I wanted to build a Linux PC but there is no way in hell that I’m going to pay 500$ for a RAM kit but my old M1 MacBook is showing its age due to it having 8GB RAM.
Macs are great and fluid to use and I’m used to MacOS anyways. Plus no AI bullshit like Windows 11.
The deal is also pretty good and you can get a really powerful computer for a reasonable price. Like an M4 Air with way better baseline specs is cheaper than when I bought my m1 MacBook.
So should I give up on my Linux dream and get another Mac or should I wait for OpenAI to collapse? I’m afraid that Macs will also get a price bump next year due to the RAM situation.
There is also the option to get a similarly powerful Mac Mini for even cheaper. That is actually one of the most powerful PCs for it’s price. But I prefer portability with my work rig.
I will probably do that at some point. Maybe sooner is better than later. Who knows how much prices are gonna go up
