A comment on Apple’s new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors. Parent comment
My personal desktop was about $4k for what's inside the case. Add in my $2k monitor, and I'm right up there.
Some people call it excessive, I do too. But man, my desktop is blazing fast and my gaming experience is top notch.
The $1000 5950x was the easiest decision. Cut my compile times by 80%.
If I was serious about a portable development and such machine that many people with MacBooks are, I could see dropping $6k.
I'm not, hence I have a $2k M1 MBA and remote into my gaming desktop for anything where speed matters.
