This Windows should never be copied by MacBooks

Beyond rivalries, the truth is that users have benefited from the inspirations of some brands with respect to others. Seeing Windows PCs bring positive elements of macOS is always positive, in the same way as the reverse. Now, there are certain things that should never be taken into account. Or at least that’s the opinion of a large number of MacBook users who view a characteristic element of Windows with horror.

And is that the vast majority of laptops with Microsoft’s operating system come with one or more stickers in its chassis in reference to the microprocessor that they mount and / or some key component such as the graphics or the version of the operating system. This is something that is also very characteristic of them and that, at least so far, we have not seen yet in Apple laptops.

This is what MacBooks with stickers would look like

The popular BasicAppleGuy’s Twitter account, recently published some very realistic images showing how Apple’s stickers would look on MacBooks. For this exemplification, the account has used the entire range of the company’s laptops, adding not only a common one regarding the fact that they are Mac, but also one regarding the chip they mount.

You only have to see the thread of this tweet to observe negative responses of the users. Although it is true that there are those who do not see it badly, since aesthetically it does not look ugly either, there is a large majority who emphasize how difficult it is to remove those stickers later. In fact, BasicAppleGuy’s own account published another photomontage that shows how these stickers would look when trying to remove them, leaving the hateful traces of glue on the aluminum of the MacBook.

And yes, this trace can be completely removed using certain liquids and not a single trace is left behind. However, those of us who have had a Windows laptop know well that it is not an easy task either and that we would directly prefer nothing to come.

A differentiating factor that Apple would hate

In the end, what manufacturers that include this type of stickers try to do is have some differential element that highlights the most striking thing about their equipment. Apple is not expected to make such a move because of its obsession with design and adding as few elements as possible the better. If they are also artificial as is the case with stickers, all the more reason.

In its day the company tried to differentiate itself with elements such as the now mythical illuminated apple, which has now given way to a normal and ordinary apple, although with a mirror effect. In view of how are the new MacBook Pro 2021, we can intuit that now the differential factor that they want to mark from Cupertino is the laptop silhouette with notch, something that certainly generates a lot of controversy. And it is that, while it is crying out to eliminate the notch of the iPhone, Apple arrives and adds it to the Macs. And no, this unlike the stickers, cannot be removed.
