Is he your uncle or something? I was just saying that it's surprising someone whose livelihood revolves around Apple uses a 5 year old MacBook. And yeah, if he was not an Apple enthusiast, Apple wouldn't suffer but his blog would.

No I am saying it’s dumb to call someone a shill when he has a very public spat with Apple, he constantly criticizes its CEO, its App Store policies, the latest OS, etc.

Exactly what would you like him to criticize? That the latest Apple Watch doesn’t run Linux?

Why exactly would he need to buy a new Mac just to maintain a blog? He buys a new iPhone every year and he gets review units of everything.
