after using this #macbook for about a day i can say that it is a really good machine. the battery life lasts for ages, only going down 30% in 5 hours in not insignificant use.

the speakers are incredible for a laptop, especially compared to my lenovo legion laptop.

i am enjoying the unix stuff in the terminal quite a lot. LaTeX works flawlessly and i was even able to install #acme from #plan9

for a machine that is due to last me over the next few years, i think i made the right choice.

of course there are bits that i do not like. i despise the fact that ai is incorporated, although i will give credit to the fact that i have not seen any after i disabled it. i am concerned about the privacy of the os, but anything is better than windows.
