Wow I just spotted that the new price does NOT include the 96w power adapter! That's a new cheeky cost at £79 over in the UK. I really hate how they price things and hide their profit in sneaky ways now.

Only in the EU/UK
is there any particular reason why just here?
> MacBook Pro and the Environment LOL. is it repairable? probably not.
>unified memory This is just marketing speak. Stop repeating marketing. It isnt a walled garden, its a walled prison. Unified memory is just regular memory. There is nothing special about integrated GPUs.

It seems like you are now trying to walk back your own statement, and I find that facetious. There is no other way to read your original comment: you were saying that someone might choose a Mac over a PC because they prioritize screen brightness, more than 64GB of memory, or SSD over 2TB. I responded to that with ample evidence that PCs deliver all of that and more. Your response is to dismiss and insult my comment a…
> This is what Mac zealots do: they put blindfolds on and pretend like Mac hardware is above and beyond the laws of physics and PC laptops can’t possibly satisfy the same priorities that Macs do. And this is what people with some kind of irrational obsession with hating Apple do: they work themselves up into some kind of fever pitch because other people have different priorities and choose a different computer. Enjoy…
My portfolio appreciates you.
I love the following section of their copy: > Even More Value for Upgraders > The new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max mark a major leap for pro users. There’s never been a better time for customers to upgrade from a previous generation of MacBook Pro with Apple silicon or an Intel-based Mac. I read as "Whoops we made the M1 Macbook Pro too good, please upgrade!" I think I will get another 2-5 years…
Of all the stupid things Apple has said lately, this is the most obtuse, pro-market-insulting nonsense. Intel-based Macs were knee-deep in issues Apple wasn’t fixing, and then along came the snappy and always-cool M1.
That was the best time for customers to upgrade. The new Silicon generations can be quite good, but they’re not worlds ahead in anything.
I’ll upgrade my M1 when Apple releases a macOS worthy of being used by its pro customers.

Well, I just upgraded from Intel late last year. There are lots of users still on Intel :)

I'm still using the touch bar MBP. For doing web work using vs code, it works very well. You start having problems when an heavy compilation is required, e.g. Android / iOS builds
My 2020 M1 MBP just had its touch bar die a couple weeks ago :( Now I don't have function keys

> GNOME is great For a different opinion, please see https://woltman.com/gnome-bad/ GNOME is extremely opinionated.
> Some folks lament that its not as UI feature rich as KDE, but for me thats a bonus. Yep, I know it is opinionated and I really like a lot of their decisions. Most of what he says in that is "it doesn't clone Windows therefore it breaks my muscle memory". I don't care about your opinions and it isn't the same as mine. But the best part is that it's optional.
Strange, I've had the GNOME conversation with three people and all of them brought up that it's "optional." Strangely coincidental.
Can't wait to see the real numbers on https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark Especially comparing to M1 Max
But I think they are comparing the wrong values, as Xcode 26 seems to run the benchmark slower than Xcode 16
