Yeah, other than having to replace the thermal paste and the battery being on its deathbed (which is to be expected at this point) my MacBook Pro M1 Pro from 2021 handles everything I need it to and then some. Sure it'd be nice to have slightly faster compilation times for when I need to build a native node package but not 4k USD nice.
It sounds like you can replace the battery yourself for $130 or so or have an authorized service place for it for $250. Could be worth looking into it as the laptop might last long enough that the battery starts to swell on you and destroy a perfectly good laptop.
I've limited the charging on it in the meanwhile. I might be blessed with a new MacBook for work if I decide to stop doing contracting and go full-time in a bit so I've been holding off servicing it. Though I probably should anyways would be stupid to ruin a laptop that'll be usable for at least another 5-10 years.
You could probably sell it for more if it has a new battery, or whoever you gift it to will appreciate the battery
I’ve heard it, but they are apparently 10 years behind in terms of what they can produce, process-wise, so it’s unknown if they’ll have a significant impact on the market.
That’s what I heard too. But with the export restrictions and everything they’d still be limited to whatever they can scrape up that doesn’t violate the bans if they aren’t using homegrown tooling, which still puts them ten years behind the curve.
Not actually shockingly bad specs unlike the majority of current Apple products, at least if it lives up to prior incarnations.
Their phones are no different than their computers.Lads. I just pulled my old iphone SE out of a drawer to get a phone number and after a quick charge this thing is STILL going strong. No lag, screen is great and bright and everything just werks
I dont know what magic apple is making their phones out of but this is incredible.
CXMT is ramping up, but all that does is provide more capacity. As long as jewish finance capitalism is causing totally artificial demand financed by your pension plan, prices will not come down. Hell, even if someone Mangione'd Larry Ellison and Sam Altman, prices probably won't come down until the (Murican) AI crash.
Fucking retard.
Who is buying the memory, subhuman kike lover? Is it Chinks and Koreans locking up 40% of global RAM capacity in an attempt to build 'the Uber of AI'?
The RAM cartel was price-fixing and strangling supply to keep prices high for decades even before that, you fucking jewsperging retard.
So your defence of Sam Altman stealing from all of us is 'demand doesn't exist, it's solely a supply problem'? Strange, I guess they all just decided to conspire in exact concert with the AI bubble, those sneaky conniving chinks. Holy fuck you are one stupid fucking lying piece of shit, you aren't even bothering to try and pretend to be sentient.
Are ZE JOOOOOOZ in the room with you right now, you spastic monkeyfucker?
