I agree, i also want to add that bad financial decisions are not professional (buying over-priced hardware) but i suppose you don't care if the salary is high soo

Except every single MacBook you can buy right now (directly, from Apple, not second hand) directly beats pretty much every other device in its price range - unless you go super crazy with the specs and want to do 128GB RAM with an M5 Max and 8TB storage.

So it's hardly overpriced.

I’ve been diehard anti-Apple for anything but their mobile devices (iPhone, ipad) for most of my life. Overpriced, underpowered. Now I own a MacBook Pro M4 and I just can’t get over how good it is. What a turnaround their change to Apple Silicone has made, it’s actually wild to me.

MacBooks, specifically, are still expensive but actually value for money now.

My experience was different: after using Linux for a decade, I had to use a company MacBook for a year, and I was happy to return to my "normal" laptop afterward. Even though it couldn’t run Deus Ex like MacBook.
