the gap between #1 and #2 basically makes US #1000 or something

it always was. you people just gaslit yourselves into thinking it wasn't. intel macbooks were always pretty bad

[oldermacuser → foderking]

You obviously have never used a PowerPC based Mac... Or else you would know that the inter macs were a massive leap forward.

On: MacBook Air M4

- Lenovo Yoga 9 (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Yoga-Pro-9-16IMH9-lapto...). 3200x2000 display. Thickness 18.2 (M3 Pro 16.9). - Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-G16-2024-rev...). display 2560x1600. thickness 16.4 (thinner than M3) - Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2024 (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-G14-2024-rev...). 2880x1800. thickness 16.4 (again thinner)

all these are likely cheaper per GB RAM and per TB SSD

way too many macbook fanboys in the comments that don't know much about modern laptops

[Copernicron → foderking]

Conversely, there are way too many Apple haters who don't know or care why someone might make the choice to use a Macbook.

cool blog

On: macOS 15.2 breaks the ability to copy the OS to another drive

[foderking]

idk about the LLM part, but the rest of this is not true. there's multiple laptops that compete or even beat MacBooks in display, battery life, performance etc. and the MacBook displays have really slow response times

[hmottestad → foderking]

I guess we all have different requirements in a screen. I don't care so much about response time. For me it's more important that the screen can do 1000 nits continuously, support 120 hz and is close enough to 4K that I can't see the pixels.

Although I can't find a windows laptop that can beat the M4 Max in single threaded or multi threaded. Got any tips for any laptops that can compete with the M4 Max?

I’d be curious to see an example.

On: Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help elect Trump

[foderking]

it's safe to say it was a "masterful gambit"
