No idea what you mean. The M1 MacBook Air is the best machine Apple has produced for years and finally convinced me to update my old personal laptop. The battery life is insane despite the performance being better than any of the high end Windows laptop I have used for work during the past decade. Plus it was correctly priced at launch which is very rare for Apple which usually extremely overprices everything.
- brailsafe 3y agoYa I'm not sure where people are coming up with this extreme opinion. If they go to linux, maybe they're just trying to follow a path that's been restricted through layers of system protection or something. One of my only gripes with new macbook pros is just that the ram feels insultingly expensive, and to go past 32gb you have to upgrade the CPU (all in it's over $1000 to get there).
- gymbeaux 3y agoYeah it’s top-tier hardware, but the software limits it. My main issue has been with Docker, which has been discussed to death here on HN in various threads.
