Re: Apple Silicon vs Intel x86 for Voiceover users on Mac

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 09:28:04 -0700

I don’t use any Windows applications for which there isn’t a Mac OS equivalent. I have them installed in parallel, on separate machines, and I can use either. As to which it best, it depends on the application. For example, Microsoft Outlook for Mac is better than the Windows version in ways that matter to me – including the fact that the Mac version doesn’t crash very often, whereas the Windows version does. On the other hand, Microsoft Word is more accessible under Windows, but I’m a very occasional Microsoft Word user, and could probably substitute Pages easily for those few situations.

 

I read an article a while ago which claimed that most Mac users these days don’t need Windows for anything whatsoever. Apparently, survey results show overwhelmingly that most Mac users don’t install Windows. So it may be that the number of users who want to do this isn’t large enough for Apple or Microsoft to care about anymore. The signals from Microsoft indicate that they have no plan to license Windows 11 for ARM to run on Mac M1 hardware or its successors – they’ve officially described this as an “unsupported scenario”. The virtualization vendors may well find that there’s no Windows for ARM licensing option available for their customers on Mac.

When I purchased my M1 machine in June, I was informed that Boot Camp no longer existed and that was machines If it had, I probably would’ve installed windows on the same machine. Personally, at this point, I am OK with running a separate machine although I will say that I’m spending almost all of my time on the Mac side. If I had installed windows, I don’t think that would’ve been the case. So maybe it’s for the best. I think Apple would think so.

I like the fact that I get a clean install and a machin that has much better hardware. My only limitation is that if I ever get a newer Mac, I will either have to switch to the  365 or use a separate machine.

>> It’s absolutely right that Apple Silicon is the future and if you’re buying now, and want to have maximum future and feature support, that’s the way to go. I would not dismiss Intel Macs out of hand—they can do one thing Apple Silicon can’t, namely, run Microsoft Windows. They are available now and will be supported, and if you don’t plan for the future, they’re still a viable choice. FWIW, the only features I could use, but do without, and that are only available on Apple Silicon, are Touch ID unlock via a remote keyboard and the Siri voices with intelligence-enhanced emphasis However, that is today’s macOS; assuming I am not tempted to simply switch platform to continue using my Intel Mac, it might be a dead end for future features I desire later in upcoming macOS versions.
