Anyone else just not use their MacBook after getting a Magic Keyboard for their iPad?

Same. I got a Magic Keyboard for my M3 Air and I ended up giving my windows laptop to my aunt. I might eventually get a MacBook, but right now this combo fits my needs perfectly.

Do you need a MacBook Air with a m1/m2, if you have a ThinkPad X390 Yoga?

I have both a MacBook Air M3 and ThinkPad X390. The MBA has literally 2-3 times the battery life and a much better screen. However, I prefer the keyboard of the X390 and it is slightly more compact and easier to hold. You also have to see which platform has all the required apps you need for your li

What is the best computer for vector drawings?

You’re already in the Apple ecosystem with the iPad, so I would suggest sticking with a Mac. You don’t need anything overpowered for Adobe Illustrator, just something that runs smoothly when files get a bit more complex. A MacBook Air (M3 or newer) with 16GB RAM is a sweet spot. Fast, portable, and

What laptop did you start uni with, and would you buy it again knowing what you know now?

MacBook Air m3. It’s been fine for me and has dealt with everything I need it for. Contemplating whether I should’ve gotten the 13”. I got the 15” and love the bigger screen but it’s less portable it weighs a bit in my rucksack 😅

How is your 2019 Macbook Pro (13" i5 8GB) holding up today?

i went from an i9 24gb pro to a M3 Air and it was like a new world, 10 fold on every benchmark and true all day battery. I work professionally in graphic design and the AIr is a perfect computer. If you like battery life and adobe creative suite to run amazingly and want to work portably, I would hi

Utilisateur Linux, MacOS, ou autres, quel a été votre declic qui vous a fait détesté windows et Microsoft ?

  1. I grew up with 7, was too young to really know/care about the 8 drama, and disliked a lot of 10 and found it to be really boring and corporate but ultimately fine for use. 11 on the other hand, was not fine for use. It was a bitch to install, I’ve had so many bugs, the constant copilot pushing and M

Is MacBook Air M3 enough for AI/ML BTech + cross-platform app dev?

If you value battery life and portability for carrying to classes, get the MacBook Air M3 with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. If you plan on doing heavy deep learning locally without using the cloud, you should look at a Windows laptop with an NVIDIA RTX 40-series GPU instead.

MacBook Neo: 48 hours in and I’m genuinely blown away

I agree, I would much rather get a refurb M2 or M3 air and forgo the single core performance superiority of the Neo. I had been asking my wife to upgrade from her MacBook 12” for years because the Intel Core i5 1.3Ghz was woefully behind but she said no because the M-series Air was too heavy. When t
