> Why would anyone (who is not forced) buy an Intel PC laptop when these are available and priced as competitive as they are?
as a power user I will not be touching anything apple ARM until all my hundreds of software apps are certified to work exactly the same as on x86_64. i will not rely on rosetta to take care of this. i need actual testing.
besides this, 8GB of RAM is how much a single instance of chrome uses. i run 3 chrome instances, 2 firefox and 2 safari. and this is just for web.
this could be a good time to jump the apple ship. it's pretty clear their focus is not their power users' focus.
as such i was looking into a lenovo thinkstation p340 tiny.
you can configure it with 64gb ram and core i9 with 10 cores and 20 threads for less $$$ than what an underpowered 6 core mac mini is selling for.
