> my personal workstation remains a 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro
I was surprised that a guy who shills Apple for a living still uses a 5 year old MacBook. It goes to show how the longevity of laptops has increased over time. I'm also on a M1 Macbook and find it hard to justify an upgrade.
I used both my thinkpads for 8+ years, generating $$$ for me. Build quality matters a lot when it comes to longevity, thinkpads were great at it decades ago. I would expect the same from MacBooks nowadays (I also had an M1 Pro Max from a former employer).
I don't know... I used to upgrade MacBooks more frequently in the past even when they were functioning perfectly fine. There was usually a compelling reason like a markedly better screen, a big jump in performance, or noticeably improved battery life. Nowadays I have a hard time finding a compelling reason. Maybe I'm just getting old.
Someone didn’t read the “There is something rotten in Cupertino” article that caused Apple not only to not make an executive available for his post WWDC podcast for the first time in a decade or how he continuously criticizes Tim Cook kissing Trump’s ass.
He has also been a continuous critic of Apple’s App Store policies and its handling of regulators
