      It’s so bad. I have one because it was free. Firefox alone makes it max out, stutter, and lag on a 8GB model.

      My laptop from 10 years ago had 16GB… I don’t know wtf is going on with this. ARM does not make it better, Apple. Like, seriously, fuck you.

        Most amazing thing Apple managed to do is convince fans that is how computers should behave and that’s the best there is and everything else is worse in comparison.

      I mean… I know dae Apple bad, but yeah… an 8GB RAM mac performs better than a 16GB Windows machine.

      Linux on the other hand, nah.

          Lawl I work in tech, and your comment (which lacks any sort of meaningful substance) is wrong and hilarious.

          You have what? A PC? A Mac? An emac? Linux? A phone? How much RAM in each? What processor? Are they running on SSDs? What’s wrong?

          Ehhhh I’m done responding to children this morning. Some of the worst kinds of redditors came over, and I think you’re that kind of Redditor.

    FTA:

    “AirJet isn’t a consumer product–consumers can’t buy it and modify their own MacBook Air, nor does Frore plan to create a kit for consumer sale. Frore’s MacBook Air demo is a proof of concept that it can be beneficial in a MacBook.”

    Soooo… “Dear Apple… NOTICE UUUUUSSSSS!!!”

      It sounds like they want to be acquired, and if their tech is as good as this article makes it seem, maybe Apple should. :)

            No one needs to buy a rival or steal their tech anymore. Just get them to launch on the stock exchanges and then destroy them with your wallstreet buddies right there with some good old short and distort and cellar boxing, etc.

              Apple buys companies like this all the time. Purchasing a company of this size would be like you or I opting for an extra shot of espresso at a coffee shop to them: trivial with significant competitive advantage.

          That’s not what that word means in the context you’re implying it. Also Apple hasn’t been shy about acquiring companies for their tech.

        That’s an interesting question. What’s considered a reputable brand in 2023? What do you consider durable? One company allows you to replace every component with non broken parts and upgrades when they arrive, take older parts and reuse them in other projects, provides schematics to roll your own accessories and encourages tinkering. The other company is so locked down that when 1 component fails the device fails. When the device gets old it is thrown in a landfill. The power of the system is artificially “tuned” for battery longevity at the cost of performance because once again you can’t swap the battery…

        C’mon, man.

          What i think reputable & durable laptop is like Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell XPS or HP Elitebook, is Framework Laptop as durable as Thinkpad or XPS ?
          Honestly from what i saw in their promotional video framework laptop are good kinda like Panasonic ToughBook but cheaper, but it’s like magical think to some people because you can replace everything even the motherboard itself to whatever you like as long it’s compatible with your laptop case
          Even Panasonic ToughBook can’t change everything, you can only swap it with another modules
