MacBook Pro 2021 Review: Nearly Perfect Back-to-the-Future Laptops

I currently split my time on a 2018 Dell XPS, 2018 Dell Precision, and a 2015 MacBook Pro.

The return to form on these new MacBooks has been refreshing - however, due to a lack of modularity on storage I believe I'll refrain from upgrading. Of all components, storage is guaranteed to wear out over time, and in terms of longevity, I'd like to not be forced for purchasing essentially a whole computer to simply replace storage.

For others who don't find this necessary in decision making, then I'd recommend investigating what would happen in the case of data loss on your devices.

Seems like a rare backpedal by Apple, which I'm happy with. Also happy with them doing more for right-to-repair. It's very unbecoming of a 2T company to punish suppliers for leaking a chip.

Still, seems like the internal Apple culture still has a long way to go on addressing its customer base specifically for Mac - 2021 and I still can't get focus-follows-mouse-without-raise to work on MacOS, even if I'm willing to pay for it. For now, I'm just way more productive (and energy efficient) on KDE.
