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

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

Was war der letzte "dumme" Kauf, den ihr irgendwie rechtfertigen musstet? :)
MacBook Air M3 neu weil ist ja irgendwie besser als mein gebrauchtes Air M1. Spoiler: ist es nicht. Für Alltagsdinge wie Email und Reddit sind beide genauso gut.

MacBook or Windows in MITM??
Ye get to choose between a couple of things with apples discount, but that discount is only 10k , if budget is tight , go windows , I see no point in buying m2 or m3 airs as you won't really find them brand new anywhere and the ones you do find , will be old stock being sold for a lot more than they

Zenbook 14 Ultra 7-255H (16RAM)vs MacBook Air M4 13/15"
The battery life is actually better on the zenbook on real life scenarios. The battery life tests you see online are 150nits, wifi off running a suite rather than actual use which is why we see huge differences between claims and actual battery life. I have several zenbooks spanning from 2014 to 202

The MacBook Neo beats a $1500 laptop in terms of browser performance!
Oh no, you got 4 points more Now every Windows laptop is useless 😂 Dude, what logic is this even from you? Even a 42 is more than good enough and doesn't make a Windows laptop shit. With your own logic, the MacBook Air M3 is now shit too cause it scored lower than the Windows laptop

"drag and drop to start" Issue. Help
Just to record, same problem on trying to update Sony a6500 camera on a MacBook Air M3 Tahoe (v26).I mean, lots of photographers use Mac, it should be support for it.

how feasible is omarchy on a mac?
better try omarchy (or any other linux distro) on an old intel mac... or trade your MBA M3 for a pc laptop. if you want to run linux on apple silicon, asahi linux is your best bet. "Asahi Linux aims to bring you a polished Linux® experience on Apple Silicon Macs."
