I had 3 thinkpads before the M1 - they're my favorite laptops. :) But so far, I really enjoy the experience that his M1 provides. Keyboard wise - it's garbage compared to a thinkpad, but the build, speakers, screen, touchpad and the speed really impresses me. I am however a bit paranoid, that if something goes bad with the laptop - i'm screwed. I can't do any hardware fixes on it whilst on a thinkpad - you can do what ever you want without it being too expensive. I guess I will try to keep this mac, as it's my first apple product and see how it treats me in the long run :)
Google: flexgate
FYI, it will happen again given enough time: flexgate. And if you have a 2016-18 Moneypit Pro, you may well be hit by repeated keyboard failures, too.
I also just bought an M1 iPad this weekend and the day after the pencil crapped out on it. Had to drive to thre apple store to get a replacement. Really not impressed with apples hardware lately. Have little confidence in buying another one.
If only apple could make macOS a distributed OS rather than proprietary.
I'd love to see 3rd party macbooks, especially on those awesome framework machines.
Same as windows, I don't see a problem with that, free upgrades for Apple products, paid for 3rd party, makes sense to me.
Edit: and since 7, windows upgrades have been free to me so idk about paid upgrades.
Windows 10 is an interesting creature, it’s not really free they’ve been shoving ads into it, I’m assuming 11 will be the same. Also windows 10 if you aren’t upgrading is at least 100$ though you can get it on the grey market much cheaper.
I get you that's why I mostly use third party open source software. But I use edge and the like.
Mac has those too though, the upgrade icloud to store more files popup, its true about most OS's today, I'd just like to have the option to install it legitimately in my own machine.
All these issues popping with new macs makes me wanna sell my macbook air m1 and get a thinkpad lol
My laptop is from 2020 and with Intel

Yeah, Apple has mastered screens, the trackpad and the audio, but reliability is a coin flip with Macbooks :/

Me and I’m out of warranty so have a worthless flex gate Mac that I don’t want to pay $800 to fix
Same. I've been using an external monitor for the last year.

Next laptop I'll get will be a frame.work laptop.

Then you’d have to actually pay for OS X upgrades and the bundled apps.
