No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

    Was it Framework who sells nicely repairable devices? Maybe I’ll see if they have reasonably good screens, and use Adobe through a Windows VM. I’d prefer that over bare metal anyway.

    I would hope that if I ever need a truly high end display, it’s going to be an employer who pays for it. One can hope.

      Frameworks are very nice, but I’m waiting for them to crystalize a bit.

      That still is a problem on both Windows and Linux. No matter what gamut your screen is, if the OS just sends nonsense to it, it’s just a colorful bestbuy “TV”.

      While Adobe products use their own color-management, you’ll meet many problems in your day creative project management. And guess what, it’s always your fault!
