Will there be SyncTerm and Multimail for Mac Silicon based computers?
If there's build tooling to support the ARM based macs, would be more surprised to see it unsupported... that said, they may dive all in on requiring signed software for installation, which may introduce hurdles.
I am thinking it might just be a better idea to either get a deluxe
android tablet or just a basic laptop instead.

Probably, or used... the new M1 Mac Mini is still about $200 overprised ($699), and they want another $200 to go from 256gb storage to 512gb.

Apparently it'll take a while for emulation/virtualization to shake out
and you can only do emulation or virtualization in a single process, not both.
And afaik, looks like I was write about locking down booting to signed images only (no linux). And with the custom chips, homebrew mac is effectively dead in a couple years.

stem 76 laptop instead.

Not sure if this is still true or not but, back when I was shopping for
a linux laptop in 2015, the Zareason laptops seemed to be somewhat more reasonably priced and more customizable at order time than the System
76 ones did.

I'm pining (heh) for a Pinebook; I love the idea of a cheap ARM
laptop.

but mostly used. I've heard of Pinebooks but read they are back
ordered. There's SO many laptops out there. I just want one that's not going to crap out in 5 years or less. I bought my first brand new
laptop in 2009. I had it 2 weeks and spilt coffee on it and killed it. I've been buying used ever since and really got good use out of them.
If you don't have a lot of money, buy a used Thinkpad T series. If
you have more, buy a new Thinkpad T series. Good Linux compatibility
and rock solid hardware. I seem to go about 13-15 years between
Thinkpads. :)

I'm hearing a lot of good stuff about these Leveno's. I'm looking in the $250 to $350 price range. Amazon has these two laptop with great specs. One is called the fusion5. The other is Yello something. I saw a thinkpad I for $199. Did they even make a Thinkpad 2 or did they just jump to the Thinkpad 3? I'd like to get the most bang for my buck but not sure if saving money with the off name brands is the smart move. Should I be worried about buying refurbed or stick with brand new? I gave myself a splitting headache today. ;-)

Hopefully you can buy your own drive and RAM to upgrade it - Or do you
need to have Apple provide those upgrades?
I'm hearing a lot of good stuff about these Leveno's. I'm looking in the $250 to $350 price range. Amazon has these two laptop with great specs.okay so you are looking for something 350 max. and you absolutely need a laptop?
you can get an hp elitebook 8470p i5 for 299 on amazon with win10 pro
8gigs of memory and 14 inch display. it's refurbished.
i got my gf one and it worked great. it's clunky but it's got muscle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GW03N6E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_tit ie=UTF8&psc=1 ---

Thanks for that MRO. If I had the space I'd love to go back to a desktop. Right now it's not an option. Now I have 7 laptops on my wish list with your suggestion. I'm trying to understand why I should get a refurb when I can get new for the same price. I emailed one of the sellers today asking that very question. I have a feeling warantee is gonna come in to play.

all my laptops fail when the warranty is done. like a month or
two after, always.

All soldered on board, even with the new mini.

hmm.. A few years ago, I thought I read Apple was going back to making th (and maybe storage drive?) removable so you could upgrade them. I don't k y they'd make it all soldered on.

They've been on this "make it so thin & light" kick for so long, I'm sure they'd use that as the reason why. But the real reason is so they can (over) charge you for the upgrades at the time of purchase.
Need up upgrade in the future? Too bad, throw it out and buy a new one.

I remember hearing how Apple started out with interest from computer clubs in the late 70s, I believe,
which I think had a community of open computing and easy upgrades, etc. And in the late 90s-early
2000s, I remember seeing ads for their G4 Mac tower and G5 PowerMac towers, saying they're easy to
open and upgrade. Seems like they've done a reversal in recent years.
Macs hold their resell value. A typical mac will last you a good 5+ years ss you really cheap out). Then you can either resell it or hand it off to ative.
The RAM is part of the "System on a chip" in the new M1 package. So it's acutally integrated into the CPU. Makes it fast as hell, but there are only 8 gig and 16 gig options right now. I anticipate 32 gig and possibly 64 gig versions in some sort of "step-up" release of the chip in 6 months or so.
The iMac has upgradable memory. Along with the Mac Pro. I don't believe any others do.

Woz was the hobbiest. He wanted all the parts to be upgradable.
Jobs strove for simple, elegant design. Computers for the consumer
that wasn't interested in opening up the case. Laptops haven't been upgradable since the unibody design was released in the early 2010's.
From time to time they release a Mac Pro which has all the upgradeable capabilities.

Money... look at the upcharge pricing to go from 8-16gb ram and from 256gb storage... +$200 each increment, far more than the costs
associated with those parts.
Yep. One time I bought a 2011 Macbook (the last year they made the 17" version), and I bought a RAM upgrade elsewhere. Due to it being non-Apple RAM, if I went into the information screen (or somewhere), it had a warning saying I was using 3rd-party RAM modules. Apple would charge at least 1.5x as much as I paid elsewhere for the RAM.
My mom called me yesterday, her macbook is running slow after the latest update. I really should of disabled major OS updates years ago. Apple just keeps throwing on new features until people just give up and buy a new

My dad traded a motorcycle for a Mosin Nagant and a Mac Book once. I absolutely hated that thing.
