Fighting against right to repair, mandatorily binding components with firmware to the specific device without allowing thirdparties to do so, trying really hard to be as anti-environmentally friendly as possible, being a “buy, buy, buy new!” cult?

Right to repair i agree fuck them. there is apple care + but yeah..

Hypocritical as well. Preaching environment friendly nonsense while only maximising profits.

They literally started deprecating the old ipads with explicitely withheld features and same for Intel macs.

Apple Care+ is quite far from Right to Repair. The self repair program they have introduced is also nothing but an insult to RTR.

Yes agreed guys totally fucking agree. But this machine is a beast and has made me 10 times more productive

My old thinkpad X230 and Note 4 lasted ~7 years each, including still getting (community) software updates.

Bro you know how long macs last) cmon

Then your previous cpu must’ve been 1/10th as fast which probably means it was 5+ years old

My thinkpad lasts me 10 hours and a single powerbank gives me 2 full charges at a very decent backpack weight

Wolfshappen 2022-08-09 14:58:49
While being faster and cooler than an M1 😛
Wolfshappen 2022-08-09 14:59:15
Oh and running linux and not having to deal with stupid “no vulkan, old-ass opengl” BS from apple.
Fibonakki 2022-08-09 14:59:32
Bro i literally have one of the most powerful thinkpads from work
Fibonakki 2022-08-09 14:59:41
And it’s 2 months old pls mate

I dont because “most powerful” means they usually have a thicc, powerhungry dgpu

Wolfshappen 2022-08-09 15:00:03
While i much prefer a dgpu-less U series cpu in there.

You do realise that everyone has different criteria for what constitutes a good machine.

Why do ppl never mention MacOs on these kinds of forums. I have switched from Windows to Mac 2 weeks ago and it’s awesome. Hardware matters too

its actually illegal i think

It’s a grey area.

apple only allows macos to be on macs

You know, valuing to be in full control, being able to run linux and having a decent, still long-lasting machine (>10h workday? Quit and reapply :P) with easily 2 more charges carryable with a single powerbank in your backpack should be more than good enough.

Wolfshappen 2022-08-09 15:02:19
Plus none of the Mac bullshit, no lockdowns, no “not on your platform”, no “no vulkan”, no “cant emulate properly on this, sorry”, no propreitary software underpinning your entire OS.

For desktops, Apple is nowhere close to a reasonable option.

For laptops, cheaper / quieter / more powerful machines exist depending on your needs.

If you only need high battery life then idk, have fun with the locked down toy.

And no hard push into also going iphone, watch and co over the much less well integrated androids on there.
