      You just know that apple idiots will line up to get this.

      Soon, you’ll be having people leasing laptops and trading them in every year for the new model, perpetually paying a monthly fee to have the best and newest laptop from apple.

        It’s wild people don’t see the parrel to how 99% of Americans “buy” new phones…

        That’s 100% what Apple is going for, laptops the same as iphones.

          I have owned all my MacBooks for 5 years+, pretty sure it’s the windows users who buy new computers ever year because they buy garbage and Microsoft are encouraged to slow down computers over time

          I use a 5 year old Mac mini at work and it’s faster than the thread ripper pro they originally gave me for what I do

          Apple hate of this degree just smells like ignorance in this day and age

        I’d be more surprised if people weren’t already doing this. They do with iPhones when they lease and upgrade with their carrier.

    Lmao. So now I can use my rented services on my rented laptop! I can go get the laptop in my rented car, to go back home to my rented place… it really is going to be you’ll own nothing and like it.
