Anyone else just not use their MacBook after getting a Magic Keyboard for their iPad?
Same. I got a Magic Keyboard for my M3 Air and I ended up giving my windows laptop to my aunt. I might eventually get a MacBook, but right now this combo fits my needs perfectly.

Do you need a MacBook Air with a m1/m2, if you have a ThinkPad X390 Yoga?
I have both a MacBook Air M3 and ThinkPad X390. The MBA has literally 2-3 times the battery life and a much better screen. However, I prefer the keyboard of the X390 and it is slightly more compact and easier to hold. You also have to see which platform has all the required apps you need for your li

What is the best computer for vector drawings?
You’re already in the Apple ecosystem with the iPad, so I would suggest sticking with a Mac. You don’t need anything overpowered for Adobe Illustrator, just something that runs smoothly when files get a bit more complex. A MacBook Air (M3 or newer) with 16GB RAM is a sweet spot. Fast, portable, and

Is No Man’s Sky playable on a base MacBook Air M3 (8 GB RAM) for exploration and crossplay?
no, the Air is really bad for gaming, it's for light work and traveling and not for demanding tasks even my MacBook Pro M3 struggles with Warcraft 3 ...

I’ve seen issues on my iPhone 16 pro max after ios26. But not on my m3 MBA after Tahoe. Granted my M3 air started becoming “buggy” after 5 months(I got it in February 2025 brand new). And I’m kinda mad that I didn’t know M4 air was being released 2 months after I got the M3 lol. I got the 24GB versi

Utilisateur Linux, MacOS, ou autres, quel a été votre declic qui vous a fait détesté windows et Microsoft ?
- I grew up with 7, was too young to really know/care about the 8 drama, and disliked a lot of 10 and found it to be really boring and corporate but ultimately fine for use. 11 on the other hand, was not fine for use. It was a bitch to install, I’ve had so many bugs, the constant copilot pushing and M

Is MacBook Air M3 enough for AI/ML BTech + cross-platform app dev?
If you value battery life and portability for carrying to classes, get the MacBook Air M3 with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. If you plan on doing heavy deep learning locally without using the cloud, you should look at a Windows laptop with an NVIDIA RTX 40-series GPU instead.

How is your 2019 Macbook Pro (13" i5 8GB) holding up today?
i went from an i9 24gb pro to a M3 Air and it was like a new world, 10 fold on every benchmark and true all day battery. I work professionally in graphic design and the AIr is a perfect computer. If you like battery life and adobe creative suite to run amazingly and want to work portably, I would hi
