I officially relinquish my apple fanboy card to the memory hole. I still appreciate the Unix-based macOS and the design elements of Apple hardware, but the price for a such locked down system isn't very accessible. I'm going to move on to a newer Thinkpad (replacing the keyboard and TN panel, and dual booting Arch) and eventually a nice desktop for my photo editing and multimedia consumption.
Anyone else losing faith in Apple?

Apple software is fine but the fact that you HAVE to buy the hardware to use it is bullshit. I love OSX but fuck Apple. Also MacOS was great when it started, it had a really good and promising start and even better when it started using clang. Around 2011-2012 is when it started going downhill.
I think 2007-2008 macbooks and software were the peak of Apple. After that it became worse and worse in many ways.
And I'm typing this from El Capitan on an old macbook.

in my local market the pricing is pretty much equivalent to lenovo hardware, but both apple and lenovo are more expensive than dell.

the lack of new Mac hardware is disturbing. ipad pros and ios 10 are not quite good enough to be a casual use replacement for something like a macbook.
Nah, they're just as good as ever. They're really taking technology where it needs to be going, despite all the freetards.

they dropped the ball with Yosemite but El Capitan is great. Sierra looks whatever, and I'm never going to use Siri.

Happens to every software.
