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.

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.

Our staff have MacBook Air M3's and a Lenovo 300e. The MacBook is their main machine, and the 300e is a backup, so they can see what the kids see/experience, and to be left for a sub to use in the classroom with the sub's own credentials.

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

iPad Air M3: 128GB vs 256GB

The OS and software will continue to grow in size over time such that you might be in the position that I'm in with a 64 GB Air that I have to micromanage the storage. I don't like to give Tim Apple any more money than I have to, but I'm looking at a new M3 Air and I've eliminated the 128 GB. I don'

Surface laptop 7 or Macbook Air M5

Wow. Didn’t know anyone actually used OneDrive! M5 will be fast. Touchpad will be nice. Battery will be great. Mac Windows and Linux desktop have become more similar.

Macbook para arquitetura

Eu usei por um tempo, MacBook Air M3 e nunca tive nenhum problema, apesar da curva de aprendizado. SketchUp, AutoCAD e Archicad rodam super bem. Trabalhei em projetos com maquetes gigantes nos sketch e não travou, mesmo usando só na bateria, que também dura pra caramba. Agora sobre os programas, vai

Laptop Suggestion for a Design Student

If budget allows, a MacBook Air M3 with 16GB is a solid pick for design, great display and smooth performance. Windows works too if specs are strong. IMS DIA is redefining creative education with its industry-focused curriculum and global exposure.
