| It looks like a perfect replacement for my 2011 MBP. I always figured I’d get a Chromebook when it croaked but this is a viable contender |

| A 2011 MBP is likely a better a general purpose PC, those early models had some great engineering. Wait for the reviews and benchmarks but the M1/M2 based MBPs are still great daily drivers. |

And even with a non-15-year-old battery, you'll be lucky to get half the battery life of Apple Silicon with a 2nd gen Core i5 CPU. | |
| ▲ | mushufasa 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | 2011 is 15 years ago -- MacOs will not support that device, so it is a real security risk to use online. This new offering seems comparable to the price of a refurbished M1/M2. |
