Talk me out of buying one of these before the 2026 tech price spike to daily drive for the next 5~10 years since pc building is dead.

>>107594074M1 or M2? Yes, because you can run Linux on them.>>107594199>PicrelIt's not bait, PC building is dead. RAM prices? AMD/Ngreedia don't care about consoomers (just wait for buggy gpu driver after buggy gpu driver written by AI) It's time to jump the ship, get a Steam Machine in 2026 or wait for AMD's APU's. And enjoy the superior Mesa driver.
Meh, it’s not a bad idea. Just compare what’s out there to a thinkpad or whatever. There’s no point in locking yourself into apple hardware. Even if you don’t care about upgrades at least you can do the repairs yourself. Eventually your hard drive will go or you’ll want to upgrade. The other thing is the OS itself is pretty lame. If you want to make iphone apps you got no choice. But for any other use case it’s mostly a shitty version of Linux. Just dual boot with windows if you want to game or use a half decent gaming linux distro. Even if you just want to program the windows linux subsystem is actually 100 times better than home brew installing junk. The build quality used to be better on Apple products but I don’t think that’s been true for a while.
>>107594074buy an AMD AI laptop and you will not want to rope yourself when your 2k macbook starts to rot from the shit covered hands that built it>>107594581>The other thing is the OS itself is pretty lame.mac and windows was always trash, always a psyop, and lead us to this shithole today. mac has one redeeming program: logic. as if you need it.
I'm also toying with the idea of picking up an m5 mbp, similarly specd thinkpads were around the same price. I'll probably wait and see how intel performs with panther lake before I decide.
