I don’t own and use a lot of products I’d describe as beautiful, but this’ll be one. Apple may be pricey and snooty, but it makes beautiful products, and this is beautiful. Right out of the box, I fell in love with the form factor of it. The aforementioned factors plus the low weight and the extreme flexibility of the trackpad meant that it’d be perfect to lug around without worrying overmuch about plugging it in all the time and hauling out a mouse. I’d heard and read so many great things about this laptop - its power, its speed, its quiet operation, its battery life - that it sounded like it might be very worth the jump over to the dark side. Maybe it was slightly impulsive, but finances and Black Friday worked out and I purchased a Macbook Air M1. At first it was more academic, but after a while, the thought kept returning to me: I’ve never had a Mac, but why not if it’s not a main computer? And while that was going on, I’d also gone on a lengthy kick of reading through articles on Apple’s history and watching a whole lot of YouTube about the different Macs over the years. I talked it over with my wife and she agreed, so we kept the idea of a new laptop in mind. ![]() Maybe all of this doesn’t shout “need” to you, but as I said, the idea was growing on me. I wanted a nice laptop that I could use on the couch next to my wife or in the same room as my kids so that I was more physically accessible. And I’ve also gotten grumpy at how I tend to sequester myself in my home office (which is closed off from the rest of the house) to do work or web browsing while the family is milling about. ![]() Chaperoning your kids to various events, is what I’m saying. I’ve been finding that more and more, I’m going places that aren’t my office or home that give me opportunities to get some work done. You see, I was already entertaining the idea of getting a new laptop, something far more portable and usable on the fly than the one I have. I never really HATED Apple’s computers, they just weren’t for me and my needs as a frugal gamer. Yeah, if you’re one of those people who always say, “I’d never ever buy an Apple computer, it’s Windows PCs all the way for me,” then just know for pretty much all of my life, I’ve been the same. ![]()
