Max LeibmanApple introduces $599 MacBook No.
elle mundy@maxleibman all of the book with none of the mac
@exchgr It definitely sounds like they did a lot of de-contenting to hit that price point. But the hands-on reports make it sound like it's still very Mackity. I don't know if Apple struck the right balance or if using it will be a nonstop parade of tiny papercuts.
(Spoiler alert: I will find out next Wednesday.)
@maxleibman 8GB of ram is just simply not enough for my use cases. on iPad? yeah sure. but not on mac. i’m starting to think about upgrading from my 2020 m1 macbook pro and i’m even wondering if i should break my 14 year streak of getting macs with 16GB of ram
@maxleibman that said, it’s wild to see macOS running on an a18 pro, even if it’s just for lightweight tasks
@exchgr I still have a daydream of Apple releasing their version of Microsoft's Continuum/Samsung's DeX, where you plug a Thunderbolt cable from an iPhone to a dock or a Studio Display and it becomes a Mac.
I can't imagine Apple actually doing that. But, then again, a year ago I couldn't imagine Apple releasing a new laptop under $600.

Some Guy's Thoughts@maxleibman @exchgr I’ve had the “plug the iPhone in and get a full desktop experience” dream for a long time, if Apple one day did that it would be an immediate purchase for me.
