Amazon Takes Up to $200 Off M5 MacBook Air With New Record Low Prices
Apple will probably be on the M9 chips by the time I feel the need to replace my M3 Air. This thing just doesn't stop.

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

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

Laptop- is MacBook Neo okay of rigor?
I would recommend getting a MacBook Air m3 or m4. would serve you well long term. With ai picking up everywhere, it’s possible you might have to do stuff in future that requires running local models. Even Claude code workflows can get hungry depend on what you’re doing. For a 5 year horizon - go big

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

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.

Entering PhD this fall. Budget of $600- should I go with MacBook Neo or something else?
It will work but R is memory hungry. Look for a used / Refurbished Air with 16GB RAM. Apple has it for 750, you can find an M3 Air for about $600 on eBay if you look carefully. You can also add AppleCare to one of those for piece of mind.

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
