttle is not slower than a faster one that does."

Well put!!!

Everybody knows that a Macbook only works well in the gentrified air of a Starbucks coffeeshop.

Everyone: I cant wait to be able to afford a proper gaming PC
Linus: Proceeds to M E L T a $500 motherboard for b-roll

When 'le marketing' has been the answer for nearly 50 years.

I work selling cellphones and imo they don't tolerate it in their iPhones because from my anecdotal experience people expect computers to lag but have meltdowns the second their phone hiccups once.

I like Linus for the fact that he knows what he speaks. A real tech reviewer. It's just funny to see people following some other reviewer who just explains about the looks and feels of the products.

I bought a Macbook Pro just to have the most expensive barbecue grill in the neighborhood.

This winter I'm dumping all my room heaters and replacing it with the Macs. A heater that can play audio and internet must be a well worth.

[frighteningspoon]

Gonna be waiting for that Tim Apple Interview video now, Linus

[PCStPierre]

I worked at Apple for three years. I met maybe three people that actually gave a shit about performance. They cared about the aesthetics, stability and simplicity.

Came for the clickbait title, stayed for a well-reasoned argument.

"I buy mac cause it's so good for creative work"

Me: *Laughs in rendering time*

This was some of the best written content in years on this channel. Very good technical analysis!

[ergosteur]

Watching this in 4K on my MacBook Pro made it thermal throttle lol.
