Well I guess my next machine has to be a PC running linux now. Been waiting to replace my aging MBP with this latest gen, but this is the the last straw for me.

Well I guess my next machine has to be a PC running linux now. Been waiting to replace my aging MBP with this latest gen, but this is the the last straw for me. Charging such a premium and being too lazy (or thin-focused) that it can't meet it's base clock outside of a freezer is ridiculous.
I just wish I could run OSX in a VM. Linux as a primary desktop isn't quite there yet.
- abvdasker 8y agoI've been thinking the same for some time. Razer makes supposedly quite good premium laptops with some degree of linux compatibility. They also seem to have a community of enthusiasts behind them so I will likely try that or the Surface Pro.
- tpaschalis 8y agoYou could run an OSX VM in either Windows or Linux (I'm doing fullscreen Linux VM on Windows with a Thinkpad, and it's quite good/fast). Idk if there are issues with licensing, though. Also, give Linux as a primary desktop a try! What do you believe that's lacking, from your perspective? Granted, it's not great out of the box, and some software isn't available, but if you have a couple of weekends to spare/invest with tinkering, you can have a pretty and solid desktop workstation setup.
