Critics slam Apple's new M6 laptop as a repackaged re-release

Original: Apple just recycled last year's laptop with an # M6 sticker slapped on it, hoping you'll ditch your current one like it'

Commenters are accusing Apple of recycling last year's MacBook design and simply rebranding it with an M6 chip, arguing the update offers little beyond marketing claims of being "supercharged." The criticism frames the release as an attempt to push existing owners into upgrading without meaningful new hardware or features, mocking the company's packaging of old technology as next-level innovation.

Why now: Apple's latest laptop launch is drawing backlash from users who see it as a minor refresh marketed as a major upgrade.
