Have you used an intel mac vs even the entry level m1? It sure feels like an innovative difference.

(to be clear fuck apple and all anticompetitive monopolies, oligarchs, etc)

No, I haven't, I borrowed someone else's Apple a couple of years ago and the privacy, control they had really freaked me out. It was super complicated to turn off the cloud, I couldn't control the settings, it was disheartening. I have to say though, their software was why I borrowed it and why I understand why people love them. They know how to make the software smooth. I believe you that their new computer feels great. They always have a quality when you use them that has an indescribable niceness to them. I just wouldn't buy one unless I had to.

Fair. The software settings can be a headache, but in large part because they are so granular IMO.

I had a high end intel mac for a while for my job and swapping to the m1 pro for the same command went from >50sec to like 17. It was game changing. Where the intel had to spin up its fans as loud as jet engines and got unbearably hot and loud all the time, my m1 never so much as gets noticeably warm. It feels like magic.

I just wish they were a more ethical company.

Right? They soothe you with their nice software and usability, lol.
