Something I have on me at all times Versus Drive to the bank, wait in line, talk to someone who misunderstands me, fill out a deposit/withdrawal slip, and also if it’s not 9AM - 5PM I just can’t do this at all.

Why does that matter? The point was that Apple has completely been uninterested in the bottom of the laptop market from 1976 to 2026, and there is therefore no irony in my statement that many businesses including Apple will purposefully ign

Looks pretty sluggish at 5:00, not that I'd even expect this class of system to handle that kind of video project all that well regardless of RAM pressure. 6:49 to 7:00 is how long Photoshop takes to go from the preview to the viewing

Be careful of the MacBook Neo reviews that have hit so early. Many of these reviewers are happy to sing praises of Apple for views, clicks, and early access to review units, etc. It is not a device that anyone has had on their desk able to

My main point isn’t about caring or not, the point is that 4GB RAM in a laptop/desktop is incredibly rare for how outdated it is. The PS4 came out in 2013 and has 8GB of RAM. In case you need help counting, that’s 13 years ago. And tha

My parents have 8GB and 16GB, respectively. The computer with 8GB is 6 years old and it was the base model at the time. $450 in 2015 would have bought you a Dell laptop with 6GB of upgradable memory: https://www.laptopmag.com&#x2

Didn’t Steve Jobs basically say Apple didn’t know how to make a good computer for $500 and used that as a justification to not sell any products to the lowest priced area of the market? Found it, it was from an earnings call: https:/&

Just seems like it’s a solution for a problem I don’t have. I have to learn a whole new language that’s only used for NixOS just to do things I already have no difficulty doing with existing tooling. I enthusiastically say, no, I’ve never u

Everything I've heard about NixOS...well, it sucks. Sorry. The ideas behind it are interesting. The reality of living with it, the benefits are basically minimal/none and you have to learn a whole big thing that isn't applica

That's dumb. You can hardly even buy a machine with 4GB of memory on sale, at any price. If you are making products that depend on people spending money on them, you generally don't have to care about broke people with 15 year old

While the impact of the MacBook Neo is huge, this type of review is really screaming of an inexperienced reviewer who can't actually make good purchase recommendations to average people. It's really cool that this device is cheap

The most recent Just Josh Tech podcast episode mentioned this: the longer this chassis has been around, the more PC manufacturers have started closing the gaps. I really like how that podcast talked about the MacBook Neo as well. Some very

That is not what I'm arguing. I am arguing that the base M5 chip-equipped MacBook Pros are heavy and thick laptops and have a lot of thermal headroom, while the M5 Pro and Max chips are being used in the same chassis. I think the MacBo

by dangus 7mo ago
The MacBook Pro is essentially a really conservative packaging choice for people who buy the plain M5 chip. They are buying the size/weight/thickness that's required to support the M5 Max, and Apple could probably even get an

Yeah, it’s like they wanted to follow the same Dynamic Island evolution and totally dropped the ball and forgot to do it. The way your menu bar icons can just disappear with no way to rectify it is horrendous.

At this point, the same old shell is a problem. The notch has aged poorly. Seeing the MacBook Neo launch without a notch has been interesting. A notch with facial recognition would have been maybe worth that use of space, but it’s just an

This will win my award for the lowest value post I’ve read for the month of March 2026. Unless someone would like to post something like “I prefer Twix over KitKat bars.”

If I was to try my hand at predicting the future, Liquid Glass is going to be heavily reworked for next year’s release. Apple seems very obviously and publicly aware that reception has been negative. I sold my Mac and moved to a Linux lapto

Again, stop focusing on framework alone and acknowledge that there are other PC brands. At no point in this entire thread was the subject supposed to be a discussion of one specific brand.

Maybe now all these 10x engineers with insufferable egos will chill out and clock in and out with proper corporate apathy like the rest of us.

Seems like you’re willfully ignoring the bulk of the content of my comment where I talk about other brands besides framework. You’re just here to bash on framework because you don’t like them. Fine, you don’t like framework, someone can get

Of course, accomplishments like the Apple I/II, Macintosh, Newton, iMac, iPod, and iPhone really had nothing to do with monopolistic advantages. All of these industry-changing products were built by a company that was nowhere close to

It’s easy for this style of journalism to get upset about “billions” but that’s just the reality of a country with over 300 million people. If each person in this country buys a product for $10 they’ve spent $3 billion. Now it’s a scary hea

Like it or not, they’re a Silicon Valley institution. They’ve affected technology more and stuck around longer than most everyone else. It’s like caring about Bell Labs if it still existed, or Kodak at its peak. Sure, they were part of big

That’s a very spec-focused way to think about something that has nothing to do with specs. This is a laptop being sold at half the price of the cheapest laptop Apple has ever sold save for some oddities like the eMate. Apple has never threa

Of course, $10,000 workstations for a corporation working on AI products might just be a necessary tool. Just a guess, but I think it’s entirely possible that Apple sold through the full production run that they intended for this generation

I’m sure we can find anecdotes of bad support experiences from any brand, including Apple. I’m sure Framework doesn’t have the best support out there but the great thing about the wider PC market is that they’re not the only option. I also
