Also, is the base model Macbook still shipping with 8GB RAM? ;)

  • Everything will be 30x better, but, while the battery has 30x the capacity, the screen, CPU, and networking chip consume 30x the power, meaning you’ll have exactly the same runtime - 4-8hrs, depending on screen brightness and load. The drive will be 30x bigger and faster (IO), but the OS will take up 30x as much space. Everything will be 1024-bit to access all of the RAM, and a simple “Hello World” will take up 512MB. WiFi will be terabit speeds, but now that everything is in 32k, streaming is even slower with buffering lags every 3 minutes. Your 60TB drive can hold 12 movies. Boot times are still in the half-minute range because the OS takes up 120GB of drive space.

    But while you were in the future, you saw a person on one of these peak machines running tmux in a tty on Linux, and no display manager.

      I wish my work laptop could last 4-8 hours… It dies after one hour on the dot, always has even new. I get about 5 minutes between the low battery alert and it shutting off
