That, and it generally runs far cooler and quieter than earlier x86 MBPs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 years ago* Microsoft's Windows 11 malware/spyware likely has something to do with it too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kiddblur@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago Yeah, I was opposed to buying a Mac for ages because I could never justify $1000 on a Laptop, so I bought $600-800 laptops ever 3-4 years.
