Internet is not reliable. Pls, we are talking about PRO work.
> What do people need with 32 GB of RAM on a dev laptop?
Databases. I run Sql Server, PostgreSQL, MySql, Firebird. All at the same time? Yes.
Also, the thing about "Big Data" is need as much RAM as possible.

I could live with a iMac (what I have) or a MacPro (that I can't buy because the dolar in my country double in price!) but the main issue here is the signaling. Apple is like telling "We don't care anymore about you".
How will be trust the (maybe next?) upgrades to the rest of the line will be almost good now? And what about the next after this ones?
- rufius 10y agoRegarding internet - are you referring to cafe wifi or your own home internet connection? What exactly is insufficient about internet? I work from home 2-3 days a week so good internet is key - especially since my main machines need to be domain joined so RDP is ideal. Just trying to understand what your scenario is.
- mamcx 10y agoI work from home too. The internet is ok here. But is reliable? Not. Also, the internet somethings get slow just because, I need to reset the modem, or call to get it fixed (so the provider replace it with another (?)) and things work for weeks, until not again. Also the latency make some things slower.
- rufius 10y agoFull transparency - I work at a "Big Company" and I've got gigabit. So when I say internet is good, it's quite good. No latency issues and no hardware issues in the 1.5 years I've had it. Either way - fair enough. You don't like the reliability of your internet so the power of the machine locally is important.
