The bizarre role reversal of Apple and Microsoft
The thing is, hardware is important but software is arguably more important because it&#x27;s what you interact with every day (yes, you interact with the hardware too but not directly, besides the keyboard and touch pad). In that respect, I trust Apple more than either Microsoft or Google. I will not trust Google with any of my data unless it&#x27;s necessary and Microsoft isn&#x27;t so great in my eyes either due to their ad and data collection policies for the new Windows OS.<p>I think Macs are designed very well, even though I do question the decisions of the new MacBooks, and I would prefer to have a little bit more than 4 USB ports and thin laptop. I also really like Mac OS, even with it&#x27;s thorns, because its design is much better than whatever version of Linux I would use (not a big fan of Ubuntu&#x27;s Unity). Most likely, my next laptop purchase will be either a 2015 MacBook Pro or some nice non-Apple product with Ubuntu installed.
