The Doctor@lauren Because the main difference is not needing the Jaws of Life to get one open to fix the keyboard? /hj
@drwho That certainly is an interesting aspect. Entire thing can be disassembled with screwdrivers and no adhesives to be found.
Allan Chow@lauren with some tape apparently get can even more stable performance!

@grumpasaurus I saw that earlier and it strikes me as a definite no go. Screwing around with the thermal management in these things is playing with fire (almost literally), and there's no reason to believe Apple did not optimize this to the best extent possible (without negative side effects) in the design itself.
John Morris@lauren I never though I’d see Apple sell a capable laptop at that price but what will really drive the sales is how Microsoft chased people away with their AI push.
@jmorris Yes, though keep in mind Apple has their own AI push too -- well, actually looks like theirs is actually going to be Google's.
