I ' ve leveled tons of chars during the years in various private servers , the last time I played on private server it was WotLK 1 x , northrend took like forever , I needed to spend like 8 h per level , it took me like 45 weeks to level it from 1 to 80 . Even I hate leveling from the bottom of my heart , but it was kinda fun tbh . <| sep |> Its a MacBook Pro not MacBook Poweruser that wants to tinker and spend time to make it work , they want it to work out of the box . You have to accept that you ' re a niche user , otherwise why would Apple throw away billions of dollars in revenue if there are so many of you ? In fact they have the highest sales of their laptop ever . If you ' re saying then the CPU GPU aren ' t good enough for programmers even then I don ' t follow to me they seem on par for laptops and they are using what is available from Intel , but maybe I ' m wrong . One thing I am not at all wrong about is the main target is definitely not programmers . Yes they use them a lot because they are robust reliable machines . Apple is all about creativity tools and yes programming comes under that but they are by no means the sole target audience . You don ' t need to understand much about Apple history and focus over the last 10 years to see their machines have been geared towards the creative industries .
