    I bet they’re gonna have to do what car dealerships do… Yeah bring your old iPad for trade in!.. Okay I don’t see my trade in discount though…it’s right there! Look in the small font, it’s $5.56 we compared against Kelly’s cousin’s purple book of laptops.

    My aging windows tower and retired work laptop were both struggling to keep up with my photo and video editing. Linux asnt an option for Capture One and Davinci Resolve, and the writing was on the wall for what Windows is becoming.

    Combined with the failures in Intel Raptor/Alder lake CPUs, I took an unexpected leap into the realm of Apple silicon with an M4 Pro Mac Mini.

    Apple is not a perfect company, but this new machine processes video faster than anything I’ve ever used, and for the first time since the 2010s it has replaceable (proprietary) storage.

      Linux asnt an option for … Davinci Resolve

      Davinci Resolve has a Linux download button on their website. So it should be ok. Admittedly I haven’t used that specific program on Linux, so I can’t say for sure it’s ok or not.

      Yeah, Apple did a real good job with their processors in the last few years. Intel was holding them back hard. It’s amazing how much better the new systems are compared to just a few years ago.

    Micro$oft doesn’t understand that these full-screen new Win11 PCs are actually Linux ads!

      This whole Win 11 mess is what finally convinced me to switch. I still can’t get over that Settings hasn’t reached feature parity with Control Panel yet. Figured if I have to re-learn how to do settings for the 10th time, I might as well do it in an OS that isn’t shoving ads in my face.
