People keep saying to buy this thing all the time, seemingly unaware of the fact that every Apple product has an expiration date, when Apple arbitrarily decides that it’s “obsolete”. That 2020 MacBook has like 1 year of life left in it.
It’s not what I believe and it’s not what I’ve said. I was very clear about what my position and you’re just intentionally misrepresenting it. You’re being blocked now, goodbye.
This would eat MacBook Air’s lunch with 16GB (market-wise). They’re just intentionally kneecapping it again.
Yes because your comment was so witty…?
So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.
No we’re not. I’ve already addressed this, please scroll up.
Customers want thin, light, and good water resistance.
So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.
If your strategy is to repeat the same nonsense over and over without addressing my rebuttal then you can go ahead and stop replying to me.
Okay so there’s not even an option for increased RAM, huh? 🤣
I only see a $600 option. What’s the $700 option?
I really don’t think any of that is to blame, it’s always been that way. The blame it’s squarely on LLM search. People really do believe the nonsense these bullshit machines pump out. I have people sending them to me all the time. And I see creators using screencaps as sources as well. People are fuckin dumb.
I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Is it really “stable” though? There’s very limited info on this but what little there is seems to suggest it’s not ready.
Why isn’t that good enough?
Why isn’t people liking something they were swindled into paying way too much money for not good enough? Do you really have to ask that? Maybe you can ask the anti-trust regulators why they feel the need to protect people from themselves?
It’s absolutely about the average consumer
It’s absolutely not. It’s not about what the consumer wants at all. These companies didn’t remove them because customers wanted them removed. They removed so that they couldn’t use them anymore.
And how does that help the competing manufacturers who also removed their 3.5 jack?
Because they also made buckets of money removing them. Every fucking one of them removed the jack and then immediately introduced new Bluetooth headphones that were several hundred dollars. Even Fairphone went down this hole.
No one makes money selling $7 wired headphones.
Are you beginning to understand how things you don’t buy still affect you yet?
LMAO you actually bought into that 8GB = 16GB marketing nonsense
Seriously: yep.
A fancy processor is meaningless without RAM. It’s like a Lamborghini rolling on bicycle tires.
There’s no such thing as a “flawless” LLM
Power is meaningless without RAM. It’s like a Lamborghini rolling on bicycle tires.
It does. It’s not listed in the specs but there are teardown videos that show it. Austin Evans did one and showed this.
I mean that’s often going to be the case. That’s why you don’t compare used PCs to new ones.
Almost as ass as a an irreparable, unupgradeable $700 Macbook with a phone processor and 8GB of RAM.
True, but now you’re talking about used PCs.
At $500 it’s not a bad value. Could still do better on the used market.
