This isn't anything surprising. A handful of companies out there have been working hard for the past few years to kill the personal computer and turn it back into a dumb terminal that connects to a mainframe owned by them, and they've managed to do it. Nomenclature also matters - they've stopped calling them "computers", now they're just "devices".

Enjoy your $1500 dumb terminal. If you're still buying Apple products, then you're simply unforgivable.

"If you're still buying Apple products, then you're simply unforgivable."

What does this even mean? Are you unable to forgive me for buying an Apple product? Why exactly should that matter to me?

tbh I do see these macs as dumb terminals, what else are they?

These sweet dumb terminals can last 15 hours on a charge? nice, I'll just update the /etc/hosts when I get it.
