Similar iPads also come with a lot less ports, no physical keyboard, no aluminum clamshell protection, and a shittier OS.

But only run iPadOS, so they’re a glorified paperweight. Regardless, I’m never buying another mac unless I can run asahi linux on it. Apple has progressively destroyed MacOS for the last 15 years, and will continue to do so. Most of Apples software design decisions are anti-consumer and monopolistic, and should be straight up illegal. Apple owns your device; not you.

Counterpoint: Phone CPUs can rival yesterday’s desktops.

I’ve been running an M1 for years now. So tired of the argument that Mac is underpowered. No, it’s not a video editing/compiling/gaming powerhouse, but it more than makes up for it with an 8+ hour battery life, best-in-class display, and silent running, going on 5 years now. It still handles everything I throw at it just fine. If I need to bust out the compute power, Mac just isn’t the right rig for it. But that doesn’t make them useless.

It has comparable performance to laptop CPUs in its price bracket while being significantly more power efficient.
