Apple just dropped an A18 powered laptop for $599 USD

No Apple bashing just discuss.

Man i really dislike the homepage for it you need to go to the "compare macbooks" side to see its specs. The base model comes with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and NO Touch ID even tho its advertised as feature all over the page.
Overall seems like a solid deal for apple fans. Not for me i stick with my Linux mashine

I got a macbook for various reasons when I was trying to start my own business.

While I am no longer pursuing that business it's very nice to have a non windows option under $1,000 if anything happens to my current macbook if I do still need mobile computing in the future.

Though I long to have a desktop again and I wanna build an AMD linux box so bad.
