Date: July 5th, 2025 8:06 AM Author: swollen 180 property philosopher-king my last MacBook Pro was specced-out and lasted nearly 10 years. could've kept going longer if i didn't drop it too many times and bust the screen
i paid nearly $4k for my latest M2 MacBook Pro. i expect it to last me roughly 10 years as well. it's worth the premium IMO. also i'm low IQ |

i've looked into Android phones and tablets. some have crazy hardware that beats Apple by far, but Android ruins them |
|
Date: July 6th, 2025 10:01 AM Author: Confused Maroon Native Son Of Senegal I've always preferred android phones but for tablets it doesn't really come close; they've just never put much effort into making Android a good tablet OS, everything is basically scaled up phone apps. And the entry level ipad was only $300 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746371&forum_id=2#49075885) |

Date: July 6th, 2025 10:15 AM Author: swollen 180 property philosopher-king if you just need a phone to do basic things then Android is probably fine, but i use FaceTime all the time, and the app selection for Apple products is much better than what Android offers. also dat green text bubble (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746371&forum_id=2#49075903) |

Date: July 6th, 2025 10:02 AM Author: swollen 180 property philosopher-king i pay for quality and longevity. my last MacBook Pro was still going strong after nearly 10 years when the screen crapped out after i dropped it too many times. a MacBook Air will probably get laggy after a few years
i pay the "premium" for longevity for a couple of things, like some tech and footwear. i've had the same pair of Red Wing boots for over a decade (paid around $300), and they don't even need to be re-soled yet after that long. you save money in the long-run |

Date: July 6th, 2025 11:55 AM Author: Chrome station party of the first part It takes Apple programmers 10 years to produce an OS that can make full use of their silicon from 10 years ago. I have an iPad with a M1 processor, but it may as well have a Qualcomm Snapdragon because iOS is so gimped. In 10 years there should still be black market demand for M1 CPUs, someone just needs to hack the bootloader and give me a good soldering iron.
