#2I really want to order one of these but my recent experience with Apple has been utterly horrendous.
They delivered two Studio Displays I ordered five weeks late, with no apologies and absolutely no information.
But that’s nothing: for reasons that have never been adequately explained to me, their system tried to charge my credit card TWICE for the same order, and when my card issuer blocked the card for suspected fraudulent transactions, they announced that they weren’t going to ship my order if I didn’t provide money within three days and that my material would be sent to others. Also this resulted in me being stuck in Germany without a working credit card and not being able to pay my hotel.
It was an absolutely disaster, totally unacceptable. I’m never going to trust them again.

#3The review confirms pretty much exactly what I would have expected based on the M1 laptops.
Apple is going to have to do something soon to avoid having M3 reviews be nothing more substantive than "Still industry-leading, now available in colors A, B, C, and D"

My guess would be that as long as they are selling well, they don't care much about the fact that reviewers are bored.

The lower laptops will iterate on the current design and chips. Apple will release some crazy MacPro, release colors, and maybe FaceID or some feature. Then they will iterate for 5 years or so.

#7>though I would have liked a bit more than its 1 mm of key travel.
I believe the old 2014 MacBook had 1.3mm Key travel. There are zero reasons why we need to shave off 0.3mm just to get it thinner.

Had an airline do this to me.
Charged me repeatedly for the same flight. Didn’t know until I got to foreign destination with bank account overdrawn. Had a newborn baby with me. It didn’t go well.
Every time since I have at least 2 bank accounts, 3 credit cards, and lots of cash ready.

I absolutely love my M1 MBP, but it looks like a boring silver business laptop.
None of my kids are asking me to buy them one, even with "4" colors available. The "All-new design" is just a slightly thinner MBP case.

Did you ever risk taking the same airline again?
