tbh if I switch to Mac which I am genuinely considering, my plan is to just get the maxed out CPU MacBook Pro and use it for both docked desktop and on-the-go laptop use

DragonsScales•11/7/23, 12:51 AM

apple really has done a good job with everything only problem with mac is I don’t know any key shortcuts

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

their hardware support is pretty good, they're good machines i just only want to buy one because of how locked down it is

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

i don't want to buy a desktop mac and a macbook

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

whereas i'm happy to do that with windows because upgrade paths exist without replacing the whole damn thing

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

it took me a solid moment to process that you didn't say that the only reason you wanted to buy a mac was because it is locked down

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

SAYING THIS THOUGH

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

every time i have upgraded recently

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:52 AM

i have replaced the whole damn thing

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:53 AM

bar the hard drives lmfao

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:53 AM

how long is your pc lifecycle? cause yeah after a certain amount of time it just makes sense to replace the whole thing

DragonsScales•11/7/23, 12:53 AM

1 year ;)

Lyris the Kitori•11/7/23, 12:53 AM

i keep a computer for 5-7 years

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:53 AM

i bought my previous build at the end of AM3+ and bought this one at the end of AM4

LLyris the Kitori i keep a computer for 5-7 years

Lyris the Kitori•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

thats my track record right now

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

LLyris the Kitori i keep a computer for 5-7 years

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

yeah same, its a good lifecycle imo

Lyris the Kitori•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

im just poor lmao

Maxine•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

im planning to upgrade from my ryzen 3200g to a 5600x

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

i was only able to buy this one because of a really generous donation during covid tbf, i was prepared to hold on for another year or so

Maxine•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

the most recent am4 chip

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:54 AM

get something thats almost too good for you now, then as it ages it will slowly get worse and at some point youll need to replace it

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:55 AM

but yeah given Apple tends to support Macs for 6-8 years (or longer in some cases), i'd be happy with that upgrade cycle

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:55 AM

i just don't want to do it for multiple items because of the apple tax

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

like mac has got to a point where basically everything is appealing to me now except for the business practices, which are the same old

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

but i can overlook that with enough concessions

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

~~not the price?~~

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

falls under business practices

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

lucky.

AAqua ~~not the price?~~

DragonsScales•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

they’re worth it, kind of

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

how so

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

thats an honest question

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

i see the appeal

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

after having used Apple Silicon on Silk.NET CI, those things are monsters

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:56 AM

but only for certain things

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

yeah true

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

wouldn't say worth it, but i'd say i'd be willing to pay desktop prices for it

AAqua how so

DragonsScales•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

heir integration with their other products for one

DragonsScales•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

Lyris the Kitori•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

apple silocon is great, if i get a mac im going to be dual booting macos and linux

Aqua•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

(macs are great for content creation for example, can't be beat)
but the intel ones for programming i saw no advantage over windows or linux
but the m1 ones for sure, multithreading beasts im preatty sure

Lyris the Kitori•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

linux for actual work, macos for testing

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

now combine my laptop and my PC into one device, and i can just about justify the pricetag

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:57 AM

as that's basically 2x PC budget in my head

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:58 AM

ridiculous that that's for one device

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:58 AM

but hey

PerkseyOP•11/7/23, 12:58 AM

won't matter by that point because i'll have a do-it-all machine

DragonsScales•11/7/23, 12:58 AM

lol true
