@clarfonthey though Apple stuff on the used market isn't quite the same, ppl usually price it way more than it's worth

@clarfonthey I mean that's how most ppl I know got their Thinkpads over the years, just grabbing older models in perfect shape

@clarfonthey I mean tech companies handing out work devices should be great for the used market, and these things should be plenty fast for a long time

@clarfonthey like, sure, it's not for everyone, you have to use macOS to make full use of the hardware and it's all in on USB-C, plus M2 and M3 still have those weird limitation on the number of supported screens but this really is a good computer

I don't think I could justify the cost for myself though, if I needed a proper laptop my 2015 MBP would probably still work fine with Linux… I've mostly been using the Steam Deck as a portable computer

@clarfonthey I got a M2 Pro MBP for work and it's as close to the perfect laptop as I've ever seen. It's light, fast, sips power, the screen is gorgeous and the speakers are impossibly good. They even put ports back and unfucked the keyboard

@clarfonthey their hardware has never been better

@pup_hime *pets softly*

@pup_hime yeah it looks awesome in person, we were always told not to touch the gold parts too much lmao

@pup_hime funny enough somewhere at my parents' there's an actual gold-plated playmobil figurine they were selling as some sort of anniversary thing

@pup_hime they definitely put lil metal pieces in there to make it sparkly though, which really helps imo

@pup_hime maybe the photo isn't ideal but I've seen gold playmobil parts that looked way better, and the Bridget figurine I just got in end of last year has pretty nice gold plastic too, though I'm not sure if they paint parts on that

@pup_hime idk why they don't make it metalic, does that only work with paint?
