This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Last year's tech for next year's prices.
?! Have you seen a M4 chip in action? Low energy, high performance. Silent computers, long battery life. Good value on a simple benchmark basis. Not credibly last year tech.
Pre-ARM Macs, sure, but that was five years ago.
Lots of other hardware issues to complain about, however.
That used to be true but no longer. For anything but gaming Apple's M series chips are amazing.
I'm a 30+ year Windows and Linux user and developer that preferred machines I could build myself. A few years ago switched jobs and was given an M1 Pro for work... it's incredible how good, fast and low power the M series are. I've used my laptop 8 hours straight without plugging it in. That's simply not doable with any other machine.
I still dislike their walled garden, and for high end gaming Apple's a no-go, but for most things it's hard to argue with how good they are. The machines may come at a premium, but they are high quality, work great and for battery use they don't have a rival.
For anything but high end gaming, my kids 8 year old Chromebook is awesome and can still run for hours without a battery charge. And it cost $250 new 8 years ago.
Tbf, I'm not in the market for a new device though. I'm happy you enjoy yours.
