I haven't posted about M1 Macbooks in a while. Feels like I have a whole new cohort of followers who haven't been lectured to.
Buy an M1 Macbook Air. It's like the end of history computer.
why can't I buy the same SoC standalone and do the rest of my build myself?
I wouldn't have a problem with this if their products weren't twice as expensive as the alternative given the same hardware
also the history with vendor lock-in, right to repair...
the twice as expensive thing I'm getting from pre-m1, hard to make the comparison until competitors start adopting the approach
also I'm not saying they should go to hell forever, but I definitely don't want to reward the practice with my cash
