What's the catch?

Mandatory gay sex and aids

soldered SSD and RAM

>>106832842 (OP)
Make sure it's enough RAM and storage for what you need.

Cool tablet, bro.

>What's the catch?

The memory and SSD are integrated into the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. It's why Apple recommends making sure you adjust for your needs at the time of purchase.

Will throttle faster than you expect

>>106832842 (OP)
not upgradeable, can't put a real os on it, and you're paying 800 bucks for a laptop when you should spend 300 at most.

>>106832842 (OP)
honestly wild that they are still selling whole ass computers with 256GB. At least it finally has the bare minimum ram

Sustained AI workloads will make it throttle obviously. Other than that I can run a ton of shit simultaneously and it barely gets warm despite not having a fan. Premium experience for Adobe shit and audio production like Logic Pro. I'm autistic and fan noise makes me rage so I really like mine.

>>106833365
what do you need more than 256gb for anon?

>>106832842 (OP)
No catch if all you need 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD.

>>106832842 (OP)
Soldered SSD and RAM.
Battery being taped to the chassis instead of using screws.

BBW hyper futa fempyro renders her obsolete

Lol my old pc from 2016 has 32gb of ram, but I get that these are the pc equivalent of a bicycle with training wheels

But still, an arm device for that price, lol iCucks exist to be milked for profit

I have a feeling satania would have something to say about this thread

soldered 256gb ssd.
300 dollars more if you want 512gb

steve job would be proud

>>106833818
ngl that's impressive, most chips crap out 5-10 degrees earlier. laptop cooling isn't going to get any better, so the next best thing is to make them endure hotter temperatures

>>106834162

lmao is this a joke?

>>106832842 (OP)
The SSD size. If you can live with that for the lifetime of the computer, it’s a great machine.

>>106832842 (OP)
They make money from all the storage upgrades, somehow they manage to convince normalfags they need 2tb ssds
>>106836420
>Can I just unsoldered the RAM & SSD?
Theoretically yes but practically no unless you have some experience and the proper equipment

why did aplel makes it hard to replace parts?
is Aplel anti consumer since forever or they think their consumer as cattle and brainlet?

>>106836491
>why did aplel makes it hard to replace parts?
Same reason you can't replace ram on your phone

im thinking about buying one because of the battery life and it not sounding like a jet engine

>>106836525
So true saaaar

It's a browsing device and you're paying 800 bucks Apple tax included
That thing can't game, can't do video editing, nothing heavy.
It's a glorified tablet with an attached keyboard

What happened if I store some questionable contents in my Macbook? Will Apple snitch to the cops?

>>106834079
It’s pushed back to 2026

Can I watch/read Loli in my macbook without the Feds or Apple watching me?

No catch, it just works.

Does Apple knows if I shitposting at 4chan using Tor?

No usecase.

>>106833826
But why would you want to compile the Linux kernel if you're using MacOS? You don't need Linux if you have a Macbook.

>>106833818
This is what the new M5's coming soon will fix.

>>106833826
usecase for compiling a server OS?

>256Gb SSD
And it'll cost you $200 to upgrade to 512Gb, but you can't do that with the discount model from the store, you have to buy direct from Apple so it's $999 not $799, so that's an additional $400 to get a piddly little 512Gb SSD.

>>106837237
But realistically 256gb is enough if you already have an Apple One 2tb subscription. It's all up in the clouds

>>106832842 (OP)
The keyboard is kinda ass (not very tactile, meh build, space key even wobbles) and the speaker rattles a bit at highest volume.
t.bought one last week.

>>106837237
Just buy an external ssd

painfully low ram and storage

256GB of storage is unusable

>>106833386
my .conan folder is 40GB, I have 200GB worth of local llms downloaded, 32GB worth of music, 400GB worth of steam games. Even 2TB feels tight these days.

>>106832889
At least it doesn’t scream bloody mary when playing games.

>>106839510
no instead it fries its self

>>106839253
>just buy an external ssd for your slim, portable laptop
You shouldn't have to.

>>106832870
Same as everywhere else these days.

Which laptops has the best keyboard?

>>106832842 (OP)
Supposedly they're used / refurbished devices that are sneakily sold as brand new.

brittle, overpriced toy computers with no i/o for virtue signalling troons.

>>106832842 (OP)
there's no catch. enjoy your new laptop. >>106840652
nah, they're new.

Can't play Touhou on it.

>16gb ram
Outlook machine, not even enough for excell

>>106839779
lmao no. you are confusing it with cpus.
almost no one solders ram, and nobody solders ssds, except apple.

>>106842846
if you want high speed ddr5 it's going to be soldered.

cpu thermally maxes out and downclocks after a few minutes of high intensity use.

>>106832842 (OP)
In 2 years you will have paid $400/yr for 16gb ram and 256gb storage. Pretty shitty, 2 years from now low end tablets will have that.
You need to buy something that will last into the future which means overpaying up front without knowing how much you'll need. That's why some people pay out the ass for 64gb ram thinking they'll need it in 5 years but end up not needing it. Likewise some buy 16gb of ram but find out it's not enough and have to sell for a loss and upgrade again.
You can't even follow trends because apple will make the next macos upgrade take more ram if they think it will incentivize you 16gb ram buyers to upgrade early. Apple owning your hardware and software gives you 0 power as the consumer.

>>106843759
How much more important is ram over the cpu improvements when it comes to apple laptops?

>>106843830
It depends on the usecase. Browsers eat up ram like crazy so 16gb won't go very far. I think Apple cpus are quite good but the lack of cooling means its gonna throttle to basically nothing pretty quick. In 2-3 years when a fucking webpage takes 10% cpu to run your base spec mac is gonna chug along and thermal throttle constantly.
Also lower end cpus limit how many external displays you can run. I think only pro and up cpus let you run three monitors including the internal display.
Their online mac builder tool also makes arbitrary limits on what ram you can pair with what cpu. You play their little pick and choose game until you realize your perfect mac is over double what you originally wanted to spend because you were forced to move up a tier to the pro lineup and only the 32 core gpu lets you have 32gb ram. It's fucking retarded.

>>106843830
Not very. Tahoe still runs great on 8GB. That m4 will get updates for 10 years

people swear by these things and they just werk (tm) but man it feels painful buying one + doing any upgrades to the ssd or ram before checkout.

>>106839510
Yeah, because it doesn't play games.

>>106843348
False again. My socketed DDR5 memory runs faster anything apple could ever make.

>>106844838
muh mac is for work not for gaming kids

>>106843987

Most annoying is storage cause it's already so cheap and easy to just put in 1 TB. It's definitely designed to bait you into getting upsold. And yet it's a pain in the ass to use a separate drive.

>>106832842 (OP)

>>106845597
Retard. Do some research. Just saying shit doesn't make it true.
