Maybe, but still doesn't explain the Apple shenanigans....Ohhhhhhhhhhh he went there! :0

If it is I've not noticed it with this brand new imac I've set up for someone. I should run some benchmarks for curiosity sake.More than likely the 256GB included is super fast. Not all NVME drives are the same speed.
My work laptop at one point was the last intel macbook pro, a beast of a machine spec wise, but 4 USB C ports is all you get. Somewhat limiting for sure. But, with a nice dock, a decent machine.My previous Macbook Air was 7 years old and worked fine till I dropped it one day and then the track pad started to have issues. Used it ever day. It's super light vs some of the other laptops I have owned. And runs a version of BSD Unix I believe. I like it and it's much more intuitive to use versus Windows (which I hate). New one has a 500GB SSD. My only real complaint is it only has two Thunderbolt ports and one gets used by the power adaptor when plugged in.
Probably worse than Apple crappy plastic and capacitors of the 90s, I suppose.The worst part about Apple's soldered SSDs is that they have a limited lifespan. Present day Macs won't be usable at all in a few years unless you're good at BGA soldering.

I dont know about that. As long as the ram or ssd isnt dead the system will always retain its original setup. A 90s mac will end up being various bare metal chassis components in a few years when all the plastic has become soft candle wax. I have a very nice mid 90s apple monitor which I am toying with the notion of building a wood chassis for as the original is as soft as a saltine and has fallen apart. Whats worse an un-upgrade-able machine or a pile of parts on the floor?Probably worse than Apple crappy plastic and capacitors of the 90s, I suppose.
