The one apple product I'm willing to buy.

I feel like other brands have closed the gap but there was a time where macbooks seemed like the only great laptop on the market.

IMO:

Early 2000 -> 2014 - MacBooks are great

2014 -> 2016 - MacBooks are decent

2016 -> Last Intel Models - MacBooks are bad

M1 -> Present - MacBooks are great

Currently using my 2011 MacBook Pro! It’s got 16GB of RAM and I’ve replaced the optical drive with a SSD, but it still browses the web and handles sorting and browsing and editing 80k photos!

I put Linux Mint on mine. It’s like a brand new laptop. Incredible hardware.

Ugh I would LOVE that, but I need OSX for iPhoto, it’s so amazing for organizing a million photos…
