That’s me.
A M3 Max covers everything I need (work, EMR, imaging) and has enough grunt for some games.
But I still need to lug around a Windows gaming laptop to, well, play the games.
Right now I carry a 4070 X16 and IPad Pro. Both environments covered. Minimal bulk.
I’d like Apple to take shit more seriously and at a serious price point.
Why is your consumerism so strong that you needed to replace the M1 so soon?
M1 is still overkill for a majority of users. You guys aren’t hardcore developers or engineers. M3 obviously isn’t for you, in any aspect.
It’s actually insane that people are upset the “upgrades are underwhelming” as if there’s some law that they NEED to buy something new every single bloody year.
Apple sends devices back to repair depots. They don’t do component level repair at stores anymore.
It is much easier to give a new/refurb device on the spot and then have their depot repair and put that item back into circulation that way.
People here actually think Apple yeets their intake into the trash from every Apple Store are smoking something I’d like to partake in.
