Sometimes I wish Apple hadn’t turned all of their notebook lines into MacBook Air variants. The unibody MBP line was amazing.

Typing this from a M2 Max Macbook Pro with 32GB, and honestly, this thing puts the "Pro" back in the MBP. It's insanely powerful, I rarely have to wait for it to compile code, transcode video, or run AI stuff. It also does all of that while sipping battery, it's not even breaking a sweat. Yes, it's pretty thin, but it's by no means underpowered. Apple really is onto something with their M* lineup.

But yeah, selling "Pro" laptops with 8GB in 2024 is very stupid.
