Next Macs placeholders are right in front of us 2022-2023

MacBook 12 appreciation thread
Dunno if there's a similar thread already, but I personally want to give a damn appreciation to this marvel of engineering. Yes, lots of people said this is "Just a Facebook machine", "Underpowered as f**k", yadda yadda. I digress. My own MacBook has been said otherwise. It's a beautiful rose... -
