I ordered a 16" M1 Max 64GB and am excited for it, but I'm sad that Apple dropped the touch bar. I do use it all the time, scrubbing through slides in Keynote, audio controls in Logic, hanging up a Facetime call...
Beautiful machine, but with 64GB it's about a $4K machine, and that's without adding any SSD upgrade, software, AppleCare or tax. Yikes.
It’s a high end computer with high end specs. Apple makes lower end computers that are cheaper. They’re not going for the bottom of the market, so you’ll always be able to find a cheaper PC. What’s the complaint? Options are good.
