It’s just hard to wrap my head around the fact that laptops, even top of the line newest tech, are twice the price they used to be like 10 years ago. I’m just gonna have to make what I have work until they break or I give up on tech and just go full time bird watcher.

    @cantankerous_cashew As long as the Touch Bar is not reintroduced, I’ll stick to my M2 as long as I can.

    I like new UI ideas like the Touch Bar, and I think it was one of the more interesting experiments in recent years.

    It had real potential, and apps like Final Cut Pro and Photoshop showed it. But it also had problems: no tactile feedback, no physical Esc key, and it only existed on some Macs, so developers couldn't count on it being there. Apple also added little to it after launch.

    That created a chicken-and-egg problem. Developers wouldn't invest in a feature that wasn't universal, and users had little reason to care when few apps used it well.

    Plenty of UI ideas fail this way. Good concepts need broad hardware support and strong first-party backing to catch on.

    Wait a minute… it maxes out at 32GB RAM?

    The M5 comes in 24, 48 or 64GB.

    The more powerful NPU and GPU isn’t going to be all that useful without the RAM to store the contexts.

    Hopefully the Max will still do 128GB?
