When I first saw this picture 20 years ago it had less jpeg.
MacBooks haven’t even had glowing logos since 2016.
That was a cool design. Idk why they axed it.
Wait for real? They killed the logo light? Never giving up this 2012 mbp I guess.
Yeah, the newer displays are just too thin for it. The backlit design was clever at the time, with the logo being illuminated by the display’s own backlight, but now at current thickness levels, it would cause ambient light to shine through the logo and back onto the display too noticeably.
OP, you gotta remember to reach in the back for the fresh memes.
You really fired those neurons for this meme OP
As a windows user, switching to a Mac for software development… I absolutely get it.
As a Linux user, using a mac is for software development… Kinda unnecessary overhead.
Linux on my personal computers for sure. Work? Mac all day. I can install required software and I don’t need some janky Windows terminal emulator. It’s hard to justify Windows for anything besides gaming, and even that is questionable with Linux gaming distros now.
Guessing that the uni in question has a deal with apple - teaching at a uni with a Lenovo deal, most lectures look exactly like this but with a different logo on the laptops
Apple was also hitting student deals pretty hard at that time if I remember correctly. They’ve targeted students since nearly inception.
They’re also journalist students. I’m not saying apple is the end-all-be-all, but at the time (and at least in my company still) a lot of graphics people use macs
We always had a few when I worked in international marketing who insisted on Apple when they started. However our IT guys were Win/Linux only and told them that they were on their own if they got an apple. Most of them lasted 6 months before transitioning a windows machine because of constant issues and no support.
Many of them were barely tech literate and only used an apple because everyone else in college used them. They had network of people to help them fix their issues.
Laptops were mandatory; MacBooks were all but mandatory.
Yeah, that’s what I was trying to get at. Apple was (and maybe still is I’m just not in the ecosystem) pushing really hard for the younger generation to have experience in their OS. Including donating devices to schools
The creative workflow on MacOS is unbeatable - gestures and workspaces and all the little bells and whistles.
