Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.
Trashcan Mac is good tho, as compact and quiet Linux machine it is
Theyโre almost down to a price where Iโd consider picking one up just because I think they look awesome, and are reasonably easy to max out their spec. Trouble is, that maxed out spec might tip its benchmarks over my M2 Macbook. Might.
Xeon 2696v3 is good with it's 18 core 36 threads, this cpu cost around 45$ on AliExpress too, also top up 128gb ram and it'll be great homeserver
Out of interest, I just looked up the actual benchmark scores.
A โ13 Pro with a Xeon 2697v2 scores 4891 on multi core
My 15โ M2 MacBook Air scores 9735 on the same.
Itโs astonishing how much Apple leapt ahead when the M-series chips dropped. Sure, the Intel machines on macOS still have their uses, (Iโm typing this on a 2014 Mac mini that I use for work), but Apple have done an incredible job of flooding the market with solid hardware to install Linux on.
