All 2021 MacBook Pros reach 500 nits (brightness/surface area) for everything, and 1,000 or more for some content. If that were me, I probably wouldn't have gotten this computer. Apparently some people are perfectly satisfied with dimmer screens. This is the feature I care about and appreciate most. Well that's too bad, because I really like this computer and three of its features in particular: 1) Bright screen I know, an expensive device purchased by around 0.3% of all humans on Earth in 2021 isn’t really what the “stuff you should buy” micro-genre is all about.
It's also a bit heavier on the dietary supplements than is typical. While writing, some of my “recommendations” metastasized into needlessly elaborate product reviews or gratuitously heterodox hot takes. Those articles are generally cogent, succinct, easy to read, and well-organized.
To give due credit to my intellectual forefathers: Sam Bowman's archetypal founding text, published in 2017, has since catalyzed iterations by Rob Wiblin, Michelle Hutchinson, Megan McArdle, Arden Koehler, Arden again, Julia Wise, James Aung, Rosie Campbell, Michelle Hutchinson, David Megans-Nicholas, Ben Schifman, Yuriy Akopov, Yuriy again, Sam himself again, and surely many others too in the five years since.Įdit: somehow missed Gavin Leech, Scott Alexander, Scott again, Mark Xu, Alexey Guzey, Jose Ricon, Phil Storry, this LW thread and another LW thread. This post is my attempted contribution to the blogosphere’s “things I recommend you buy and use” micro-genre. Thanks to Martin Glusker for his detailed, very helpful thoughts and feedback. It's there now, but virtually identical to this post. I may publish a more anecdote-rich, freewheeling version there soon, in which case I'll make this a linkpost. Note: this post was originally written for my blog, which may be why some parts might not appear to have been written for the Forum.
