Well, not a fan, exactly, but I am forced to be fully engulfed in the apple ecosystem.

I don’t hate them more than Dell, Asus, Sony, or Microsoft. Not everything they make is a ripoff.

• the $10 A/D converter in the headphone adapters is a steal
• the mac mini with base config is a good deal
• the macbook air is worth the money and best in class
• ipad — no worthy competition for most users
• M-series chips and their energy consumption
• savvy users avoid all the upsell ripoffs like storage upgrades and displays and sock slings

apple is cool.

lemmy people aren't cool. they are practical.

practical people are the antithesis of cool people. cool people don't care about value or function.

hence why they pay $1000s for wear it once clothing.
