I have a 2018 15" MBP with 32gb of RAM. So far, knock on wood, it is acting fine. I am going to buy AppleCare+ immediately now after reading these comments. I feel even more ripped off though. This doesn't include the $300 I had to spend on an OWC TB3 dock to be able to connect my other drives, wired ethernet, etc.
I bought this machine because my entire workflow has been Apple for 25 years and the thought of switching is overwhelming. I have tried to go "cold turkey" before and switch to Windows and I just can't get used to it. For a few things yes.
However, I am more determined to try and get out of Apple's grip. So, I am moving parts of my workflow to Virtual Box VM's and slowly adding more and more until I get comfortable, find solutions, etc. Hopefully by my next laptop purchase I can find a non-apple machine.
The touch-bar is pointless. I hate it and don't use it unless I have to. The keyboard still feels weird to me. I tend to use an external keyboard and mouse.
- some_account 8y agoWindows is by far the most annoying operating system out there. You want Linux. It's really easy to use these days and works pretty good. It's not perfect and you will have some trouble shooting but it's a lot better than sitting and waiting for Apple or Microsoft. You become totally dependant on them. No developer should ever be dependent like that.
