Is it a completely bonkers proposition to buy a refurbished M2 Mac only to wipe it and put Asahi on it?

    I want it for the build quality. My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.

      I think people in the Linux community have a predisposition to call Apple products “low quality”, but as someone with an M2 Pro MacBook and a Framework 16, the Framework feels like cheap, mushy garbage in comparison. The Framework is still really cool for other reasons, but build quality is not one of them.

      The speakers on MacBooks are actually really good (the Framework speakers sound like absolute shit), and the OLED screen + keyboard & trackpad can’t be beat. I would run Asahi on it if it supported more than 60Hz on the built-in display and the mic worked. If those two things don’t matter to you, you might really enjoy Asahi on a Mac.

        unfortunately not all thinkpads are made the same. it seems that, for a while now, lenovo takes a bunch of cheaper laptops and slaps the thinkpad label on them

        i personally had a better experience with dell’s latitude line, but ymmv
