MacBook Air

Damn I’m still using a MacBook Air from 2015 that hasn’t been able to update in years. The battery is almost toast. I don’t have an office job and really just use my computer for Reddit and YouTube. This Neo might get me to cave and replace it.

People seriously overestimate what they need in a computer. I’ve worked in IT for about 20 years, and a lot of the “upgrades” people make seem less about necessity and more about bragging rights. Meanwhile, I’m over here happily using a 10-year-old 27-inch iMac that still does everything I actually

This isn’t about needing the newest tech, it’s about security and support. Older macOS versions are losing updates, security patches, and compatibility with newer frameworks the game relies on. And since Star Stable is an online game, they have to keep things secure and stable. If they kept supporti

And then there is a crazy productive guy with a 10 years old MacBook Air. No external keyboards, mouse, not even extra monitors

All developers used to get a MacBook Pro. But now they’ve downgraded to MacBook Airs M4. Typical cost cutting decision by management. All big 34” curved screens are being replaced by Dell docking stations with two screens, which are not compatible with Mac.. Devs are not happy as you can imagine

I did a similar copper shim mod on my MacBook Air 2019 back then, it helped with the temps a lot but it made it strictly not a “lap”top. There is a reason why there is an air gap, and it is for not literally burning you or cooking your skin.

Imo Apple has been no slouch at figuring out what consumers care about and giving it to them. Over a decade ago I bought my first Apple laptop because the MacBook Air had the best battery life on the market, and it wasn’t even close. As a bonus, it also had great build quality and was conveniently v

Tbh for 1.5k casual use. MacBook air. No need to look see. Should get minimum 4-5 years outta it easy. Got my m2 base config in 2022 for about $1.5. Still feels as smooth as day 1.
