I would also like to highlight that technically none of this is a hardware issue. In terms of the Pro M1 hardware specs,

“We go to the MIT student center, we hang out for like 2 hours… […] He’s like super quiet, but he seems, like, obviously smart. I wish I could say I was a discerning judge of character and had identified these 19 things that were really great…”

I can only speculate what Apple’s plans are, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if 5–10 years from now the dominating OS would be MacOS and iOS, with Apple devices being in virtually every home and every bag.

Nobody knows the answers to those questions — but these are precisely the pivotal points that shaped the journey of Drew Houston and Dropbox. The common denominator among them all is the two-letter word we so often dread: ‘no.’

You may think you have no self-destructive tendencies until you take a look at your life and realize all your dreams, relationships, and accomplishments have been carefully and thoroughly sabotaged by nobody other than yourself.

“It’s hard… Like, how do you deal with burnout, are you doing the right thing… Sometimes, a lot of procrastination is unhealthy, but sometimes, that little voice is leading you in a much better direction.”

It’s a loaded question for a number of reasons. Apple with launching the M1 machines on the 17th of November 2020 has done something revolutionary, and I say this objectively. The Pro M1 for me, redefines what a computer means and even more so what a portable professional computer means. While it’s not the first time I experience a fanless hardware package running some semblance of a desktop OS, neither the dumbed down Windows 8 version running on a DELL tablet, or various distros of Linux running on a Raspberry Pi felt such a defining moment in history. The former was still a tablet, while the latter seemed to be forever hindered by the OS’ incapabilities and the focus on keeping hardware costs below 50 bucks.

Starting the 17th of November 2020, the need for a fan in a powerful machine is not intrinsic, and those that have one do so to keep performance up rather than keep your machine from bursting into flames or your CPU attempting kamikaze. The assumptions that only an Intel or AMD processor can rule the professional and creative world are out the window. The association of endless cryptic specs with performance and the ability to deliver results is now all but unnecessary. The correlation between price and performance is also less of a point now. The M1 Mac Mini for instance can do everything a recent 15' or 16' Pro can and more at a fraction of the latter’s price.

Drew is, by all standards, a pure-bred engineer. His father was an engineer. His small group of friends were engineers. He knew how to dissect problems and build solutions. But he knew nothing about starting a business.

The OEM market will likely struggle to convince both the general consumers and the professionals to buy a machine that’s similar in price, but 5 to 10 times slower. Me thinks, Apple’s move could seismically shift a lot of the professional community to Apple devices and thus Apple-centric development. Microsoft relies on OEMs to sell its software and provide many of its services, but if people will start opting for a relatively cheap yet powerful Mac Mini or Air, instead of a DELL, HP, Lenovo, etc, the results could be monumental. Apple seems to play a different game, one that has at its core what people can achieve with technology rather than meaningless numbers.

It is also blatantly obvious now that ARM processors are very mature and completely viable for both laptops and desktops. A stage dominated by Intel and to some extent by AMD, is getting more fragmented now. But me thinks, not for long. While I have a deep respect for both of these companies as they enabled and supported for decades the current industrial revolution, Apple with TSMC has shown the world that ARM can do more and do so in a way that is both cost-efficient and has genuine benefits for everyone who picks up one of their machines.

Tell someone they can watch 14 movies on a single charge on a laptop that fits into a manila envelope, and they’ll want that over anything else in the shop. Tell a business-man or any kind of professional they can fly from Singapore to New Jersey (18.5h flight) on a single charge with a Pro M1, and they’ll be like “shut up and take my money”. The direct like for like competitor at similar price-points of the Air M1 or Pro M1 would probably be the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3, except that its battery life is 40% worse and in the benchmarks it gets obliterated. Another like for like would probably be the HP Spectre Folio, and while battery-wise it boasts about the same number of hours as the Air, when it comes to performance, the Folio starts to look like a very expensive child’s toy.

Nobody’s doing it on purpose, and most people don’t even realize they’re doing it. The truth is that many of us have well-established habits of self-destruction that we’re completely blind to. We have all the trimmings of a successful life — the right interests, the high ambitions, the willingness to keep trying. But we keep failing. And we don’t know why.

picious and she hired a private investigator to keep a watch on them. The investigator broke into their love pad and got indiscriminating letters that Marie had written to Paul in passion. She leaked the letters to the press and the French newspapers had a field day lapping up the story of the famous scientist with a torrid love affair. It became one of the hottest scandals of that time.

As someone who used to work in computer sales, I understand and applaud Apple’s marketing. This is not blind praise, but rather a both business and consumer-centric understanding of how well-crafted their marketing actually is. Most customers who would walk into the shop would throw empty stares my way whenever I’d start talking specs. They rarely if ever cared about what CPU I would put into the case, how much RAM the machine would have or the brand of the mother-board. Some wanted to know which latest game they could play with those specs, how many movies they could fit on the hard drive, and will it all still work in two or three years.
