That's fine, but personal anecdotes are also a hugely misleading source of information too. In the time since the iMac redesign was released, I've seen 10x more of the old models than I have seen of the new ones. My local barber even uses an Intel iMac in Target Display mode to run their Windows small-form-factor PC.

HN is disillusioned, but so are a lot of the west coast product designers that expect businesses to buy these on day 1. The majority of businesses are going to buy whatever is cheap and effective - their realistic choice is between a Chromebox and a Mac Mini.



When I think cheap and works out of the box, Mac is the last thing on my mind.


Apple ain’t cheap.

Windows 11 (literally) will not work out-of-the-box if you don’t have internet access.

Linux isn’t cheap unless your time is free.

I say we should just bring back IRIX.
