Now we're getting into a different topic. They were really well-rounded machines—I just upgraded to 14" from an M1 Air myself, and only for compile + transcode times—but I wouldn't rank them higher than most others I've had:

- Core 2 Duo Pros proved to me you can have a laptop as your main computer for real dev + video work

- First-gen Retina 15" saved me from daily tension headaches

- Second-gen 12" MacBook, after only having a maxed out 15", changed the way I structure my days and where I consider going to work

I briefly had a Touch Bar supplied by a job; initially it was cool, but after the first month my only use for it was volume and brightness. I thought I wouldn't like going back to function keys but when I got the M1 Air I realized I prefer them
