    Gross, unremovable batteries should be a crime.

    Fortunately my boss told IT we need macs (we don’t) so we didn’t have to deal with their BS. I’ve seen the corporate laptops and I feel your pain.

      This will be cool right up until your unreplaceable Apple SSD dies.

        That’s fine with me, I’ll just get whatever the latest laptop is at the time. We keep some spares on hand, so I’d be down for a day to get my new laptop set up.

          What’s the difference between that and a typical business laptop?

            Our IT dept doesn’t support macs, so they can’t put their nonsense controls on it. We could use Linux, but many on our team are more familiar with macOS.

            I don’t mind as long as its not Windows. I prefer Lenovo ThinkPads, but whatever, it’s not something I’m willing to fight over. And the new M-series chips are really fast, so I can put up with crappier ergonomics when not plugged in to my USB hub.
