This is amazing as having only vaguely followed the announcements I thought it’s was published today until the very end.
ps… 6 years for a laptop that… works very well to this day is why I have no qualms about the price of this thing.
Really the only thing that doesn't work well on it to this day is the dreaded Microsoft Teams, which brings the thing to a screeching halt.
Well, plus trying to do more than minimal VM/container use, to be honest.
One thing I strongly dislike about the i7 is how hot it can get with long compiles and such. So I think it's time to upgrade to the M1 Pro or Max.
Unless you're saying even a new M1 mac has just as much trouble running it!
Didn't bother to look into the cost of replacement as my initial research indicated that they'd want/need to replace the keyboard and upper chassis as well, so probably a $600+ repair. So I opted for a company laptop instead.
It's been a long wait to upgrade
