I'm out. Looking at the price hikes for the new M5 pro / max + the glass bs.. Now they're going for the race to the bottom with an 8GB RAM iPad with a keyboard? I ordered my Thinkpad X1 yesterday. Installing arch and #hyprland if I can wrap my head around it, otherwise just plasma.
Sure Macbooks still have the superior build quality and seamless hardware / software integration, but the scale has tipped for me. #apple #thinkpad
