One last little 'f you for making us do this'
Whatever, still better than lightning.
they don't care because apple punishes the poors at every opportunity anyway. soldered on ram & ssd's on their laptops for fucks sake
Apple’s not the only one with soldered on components.
dunno why you're downvoted, you're completely correct.
BUT
Apple is the only one charging eye-watering prices for the privilege. Yeah, there is that lol.
Agreed on the cost.
Yeah I have a Thinkpad Carbon X1. It has soldered on RAM.
ugh... please don't support companies that do this. I'd never purchase a pc laptop that didn't allow ram or ssd upgrades. insanity! I SAY!
the dumbing down and enshittification will only proceed if people buy their products.
Apple blazed the trail though, really pushed the idea that saving a millimeter by going to glued/soldered on components is a good idea
Apple wasn’t the first to solder components onto the motherboard.
It's funny (or sad I guess) that the current generation of laptops are back on mag chargers (I forget what they're called) instead of USB C. There was never a time when both iPhones and MacBooks used USB C charging.
you can use either the magsafe or USB-C PD, both works
Sorry, should've clarified I meant the one that came with it in the box
The cable that comes in the box is MagSafe, but the power brick is usb-c
Sorry, should've clarified I meant the end of the cord that comes in the box that you're meant to plug into the laptop
I don't have one, but I thought the user could either do magsafe or a usb-c to a laptop, either way will charge.
