If anything breaks after the second year, well, I can either have it repaired or just get a newer Mac with the total cost of ownership of the old one being firmly below $50/month, which is laughably low for a tool that puts food on the table. If anything breaks in the first two years (which probably won't happen), I'll have the machine or the part replaced for free. I'm currently worrying about how I'm gonna express some business logic in my app, not about some imaginary "irreplaceable" battery or an SSD. You really need to understand that this is nothing but a strawman. > worrying about how long an irreplaceable battery or SSD will last and no constant battle with some corporation over who controls my computer

REMOVE QBSERVE FROM DOCK PRO
I can't help but suspect that the only reason we have an M1-based MBPBRUJUA is so Apple could tick off the "shipped an ARM-based laptop with a MacBook Pro nameplate in 2020" box. Personally, I'm not convinced the MBPBRUJUA is going to stay around past this product cycle it's always struck me as a laptop in sort of a weird middle space, too big to make people who really want an Air happy but not "pro" enough to make, well, actual pros happy, and the shift to Apple Silicon brings the Air and the MBPBRUJUA so close together the only material difference is the case design.

I would presume Apple knows this is a regression and plans to address it, at least when they update the four-port MBPs. The current M1-based MBP is direct replacement for that two-port model, and is now absolutely just a juiced-up Air there's very little that the M1 MBP does that the M1 Air doesn't.Īnd, yes, the Intel version of the MacBook Pro But Really Juiced-Up Air, or MBPBRUJUA for short, could run two external 4K displays or one external 5K display, while the M1 MBPBRUJUA can only run one external display (although for the ones and ones of you out there with 6K displays, good news!). Something that's been missed a lot, I think, is that the Intel-based 13" MacBook Pro actually came in two versions - a two-port one with a less-capable, low-power processor and a lot of limitations that made it more like a juiced-up Air, and a four-port one which was much more like the 15" MBP. I wouldn't want to have to set it up again, but now that I have, I don't want to use anything else to manage my packages. Nothing every breaks - installations/updates may fail, but they leave the previously working version in place so that everything works as if I hadn't tried to install/update in the first place.

REMOVE QBSERVE FROM DOCK INSTALL
Here are the steps I used last time I set it up, a year or two ago, to get a single-user install working: I use nix on my Mac, and it's dreamy, everything Just Works you should try it! (want this accessory to work? you gotta get the right adapter! oh that old adapter won't work, you gotta get a new one for 80$! oh sorry even with an adapter that old dock won't work anymore, you gotta get the right interface! usb-c vs thunderbolt vs firewire vs usb-c 4!) you have more money? pay for 512G version.Īnd in the dock's case - that's always been the case where apple will happily charge you more money to get certain accessories to work properly.
REMOVE QBSERVE FROM DOCK UPGRADE
need that money for rent? ok buy the 256G version instead that you can't upgrade because everything is soldered in.


Apple computers have been forcing people into a compromise for their entire history. I'm not sure which "Apple" you are talking about, but as far as my experience has been for the last 20 years of Apple computers, Apple is the king of forcing consumers to compromise.ĭo you want 256G ssd size or do you want the upgraded processor or memory size? Do you want 2 usb-c ports or 4 usb-c ports? do you want touchbar or no touchbar?Īpple has market segmentation and compromise down to a science.
