  • Apple hardware had always been decent, but I don’t understand the point of macos. If you can work entirely in the browser, than why waste the money on apple? Just grab a chrome book.

    If your job requires software, macos is trash. Basic functions like window snapping are still missing. Gaming is non existent. Obscene memory requirements with nothing under 32gb usable for any real work.

    I’ve been daily driving Linux for decades and occasionally use Windows, but any time I’m forced to use macos I’m just really confused why people would do that to themselves and then pay 3x the price for decent hardware.




  • Sure, but you’re comparing apples to oranges. If you personally play older or not gpu intensive games at medium settings, then you can absolutely buy a gpu once every 7-10 years and not be affected by any scalpers. NES emulators are pretty cheap right now :-) You can also get an Intel GPU for under MSRP.

    Obviously a hyperbole, but PC gamers looking for latest and greatest were affected much worse than console gamers wanting the latest stuff.

    Just the crypto hype alone made it nearly impossible to get a decent gpu for years.
