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

Was the size of the Neo not a problem for anyone?

I have a 16-in MacBook pro, a neo, and a MacBook Air M4. I do feel it is a little easier to work off the 16-in screen, but I've had zero issues working off of the neo or air, as both are 13 inch.

Keep me from moving to apple: Linux laptop with similar performance to a macbook air m5 about 1000Euros

My computers: xps desktop running void linux thinkpad x1cg6 running void linux macbook air m4 (weaker cpu version) I love linux. I don’t like apple. It just doesn’t compare, though. Seems like you value good design, high performance, and light weight and… I mean you can get two of those things from

Laptop Suggestion for MBA Analytics

Honestly, don’t overthink “AI laptop” marketing. For an MBA in Analytics, you’re mostly going to use Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python, Tableau, presentations, etc. So the priorities should be: good battery life lightweight enough to carry daily 16GB RAM minimum reliable for the next 4–5 years I’d avoid

Laptop für Uni unter 800€ ??

Das MacBook Air M4 dropped hin und wieder mal auf 799€ und ist in meinen Augen ein sehr gutes Gesamtpaket für die Uni. Ich nutze das M2 jede Woche 40h auf Arbeit und bin sehr zufrieden damit, meine Frau hat das M4 privat und findet es sehr leicht und angenehm. Und ja, wir haben auch Windows und Linu

MBP or Mac Studio + Neo?

I did exactly this and it was a massive quality of life upgrade. I started with a 16 inch Pro with 36GB of RAM. At first I loved the novelty of having that much power in my bag but I eventually became paranoid about the device being stolen or damaged. It felt like carrying a high value target every

Powerful iGPU Laptops Recommendations

I already have the MacBook Air M4 for the battery life. I don’t want the MacBook Pro because I would just be using the gpu for gaming. I’m looking for a light windows laptop that (1) I can bring with me as my only laptop while traveling, (2) doesn’t look out of place in a courtroom, and (3) I can us

do arm laptops still got compatible issues?

A couple years ago I had a ThinkPad X13s with a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 processor and it was pretty messy. Last week I picked up a "$799" Dell for $399 at Best Buy that's got the Snapdragon X. What an improvement! I use it for web development (PHP, VSCode, Docker), streaming videos, etc. and it's total

Laptop Recommendations

I think the best option is an M4 MacBook Air if you can find it at a good price. Might have to go refurbished or used if new prices are too high for you, but as someone who used an XPS 15, the weight savings, reliability, and power efficiency of the MacBook Air are worth it.
