M5 Macbook Pro is here! And its a bit disappointing...

With the efficiency of Apple Silicon chips, it's been hard to justify frequent upgrades simply due to performance. Yes, the base M1 chip may be feeling a little long in the tooth to some, but for users switching over from an Intel chip, the difference is night and day. And there are plenty of people...

Sould I get the iPad A16 or the iPad Air M3?

The M3 is definitely going to be more future-proof than the A16 for sure. But if you’re on a budget the A16 is more than capable enough for the tasks you mentioned. Honestly, check the Apple certified refurb store too for the M1 Air. If it’s close enough in price that would be the smart buy. Just ke...

Thoughts on moving from Pro 3rd Gen to Air M3 (both 11”)

It’s a slight downgrade in terms of pro-motion and camera, and a not insignificant downgrade in terms of speakers and mics, but it depends on your use case and what you use your current iPad for primarily. https://www.apple.com/au/ipad/compare/?modelList=ipad-pro-11-3rd-gen,ipad-air-11-m3,ipad-pro-1...

Rant

I’ve seen issues on my iPhone 16 pro max after ios26. But not on my m3 MBA after Tahoe. Granted my M3 air started becoming “buggy” after 5 months(I got it in February 2025 brand new). And I’m kinda mad that I didn’t know M4 air was being released 2 months after I got the M3 lol. I got the 24GB versi...

iPad for only studying and note taking

iPad 11 A16 for $275 is a good deal + Apple Pencil.Step up to the iPad Air 11 M3 for $450 but u will need Apple Pencil Pro $100. The air with M3 will allow you loading larger PDF files.It can be an overkill; but more capable choice.Get a Paper Feel Screen protector; it will help with writing.

Doubt about whether to buy air or pro

The M1 has been said to be plenty good, even today. My wife is running an M1 Air, and has no issues. That said, I understand wanting to get ahead of any impending price increases. The general advice can be summed up as "if you have to ask, get the Air." I went from an Intel MacBook Pro to an M3 Air,...

Absolutely not useless for me for the past 5 years

I got an ipad air m3 which simply replaced my macbook air m3 for work. The ability to have touch controls, keyboard&trackpad AND apple pencil at once is unbeatable. My ipad has seen more use in 3 months than my mac has in a year.

Christmas is coming up and I want an upgrade, what graphics tablet do I get?

You could look into an XP Pen Magic Drawing Pad. I have one and love it. I also have an iPad Air M3. I like that too. If I had to pick just one, I’d pick the XP Pen tablet - it has a larger screen and matte finish already. I have the XP Pen Pro Stylus and it is great to hold vs the Apple Pencil Pro....

Pro vs I pad air M3

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. But for me personally, I'd definitely choose M4 Pro if it was in my budget. The OLED screen really makes difference. The higher refresh rate is a really nice bonus, but many people can live without that. I value display quality, color reproduction and overall perfor...
