I'm probably the target market on both ends. I've mostly worked off a MBP over the last 15 years, though currently coding on a Surface Book for compatibility reasons and generally avoid walled ecosystems as it feels unhealthy.
My personal laptop is an i7 11" MBA that works fine but is in dire need of a refresh. I've been eyeing a 16gb MBA; but have been hesitating as I really like the 11" form factor and things like Framework look really tempting. Now; Snapdragon is looking tempting.
I'll probably buy something this summer, glad to have options. That Yogi looks interesting.
- gigatexal 2y agoif you can stomach it the apple silicon macbook airs are really really nice. I do wish they'd bring back a 11 or 12 inch option but actually I super enjoyed the extra screen real estate of the 15 macbook air I just liked the macbook pro keyboard so much more I spent 2.5x or more on a macbook pro lol
- w0m 2y agoI am seriously tempted. I've been back to my apt roots lately so I'm somewhat dreading the mess that is homebrew. I assume things are better now, it has been ~3 years.
- gigatexal 2y agoI mean it’s not nix but it’s been fine for me. I’ve a typical setup. Python Java etc. I install things via brew and don’t look back. Pyenv for version mgmt. Nixpkgs might be a better alternative if you’re really looking for multi version for everything.
