People do see a high quality build laptop as a status symbol or a piece of luxury. Not having keyboard flex or general creaks really makes a laptop more enjoyable to use.
I also am not a huge fan of the 256GB storage, but if someone doesn’t already know what ram is, they really won’t care and won’t notice much. I’m a tech guy. I bought an M1 air with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. I was able to do development and mobile development fine. I never encountered RAM related slowdowns. I have an iCloud subscription because I don’t want to manage my own NAS. This is a heavier use case than what, say, a normal college student will do with it, and it worked just fine for me. This is by far the best laptop I have seen in this bracket. If I was just heading to college today, and I didn’t have the money for a Pro or Air, I would 100% get this far before a windows laptop.
Pretty much all US news is just blindly stating “what’s happening” which lends credence to the current admins (seemingly) illegal/poor behavior. Just accept that the president can start a war, no notes.
Pretty much all US news is the exact opposite of a broad and bare presentation of the facts. It’s a narrow set of facts presented through either a partisan lens or a purely business context, the difference is in what base facts are chosen to work from and none of the news agencies do a good job presenting even most of the relevant facts on any issue.
Hence the nextjs app on vercel (bloated mess). Plain react or svelte is performant fun fact, it’s all the cruft added on top that makes it bloated and slow.
Fun name: seems like a reference to “Magit” both syntactically (being a portmanteau of “Magit” and “jujutsu”) and semantically (majutsu meaning “magic” in Japanese).
