Buying a mac after complaining about how you can't replace ram seems a bit odd.

Feelings, not reason, probably applied there. At least it the logic was consistent in both cases.

It was a decision I was considering for months, the memory corruption just forced it. I didn't expect software to be this far behind. I was aware that the RAM and everything is even less upgradeable than a Stinkpad, but I am hoping this machine is more reliable overall and it will give me 5+ years of service. (My last Macbook Pro from 2010 was still kicking up until 2018, when I switched to the Stinkpad because keyboard.).

Yeah, I know. But the chip kicks butt :)

Software will catch up with the M1, I hope!

Can't wait for [Your least favourite Electron App] to use even more CPU cycles!
