I think they are, and have been for many years, in a completely different league to all other laptops. - Much better battery life (both when you buy it, and how slowly it degrades) - Windows is just a mess. MacOS is way nicer, and has the a

*.id.au is an interesting domain that I haven’t seen before. Apparently you can get an id.au iff you’re an Australian citizen, and it must approximately match your real name.

Super cool. As someone who knows nothing about drones I would love to see a write up on how to do something like this. Where do you purchase that many drones cheaply, and how do you tell them to coordinate like that? How can you get the pos
