If somebody makes a laptop as energy efficient as an apple silicon macbook, while being more serviceable, running linux etc, I will gladly buy that one. I am definitely not staying in apple for Macos.
Go into any Bay Area coffee shop and you’ll see it’s filled to the brim with zoomer developers developing their apps and projects on a Mac. Doesnt matter at this point why or how but it’s more or less become the standard development platform for a lot of stuff, or at the very least the frontend for it.
I used to wonder why anybody who is not an iOS developer would buy a Mac. Now I just accept that some people make different choices than I would - just with most everything in life.
