| Even better way to improve the quality of your computer sessions is "Just use Mac." Apple is so much ahead at the performance curve. |

| They have good performance, especially per watt, for a laptop. Certainly not ahead of the curve when considering server hardware. |

Server hardware is not very portable. Reserving a c7i.large is about $0.14/hour, this would equal the cost of an MBP M3 64GB in about two years. Apple have made a killer development machine, I say this as a person who does not like Apple and macOS. | |

| Funny thing we just talked about this in a thread 2 days ago. Comments like this leads me to dismiss anything coming from apple fan boys. It's not like objective benchmarks disproving these sort of statements don't exist. |
