    I suspect tonight's presentation will be all about Macbook Pros and iMac with M3. Oh, iPad Air is rumored, too.

    Okay...what is the specific issue? Is it the limitations of the AIR or is the project you are doing not happening and thus the computer is not useful to you anymore?

    Sure! I have about 30 programs that open at login and run in the background. These range from weather tools to file and utility programs to CPU and memory monitoring. On top of that, I have nearly 10 pinned tabs in my Safari browser which I am sure eat up memory. However, as I look at...

    What I continually read is that everyone thinks the M3 machines are going to be a game-changer for its 3nm process technology that boasts overall performance with lower power consumption. I don't think I need a 16" Macbook Pro anymore. It's just too heavy on the lap. I have gotten used to...

    It's hard to debate this issue since it seems that Steve Jobs had always intended for the iPad and Mac to be two separate entities. Over the years, Apple certainly has made strides to bring both devices closer together with the introduction of iPad OS, but at the same time, it remained clear...

    This article really hits home https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/08/why-i-gave-up-on-the-ipad-only-dream/ The best thing I did this year was sell my 12.9" iPad Pro and use that money to buy the 13" Macbook Air It's so much easier to use when traveling as desktop apps are far easier to use than...

    Based on the ship's SpaceX Starlink connection, I am paying for premium Internet (top tier) for the entire week. Connection in port and at sea has been consistent as shown above. Surprisingly, at this speed, webpage loads are relatively quick to the point I never feel that I am struggling with...

    So, I am sitting here near the pool, on a cruise ship, in the middle of the Atlantic, with my new Macbook Air on my lap. I am completely impressed and in love with this device and it reminds me why I am obsessed with Apple products. This is such a well-constructed portable machine that has...

    Man, Thanks, my friend. I shouldn't have been so lazy and just looked it up myself. Seems like all the fixes are temporary. It's a needed process to update software. Now that I am sitting here on my 16" MBP, I see the CPU levels running a bit high as well, though for other things. So, CPU...

    First day using the MacBook Air and I am really happy with the device. It's incredibly light and portable which is exactly what I needed to take traveling. As much as I will miss my iPad Pro, I am already way more productive with Mac OS and its file system. I knew, knowing this was only a...

    Thanks, Man. That was another concern about the 8GB model. The SSD is slower than the higher-spec models as you have indicated.

    So, I did something I am not sure I'll regret... Sold my 2021 12.9" iPad Pro (5th generation) Bought my first Macbook Air for travel purposes, leaving my 16" MBP and Studio at home. I am only using it for lightweight work while on the road, but knowing that, I couldn't bring myself to go with...
