Should I get a Macbook Neo or a used thinkpad?

I have only used ThinkPads and never thought I would get a Mac, having an overpriced Intel device to simply run an unix-like system was nuts to me.

Welcher Laptop für Studium und Homeoffice?

Solange du nichts studierst, wofür man spezielle technische Software (CAD, Simulationen o.Ä.) brauchst, nimm ein MacBook Air M4 (kostet 799 Euro). Die Akkulaufzeit und die Bauqualität sind phenomenal und das System fühlt sich mehr seamless an, als jeder andere Laptop.

Any lightweight laptops suggestions?

I absolutely hate MacOS with a passion. I use Windows and Linux computers on a daily basis. BUT I recently got a new MacBook Air M4 15" because I needed something that performed well with good battery life and decided to try a modern Mac on a whim and holy cow, while I still get frustrated with MacO

Microsoft: August Windows updates cause severe streaming issues

That’s what I did this year. Microsoft told me that my Windows 10 laptop won’t be supported anymore and I need to upgrade. So I upgraded to a new and shiny MacBook Air M4 😏

Are MacBooks still the most durable laptops?

It really depends on what you need. MacBook have become much easier to recommend in the last few years, especially on the low end. Need a good laptop for everyday to mid performance tasks, MacBook air M4 is an insanely good value. However if you need a laptop with more than 32GB ram and heavy proces

Mac Pro Metal not too far behind M3 Ultra

Advantages of Apple silicon are evident, but this doesn’t mean that Intel-based Macs are necessarily dead nor useless. Totally different machine…but just to illustrate this isn’t true only for top high end Macs: I use for work an MBA M4 32GB 1TB while at home my main machine is an iMac 27” 2019 i9 1
