Good. Apple's whole ecosystem can go.
- Wanna know how I know you’re cool
  
  Imagine feeling like your phone's brand defines if you're poor or not lol
  
  It sometimes does. But not in this case.
  
  I didn't make this world, I'm just describing it.
  
  What’s the logic here?
  Saving money doesn’t make you poor, it makes you smart.
  
  ..the battlecry of poor people..
  
  Wow you seem like a cool and interesting individual!
  
  Restricting yourself is being called rich? Wtf?
  
  Rich people didn't get rich by frivolously spending money.
  Exploitation mostly, but also by not wasting money on status symbols.
  
  Wanna know how I know you're insufferable
  
  You like Coldplay?
  
  Would dismissing someone’s preference in favor of your own do that?
  
  I dislike the Apple ecosystem a lot and the laptop I have on order is more expensive than a MacBook Pro 14 with M2 Pro
  
  Oh so it's all about money for you!
  
  Nah, performance.
  Which you can get in spades if you don't suck on Apples ecosystem like it's your mother's tit.
  
  If the performance of a modern Mac isn’t enough for you, you’re probably installing a million background bloatware apps and run them all in the background without knowing, like a boomer.
  You’re just not using computers right
  
  No, I was denying the fact that "If you don't use Apple you're poor".
  I am paying top dollar for a laptop that has the specifications I want, an exposed PCIE port for arbitrary PCIE devices to be dropped on the bus at any given time, perfect Linux support, and every part designed to be able to upgraded and repaired at will. Yes, if I ever need to, I want to be able to have 96 GB of RAM and 6 TB of storage installed. Apple simply does not allow this. In my case, my total configuration will be 32 GB of RAM and 3 TB of storage with a 8 core / 16 threads CPU with enough onboard graphical compute units to be usable even for some graphically intensive tasks with the eGPU unplugged. Even with its most expensive option, Apple does not sell a laptop that can be specced this far. I want to be able to connect Oculink eGPUs and not be bound by Thunderbolt's max transfer speed as well - and Apple does not offer this feature.
  Apple doesn't offer this. It would be cheaper to buy Apple in my situation, but it simply doesn't offer the features I ask for.
  Now the small challenge is: guess what laptop I have on order? ;)
  
  You don’t actually need those specs, you just like to brag that you have this and that. Meanwhile thousands of others run circles around whatever you do on lesser machines.
  
  Lol you fucking loser
  
  lol why so emotional
  
  Hahaha what a joke
