My work got me an Macbook M3. After two weeks of dicking around with it, I went back to my Thinkpad.
I don’t get it at all. I thought at least the hardware would be great, but I hate the hardware too.
Too heavy, aluminum case feels fucking cold to the touch, screen still isn’t bright enough to work outside, keyboard has that fucked up layout. And although the M-series sets a nice trend, it currently cannot run GNU/Linux without lots of reverse engineering, so fuck that. My 2014 gen Thinkpad is a far better experience. I’m now even more convinced than ever that Apple is just a marketing cult.
I wish I had that choice, but my options right now are upgrade to an M3 now or wait until our stock runs out and get an M4. For now, I’ve decided to wait.
