Nah, I didn't switch to mac then, I just started losing interest in hardware, building PCs etc, everything was very 'same same'. Big beige boxes that didn't really innovate so much, they just iterated. 

My first real mac I bought in like 2015 I think. Macbook Pro. Have mainly used macs since, although always some form of x86 something lying around, as well as rpis.

When computers started to become more about tools rather than objects of fun and tinkering. That's probably when I lost interest in the hardware.
