Apple's $599 MacBook Neo Sold Out Through April 2026 Amid Surging Demand

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

A billionaire and a college student have the same phone and laptop

That's about $7,400. Billionaires should get a maxed out MacBook Air though, an MBP is bulky and heavy and I can't figure out what anyone would need 128GB RAM and an 8 TB SSD for in their home laptop. If it's just about spending money, buy a golden toilet to sit on while shit posting on X. A maxed o

Come on Adam, that is not normal for a $1,999 laptop.

A MacBook Air is very thin too, and it does not do that, lol

Have you ever switched to a rival brand as a customer, if so, how's that going for you?

I’ll catch shit for this but going from a Windows laptop to a MacBook has been fantastic. I still have a PC I built for myself, and I still use it for gaming…. But otherwise I use my laptop for most everything else. I bought in with the MacBook Air when they first released the M1 chips in 2020 becau

Wondering if ipadpro + magic keyboard would be suitable for my needs

I used my iPad Pro M4 for about 8 months with Magic Keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Overall it did most of what I needed, I could have email, calendar, safari, pages and numbers as well as chatGPT open at the same time using sidecar. I also have the 11” nano screen version. I just bought a 15” MacBook A

Life Hack: Dual iPhone Airs

Thanks! Yeah sometimes I think a 13” MacBook Air and an 11” or 13” iPad Pro would be the perfect bag lol But I just can’t live without that 120hz, and now I’ll never go back to glossy screens after experiencing Nano-Texture. And they wouldn’t match this well 😎

How I reduced my travel work setup to just a laptop

LOL the loud motorcycles in SEA are basically part of the remote work experience at this point 😭 MacBook Air + phone setup is elite though. Super minimal. I do recommend ANC earbuds if you don’t wanna spend AirPods money again.

Laptop recs for ux designers?

If you are getting student discount and have a big budget go with Apple Mac Pro M5 series with RAM more than 16 gigs. This will future proof you. Even the MacBook Air would work as a student I started with windows laptop with 8 gigs of RAM and 4th gen intel i5 processor, and still made it into desig

Bought a Mac Studio M4 Max in January — now having second thoughts. Should I switch to a MacBook Pro?

Get a MacBook Air as second computer. It is nice not to bother with docking and it has worked for me for many years.
