it's obscenely expensive but I am wondering about buying a maxed-out M1 MacBook Air. it would make my life easier…
pros:
• oh my god i'd finally have enough disk space again
• compiling things might not take forever
• hell yeah aarch64
cons:
• oh god am i ready to take the plunge into a non-x86 world
• digging myself even deeper into apple's ecosystem oh no
thing is, I'll outgrow the storage again and then I'll need an even more obscenely expensive upgrade at some point down the road, so maybe I need a better storage strategy
also, man, as fast as the M1 is, it's probably not faster than my Ryzen box…
@hikari Have you considered an external SSD over USB? I've thought a little about it myself recently
@JosJuice external storage is so krångligt and I'd need two external drives, the other being a backup ;_;
