      Right. Buy products that is not only expensive to buy, but also expensive to repair. Pass…

        And you are forced to give up system control, and choice of software

          You will even have to give up compatible software because Apple deemed it “too old”

      Before I will even think about buying a Mac I will buy a Framework laptop and install debian.
      And I don’t even use Linux outside of a home server.

      far beyond the close competition in both quality and performance

      It’s true that Apple continues to be the king of build quality. And while they do currently hold the performance per watt crown, there are plenty of laptops that beat the M2 when it comes to raw performance, especially if you throw in a dGPU. And of course, none of this matters if the device doesn’t run the software you want, which is what I suspect most people on Lemmy have issue with.
