I speak like a good Linuxero that I am and I have a Macbook Pro. From my point of view, the only justification for buying a Macbook is the bragging about having a MacFor this reason, despite many tests that are taken, they will always have loyal customers. I wonder how much Apple would sell if it didn't cost so dearly. They take a computer with hardware valued at 500 euros, put the apple logo on it, create their own operating system and sell the computer for 1500 euros and people buy it because they associate the high price with the quality. With the issue of the brand I mean that Apple continues to use the prestige pricing business strategy, which is working for him. The most curious thing about this is that the Macbook Air are computers that have been created exclusively to work with Mac OS X, that is, in theory they are computers for which and Apple's system should be highly optimized and run much better than any operating system.Īpple has been somewhat portrayed in this test, since it has been found that its operating system is not as good as it seems, losing even in tests with their own computersIt seems that Apple is no longer the leading and leading company that it was and that now exclusively lives off its brand. If you want to see the study in more depth, you have here. The Phoronix test results are pretty clear, all Linux operating systems, they have better performance than the Mac OS El Capitan in most respects. The Macbook Air they have used has a processor Intel Core i5 4250 U, 4GB Ram and an official Apple 120GB SSD hard drive.

The chosen systems were: Ubuntu 15.10, Fedora 23 and Antegros in the factory configuration. The folks at Phoronix have picked up a Macbook Air and been doing a few experiments regarding performance of this team, taking the operating system Mac OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan and comparing it with some operating systems with Linux Kernel. It seems that Linux has once again proven to have the best operating systems in the world.
