~~Are you rich?~~
Are you bad with money?
Just because you're bad with money does not mean you can afford an Apple product.
Just because you cant afford an apple product doesn't mean you won't buy one (on credit)
... Damn, good point...
Pay only 29.95/month! (for 100 months)
Worth every penny IMO, MacOS is super nice and so is the hardware.
(I don't have a mac, wish I did though).
Cue the apple hater replies, this will be fun.
Mac was fantastic in the '80s
Mac was great in the "90s
Mac was good in the '00s
Linux Mint was fantastic in the '10s
Ok but itβs the 20s and I want to run apps that are only on new chip MacOS computers and i donβt have one what do I do, saaave me linukz
ARM compatibility is still shit. All actually useful desktop apps are still primarily x86-64, the compatibility layer Rosetta is hit or miss, everything is proprietary and expensive, and Apple decided the Pro model should only have 8GB for a shit ton of money. Apple is overpriced trash in the '20s.
I think this is the first time I've seen someone refer to the 2020s as the 20s. I've kind of been waiting for it.
Putting all my legitimate Apple/MacOS concerns/arguments aside, how can you declare a product as "Worth every penny" when you yourself have not used it for an extensive period of time? Attempted to integrate it into your workflow?
