No magsafe.
5 years of updates is lower than macOS (I am on 7 on my MBP 2015).
The recent MBPs sport 5 nm ARM and MiniLED display.
Looks like they do a lot of things right though.
- thrtythreeforty 4y agoMagsafe is patented and will be for a while. Don't hold out too much hope.
- Beltalowda 4y agoLooks like it will expire in 2025, so not too long.
- dietr1ch 4y agoPatents are too damn long in tech. I wish USB-C had shorter magnetic connectors
- virtualritz 4y agoJust get some of these magnetic attachments for your USB-C [1]. I use them on all my USB gadgets now. [1] https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004883987830.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004883987830.html
- lhl 4y agoThe MBP is designed and manufactured by the richest company in the world. You'd expect their quality and polish to be better - and on the hardware side it is. On the flip side, the OS/software seems to get worse with each release, markup on storage and memory are absurd and you aren't able to upgrade or repair any components, and you trade any quality of life wins with ever-increasing anti-consumer lock-in/policies... So the trade-off is up to you.
- goosedragons 4y agoThat's 5 years of updates to the firmware. Not the OS. You configure it with something like Ubuntu LTS and you're good until 2032 with regards to OS security updates. And I wouldn't be surprised if the 32.04 LTS ran on it too whereas a comparable MBP will have been dropped by a couple years prior.
