    Lmao yessir Ima so poora can’t afford a machine that forces obsolescence every few years, made in a sweatshop, not allowed to repair, made a deal with ARM to kill off competition, walled garden designed, lobbies the governments, takes a picture of you every few seconds, preferred by the CCP machine.

    Oh gosh if only I could afford a new machine every 3 years from Apple but it costs approximately $70 per month oh no so expensive ohmagod how can we mere peasants?

    Listen dude you’re paying more to save a negligible amount on power, have a battery that lasts slightly longer than the competitors and much longer than anybody will ever need it to, and suffer much worse customer service. And you think its a status symbol or sign of wealth? You got scammed.

      Every 3 years? regular laptops maybe last that long, but I am pretty sure macs last a fair bit longer, I was still working on a 2015 model in 2020 without any issue, only reason I stopped is I had to give it back.

      I will be using this one for at least 5 years if not longer.

      have a battery that lasts slightly longer

      slightly doing a bit of heavy fucking lifting there, lmao. try 2x,3x,easily 5x in some cases.

      And you think its a status symbol or sign of wealth?

      I don’t, not sure where you got that from, I just think most people hating on it do so because they can’t afford it, which seems to be case a lot.

      You got scammed.

      Whatever you need to tell yourself, lol.
