I’m looking for a new laptop for work and realised that all the programs I use also run on Mac OS. I can’t find a windows laptop (within the same price range) that is as thin/light, with such good battery life.
Only problem is that everytime I’ve had to use Mac OS on someone else’s computer, I’ve hated it.
If you’re looking for an M1, get an M1 Garand instead.
Macs don’t have a delete key. Theyre computers for people who don’t know how to use computers
Death to America
As in you can use it to delete the character to the right of the cursor, not the one to the left? I know Macs have a key labeled “delete” but it’s actually just a backspace key
Death to America
Delete is Two keys pressed at the same time and no we’re not going to tell you which ones. Perhaps around a campfire the elders of MacOS will reveal this ancient wisdom.
Apple products are for nerds that smell their own farts.
owning an apple MacBook will make you look like a liberal blowhard and I will silently disapprove of you from across the room
I run a Thinkpad with Linux for work. Not really thin or lightweight but I don’t care about that so I’m happy with it. Of course if your software is apple proprietary you’re just fucked then, that’s how they get you on their damn closed system bullshit.
My company got me a fairly premium Thinkpad and I worn it out after like a year of usage, there’s already battery problems and the touchpad is kinda fucked already. The build quality is not THAT bad since the laptop is still usable but honestly I’d expect much more for that kind of money.
I hate to say it but Apple really does have the best build quality. It’s probably also not perfect but it seems it’s the best, maybe Dell still has decent build quality haven’t checked in on them in a while, but yeah overall 99% of laptops are fucking garbage.
Definitely don’t buy the m1 air when it doesn’t even have magsafe and the m2 air comes out next month.
The hardware is solid (screen, keyboard, speakers, touchpad) but my god you can’t just run Linux on it and Asahi is not there yet.
The M2 is significantly more expensive though, and I anticipate the m1 will be good enough for me for the next 5 years.
