No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

    Basically, none.
    A display is only as good, as the OS running it. Otherwise you’re seeing random, usually oversaturated shizzle.

    macOS is still the only, properly color-managed OS. (Usually running P3 displays)

    If you have a windows laptop with a display that’s not sRGB, you’re in for some “fun”, if you’re doing any sort of creative or design work.

    Edit: I’m getting downvoted because “apple bad >:(”?

        Is this what you are talking about?

        Yes.
        BUT.

        Can you turn it on?

        New feature in Windows 11 2022.

        As available as “full-self-driving-next-year”. Planned for 23H2.

        You have to be a “Windows insider” run beta-test version of windows, and set it up via .bat from github.

        That being said, I am a “windows insider” and I do run their beta-test OS, and I still don’t have that feature.

        I’ll believe it’s released and tested, because the quality of my work directly depends on it.

        It’s also going to be available for 12th+ gen iGPUs only, which means that any laptop running a wider-gamut built-in-monitor with an older iGPU can get fucked.

        I appreciate the ‘gotcha’ tone.
