Apple continues to be a thorn in my side. After years of critical coverage — despite my affinity for the company — I was enamored with its recent updates to the MacBook Pro line. I said as much in a take that ran contradictory to that of my colleague, Callum. Whereas he looked at it as a minor “spec bump,” I saw a new commitment to Pro-level users.

For years, we — as Apple fans — made excuses for the company. They weren’t false, but “it just works” was becoming a truism that was just as true about other modern operating systems. Windows made major strides in recent years, ChromeOS began gaining ground, and Linux is now more accessible than ever.
