I used to as well. But the M series just blows away every laptop - every Pc - I’ve ever had in the last 30 years… at some point it is an ideological proposition

- csdvrx 3y agoMy position is everything but ideological: I will consider a Mac as soon as 1) the hardware offers an OLED touchscreen and internal LTE (everything else is secondary, with DDR5 I've even relaxed my requirements for actual ECC) 2) Linux can run as well as it does on my Thinkpad or Surface. Until then, I refuse to use a Mac, because I don't like the OS or the limited hardware choice.
- tracker1 3y agoI'm not big on touch myself. As for lte, usually just tether to my phone if needed, then I don't have to worry about after lte, etc.
- csdvrx 3y agoTo be fair, I enjoy the internal LTE/5G way more than the screen: with it, I don't have to carry a phone!

- D13Fd 3y agoPersonally I think those hardware limitations are pretty silly. IMO an OLED screen is irrelevant unless you are gaming or something, and touchscreens on laptops are of pretty limited utility. And an internal LTE model would be an expensive waste if you have an iPhone, because it pairs to your iPhone instantly. The Linux limitation is totally fair, although kind of irrelevant here (as it doesn't run well on the Qualcomm chips either).
