I have never wanted any apple anything. The chassis styling is not my bag, the "innovations" they try to force on to the industry are even worse.
I do admit that many many people think that it was peak laptop and apple still makes basically the same laptop.
My daily driver is an asus g14. I can see framework getting popular and aftermarket chassis coming out that are more my preference.
I still won't spend an extra 35% for a laptop with swappable hardware, not when I can sell the whole thing into the used market for more than that 35% difference and get a whole new kit every 5 years.
15% premium and a full customization market? That's another question. Chicken and egg thing and I'm paying attention for my next actual replacement system.
Airlines make record profits every year, and are run on razor thin margins. The wildest thing is that the flights themselves are a loss leader for the insanely profitable travel points scam they've been running since the 60s.
Stop extracting 80% of the profits for the investment class from the tourism industry and paying the pilots triple their current wages would be simple.
Never believe a corporation when they complain about labor costs. It's always a lie
