Is it just me or are performance laptops being killed by neglect between Apple and Microsoft?
Nobody seems to need them. Programmers seem to do all their heavy compute in the cloud, consumers do most things with phone/tablet, workers work with anything via browser apps.

But I think the bottleneck is an OS that's not an afterthought for a cloud company (Microsoft) or a mobile device company (Apple, Google), and not linux. The computing equivalent of a decent SUV I guess.

I was hating Windows by the time I quit it (2016) but 4 years in, I still really do not like MacOS and the frankenstein UX that's some random mix of iOS style elements, a linux shell, and legacy Mac UX that feel like they're from the 90s/00s.

I think when I say "performance laptop" I really am not talking about bleeding-edge hardware (though you need to get close) but simply thoughtful attention to people who might be doing graphics heavy creative work that can't be easily done over a network-latency cloud connection.

Yeah, I guess... I do want to run windows again now. Good options for some stuff I want to do lately (astrophotography stacking for eg) seems to only exist on windows. https://twitter.com/stefanoscalia/status/1322600628162502656 …
