What are your thoughts on the new crop of Mac’s?
I’m running a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) and a bunch of custom Opencore based Hackintosh (OSX86) machines. Generally I use one or two outputs for projectors at 1080 and travel with flight cases so using desktop machines is not an issue.
The question is when I’m ready do I buy another laptop considering the high cost or switch to desktops? For me the sweet spot looks like the Mac Studio.
