RTX 5090 + M4 MacBook Air: Can it Game?

They get it running which is a massive achievement and they've done a fantastic job documenting the problems and bottlenecks they encountered. It will only get easier, someone will distill it down to a few clicks. And the results are very interesting too, the M-series chips excel at 720p and 1080p g

Studio Display XDR Owners: Thoughts so far?

I bought one but returned it the next day. While the display itself is incredible, I overlooked the fact that my current hardware can't fully utilize it. It was a bit of a mismatch, so I only have myself to blame. I have a MacBook Air (M4) and an older 16" MacBook Pro (M1 Max). The Air can drive the

Should i get a laptop or pc?

I dont know what kind of shitty ass gaming laptop you owned which used a snapdragon chip, and a MacBook pro is out of his budget even if he does get it the benchmarks are still much worse than a proper gaming laptop, if you think 40 fps is playable then maybe its ok for you, and no one ever just sti

Am I the only one incredibly skeptical of using any AI in my vault?

Local ai on an average computer is not nearly as powerful as the cloud ones are… I tried it with some… they all start to hallucinate after 10-20 notes on my MacBook Air m4 16GB… cloud-AIs do it a little better and faster, but I still didn’t find any that really does what I want (organizing and summa

Did I get ripped off for black friday? HP won't let me cancel

300 nit is slightly above baseline these days but way off the 500 nit panel in an MBA. M4 is not 15x more powerful than the 8840U… M4 has better single thread, 8840U wins on multi, they are both excellent CPUs: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/6374vs6096/Apple-M4-8-Core-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-PRO-8840U

Windows + iPhone users who don't game, what keeps you on Windows instead of switching to Mac?

University, and the cost. I ended up getting a much better Windows laptop for the price of a base model M4 MacBook Air. It really is a much better choice for me, as I often multitask and do programming a lot. Also some of my university courses require the use of Windows-only software, so I couldn't

Deep-dive into using an RTX 5090 Thunderbolt eGPU for gaming on Mac

They’re using an AI generated profile picture and suggesting running local LLMs on an MacBook Air M4. They’re either trolling or very unknowledgeable.
