Sorry but near $1000 and near $600 are not even remotely comparable.

I got an HP EliteBook 840 G3 in 2017 for $565 with 24 GB of RAM and 512 GB storage. That was NEVER possible with any Apple laptop. Until now.

Or actually, it still isn’t now! The RAM and storage on this are absolutely abysmal for a 2026 laptop. PCs have already vastly eclipsed this bullshit.

As an Apple devotee that pays your annual tithe to your exclusive, elitist blue bubble cult, you’re welcome to crow about their smooth interface and nicer terminal and better privacy, but you will never, ever, ever beat PCs on price. Ever.

Apple is a monopoly. Monopolistic exploitation that maximizes profit by keeping prices high and sales low is literally introductory level macroeconomics. They have never made their products good value for money, and they never will.

Got a guide? I have pixel 8a.

Edit: Nvm I Ecosia’d it. Found lots of stuff.

Most depressing read ever, but thank you for posting. Truly Americans are capable of such brutality on those they have othered.

Yes.

I had to think about it for some time. Then I imagined arguing with a barking sea lion. :)

Y’all’d’ve guessed.

(Reddit has previously informed me that y’all’d’ve is the winner in these complex contractions.)

Loving this age of anti-Reddit malicious compliance creating content for Lemmy!

I’m so grateful for these story formatted posts!

Glad you had a supportive environment that stuck up for you. Makes all the difference at work.
