We benchmarked Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac M1 to M4 — the numbers don’t lie

Playable for those that only own a MacBook but i got a m3 air, and the playability is in the no thanks. (Upgraded recently a base 8/256 m2 to m3 24/512) I love my air, but anything demanding gaming wise is just not worth it. I haven’t compared the settings to my rog ally, running steam os. But from

Microsoft Says 'We're Faster Than a Mac' in Latest Windows PC Ad

lol faster than M3 air they claim. But, with a fan, ad and spyware riddled OS, and 20% less battery life. Add a fan to the M3 in the form of the MacBook Pro and it's 31% faster than the X Elite and consumes 20% less power. The M4 smokes it even more. Qualcomm really dropped the ball.

I use Paralles on my MacBook Air M3 and I love it. Moving back and forth between OS and Windows is smooth and easy.

Apple introduces the new MacBook Air with the soaring performance of the M4 chip, a gorgeous new sky blue color, and a lower starting price of $999

I got a lot of "Apple would never raise the RAM to 16 GB for free." Then Apple did just that for M2 and M3 Airs. "But Apple will never do that for the M4 Air." Apple not only didn't raise prices on M4 Air for having 16 GB RAM—they lowered them by $100—and improved weaknesses like camera and number o

My old ASUS was too slow, so I got a MacBook Air M3 and decided to stick with macOS for optimal performance and battery life.

Good PCs for large-scale backtesting

What kind of back testing? Always ways to optimise if it’s just standard indicators. I use about 10 years of data for each ticker on 1M OHLCV data so quite a lot, i found by generating these in a parquet file along with the indicators pre generated along with other metrics populated (previous day hi

Macbook Air Districts for Staff...are you moving to the Neo?

We have been mostly Mac for the district since 09. However, chromebooks clearly took over the educational side, and we have had Lenovo chromebooks for students since 2019. Teachers are now on MacBook Air M3, which are really great machines. When the neo was announced, the pricing to me was absurd. B

Cyberpunk in coming to macbook

I would say, in principle, if you really enjoy the game as a concept and mechanically, and you have a good enough laptop (or are willing to compromise some visual fidelity for playability) then go for it. I’ve done a full run through via GeForce Now and loved the game to bits. This was before Phanto
