My Intel 2016 MacBook Pro 15” just died… well, the screen did. Because I spilled coffee in it the first week of ownership and the screen got progressively worse since.  Poor thing. I’d abused it with heavy lifting every day of its life snd it served me well. Love that laptop. Touch Bar and all. The screen replacement cost at this point is too much to justify when it can go toward a new Mac that isn’t obsolete. 

I tried a base m1 iMac to tide me over, but it really wasnt up to the task with the creative suite work I do. Ran out of application memory constantly and beachballed too many times for me. 

So I borrow a work machine and wait for the M3 generation. My personal iMac 5k now donated and  in the hands of some junior designers who really needed it and they’re ecstatic since it’s the first computer they’ve used with actual horsepower - plus it looks amazing. But that leaves me out of a personal machine. 

Yet after dealing with base m1, I know even the m3 base won’t suit me. So I’ll be enduring the long wait for the m3 max MacBook Pro - or, God willing, the next big iMac. M1 Max Mac Studio is pretty great. But it’s not the same when it’s not yours. And it really doesn’t fill the spot my iMac did. 

Waiting…

This weird obssesion,this fetish with bigger and bigger cameras on phones, with truckloads of megapixels,just to take a pic of your cat,or a sloppy selfie, is getting out of hand already . 

The camera on the original iPhone SE was more than enough. But nooo,snob teenagers want moar ,moar!
