How the hell do we start this episode in any way other than like having John Maltz on that would be amazing

I kind of wish I had planned it such that Maltz was waiting in the way

God that would have been amazing

So yeah, so we should start with follow up as this is a normal episode as always and let's talk about the MacBook hierarchy of needs

I did think a bit about what my hierarchy of needs is since it was kind of sprung on us last episode and my conclusions were not that exciting

Even after having thought about it for a while

Cellular SD card reader waterproof a 14 inch screen a two and a half pounds

Which is half a pound lighter than 13 inch MacBook Pro a sensible screen resolution an option for gloss or matte screen

And this was all in and I don't have the rest of the email in front of me

I'm sorry, but it was all from some flavor of think pad if I'm not mistaken that Abby had found and so

Their point was just hey, you know all of us including the three of us are lamenting some of the choices that Apple has made with regard to laptops

but you know

You could just go swimming in the other pool and that may not be so terrible

You might get the hardware you want even if you don't get the software you want and it's an interesting point

Well, it's an interesting point except that like number one on my hierarchy of needs is runs macOS

Yeah, exactly

That wasn't the point of most of the emails. It wasn't like hey, you should try it

You see it's just that

The idea and it's kind of what I was getting at with MacBook I heard hierarchy of needs
