Cannot agree more. Whenever I am making a decision like picking tech at work I always assume everyone who will use it has new $5k MBPs.
all the kids in schools with their chromebooks and whatnots? - oh well, they can tell their parents to get you an MBP :)
Everyone has a 1000Mbps fibre connection too with 3ms latency. If not, well, they need to try harder at not being poor
Claude is slow on a $5k MBP too.
