Apple has lost me as a computer customer -- crappy keyboards, touchbar, increasingly locked down software, price.<p>I'm on a System 76 laptop, running Pop OS, and I'm very happy with it.
I'll wait until the second or maybe even third generation and go from the last year's 16" Pro to Air, but only if it runs Linux flawlessly (= at least as well as the 2015 Macbook).<p>Apple hardware is the best available, I tried Dell XPS, Lenovo Txxx and the Xs and HP Precision and all of these felt like I went 10 years back - today's models are still not comparable even to the 2015 Macbook (except for better CPU, but I throttle it for battery anyways).
I did. Cheapest Mac mini. I saw some benchmark claims that someone tweeted and it pissed me off enough to buy one to test it for myself. because I kind of do reviews I was able to justify it to myself. My opinions are mixed. there are a lot of things that this thing just flies through.
I've been running a Mid-2015 i7 16gb MBP with discrete gpu for the last $NUMBER years, I honestly am just waiting for Apple to release a 15/16in MBP with at least 64gb ram, no touchbar, and a touchscreen.
I'm waiting for the second gen here.. I've been burned too many times on first gen stuff. Also, since I rarely leave the home these days, I'm more interested in the Apple Silicon iMac.
Just bought a new Macbook Pro with Intel Processor on the day they announced the new machines (old computer broke).
I'm good for now and also gonna wait until the next generations come out
I'm interested to see the actual percentage of HN users that want to buy the M1.<p>This could help predicting how fast the adoption of ARM as a main development machine.
