Yeah significantly

Like base model AU$900 vs AU$1800 for the Air

MacOS is just… significantly less crap to use than windows at this point, and I wouldn’t bet that MYOB et al wants to work on Linux

Nor would I want to do customer support for a Linux machine

A thousand dollar MacBook is pretty great value for this use case

I think if I was going to suggest resources for oratory skills to someone looking to improve, I’d point people at @lordhardthrasher.bsky.social’s videos

His pacing, diction, timbre and general storytelling ability is consistently pretty bang on. Not too slow, not too monotonous.

Yeah I know :(

It’s a pity though, Odyssey was pretty fun but it killed any momentum for more AC for me, especially without the appeal of crawling around on classical era monuments lmao.

But if I knew how gay it was…

I’m not even sure it’s that popular with straight guys?

Unless they’re kinda in the kink scene maybe?

Everything else I can think of is lit erotica lol

Why the hell didn’t they market it with this?

Like for roughly the same price, yes it lacks RAM, and yes it isn’t windows.

But it’s just… better? I suspect anyway, we will see.

Not having to deal with Windows seems like an automatic improvement, for this kinda user.

iPad never quite fit the use case but like… this should?

Ooooh shit, the MacBook Neo is gonna kill an entire generation of small business laptops I think.

Like my mum manages a tiny bookstore. She had to upgrade the work laptop because Win11. Besides emails and browser-based order management, MYOB is the only thing it’s used for.

This kills that laptop

I don’t love how closed-source a lot of the ecosystem is - Apple’s low latency network stack that powers stuff like airdrop and sidecar are actually really cool! And not really getting to play with it is lame.

The App Store is also pretty lame - especially for games?

But what’s new there?

There’s plenty of stuff that I don’t love about Apple kit to be clear too. The default MacOS experience is a little lame. I still need to set up a proper window manager. I’ve bought a half dozen little tools to make minor QOL improvements to screenshots and shit.

But holy shit I just set up a new iPad, and all I had to do was scan a not-qr code from my phone

All my old iPad apps were on the new one, and even my discord session was still logged in?

Get fucked if you wanna use EntraID as an IDP though, you must use edge to sign in :)

Sometimes Apple products do weird shit too. The MDM on the work laptops disables iCloud, so while a lot of stuff still works fine with my personal account - random shit won’t, like my messages wont tell me who they’re from on the MacBook. Works fine on my unrestricted iPad tho.

I suspect they’re not miles better on Windows either - I think that the rest of windows is just noticibly bad enough that one more shit product feels at home

Rather than interactions and design language just not flowing properly.
Wanna drag and drop a file? Good luck babe.

I’ve been fairly hard-set on Mac’s for work for like 4 years now, after using Windows for years

And goddamn if the worst part of the Apple β€œecosystem” still isn’t any time you have to use a microslop tool.
Teams? Word? Outlook? All just terrible ports honestly.
