This seems like a very urban viewpoint. There are still places in the world and in the US in particular where a firearm is tool for safety that has nothing to do with other humans.

Look - the reality is it’s not going to be clear cut. How much faster it is will depend on the individual task you’re working on.

For sure. I don’t doubt it will be a faster machine. Most of my issue are about the costs for the incremental upgrades. The base machines all come with to little memory and ssd. The upgrades cost way too much for what you’re getting. My high end 2019 macbook pro cost ~ $2500. A high end macbook pro now cost ~ $4000. I would expect the new machine to last for four years like the last one did. I have a 1TB ssd now. It’s 3/4 full. The biggest consumer of space is my primary photo catalog. If I upgrade my camera in the next four years the megapixels will probably double and space will fill up even faster. The upgrade from a 1TB ssd to a 2TB ssd is $400. That’s way out of line with ssd costs anywhere else. And yes, I only keep my primary data on the laptop and push everything else of to my NAS.

Obsidian needs to improve how it handles resource files (images, etc). There are plugins that improve the situation, but they’re not reliable. With a notebook with hundreds of notes with most containing images, sometime tens of images, move the notes around to different folders and soon you have a big mess. Images in the resource folder that aren’t connected to any notes.
