I do not personally think the new video makes a fair comparison.

I'd love to know what witch's curse befell Wade to cause him such constant bad luck with electronics I was surprised when I heard him say his M1 MacBook Pro "chugs". I have the M1 Pro version of the 16" MacBook Pro, it's not even the M1 Max, and it's still just as fast as ever under MacOS 26. Mind y

Should I buy a MacBook Pro in Japan and how to handle customs when returning to Europe?

No need, MacBooks are common to be kept at a good condition. My 4 yo M1 Pro is almost like new

Five Years of Apple Silicon: M1 to M5 Performance Comparison

Crazy thing is, for work I had a 2015 MacBook Pro and upgraded to the M1 Pro five years later. It has been five years since and I have absolutely no reason to upgrade. It is an incredible machine and moving to their own SOCs was one of the best decisions Apple ever made.

Looking for a laptop for music production

CoreAudio >>>>> ASIO drivers. I’ve tried the same software on my various MacBooks and desktop PCs over the years. Every time, the less powerful on paper MacBook has just trounced what I can achieve in Windows in terms of stability and track/plugin count. Pretty much any Apple Silicon MacBook will pr

Macbook air 13 m5 or lenevo loq 5050 for a cse/ai ml student

Get the Mac, the build quality alone will make it last much longer. I used my 2018 MacBook Pro up until last year with zero issues after 7 years of use, but the 8GB of RAM and old Intel chip were a bottleneck since I got into coding and then apple dropped support for it with Tahoe. Bought a used M1

Is a refurbished MacBook M1 Pro worth it in 2026?

I had a 14” M1 Pro until around this past Christmas. Ran wonderfully the whole time. I had it on that old Best Buy/Citizens leasing program, so I had to send it back, and now I have a MacBook Neo and an M4 Mac Mini. No regrets with the Pro though. It’ll still run really well.

Finally got my little setup up and running.

Nice setup, similar idea as mine. I have an M1 Max 64GB Studio, a 32GB M2 Pro Mini, and a MacBook M1 Pro 32GB as a "rag" and a Linux laptop as the only entry point into a closed loop. Can't say it's a beast, but it gets the job done.

Should I make the switch from Windows to MacOS?!

I use both a windows gaming laptop and a MacBook Pro for work. Let’s just say that even though the MacBook Pro M1 Pro is underpowered compared to the windows, I prefer to do 90% of my work on it. I deal with lots of 3D and graphic intensive work hence the need for windows. With a Mac you won’t have

What Mac should I get?

Your in America right? With the Memorial Day sales going I wouldn't hesitate at all for the Air you can buy a new M5 Air with 512GB instead of 256GB at that point as it's only $900 on Amazon right now https://www.amazon.com/Apple-2026-MacBook-13-inch-Laptop/dp/B0GR1493ZV or you can get it from Best
