Can we have a comfy Apple discussion thread without seething poors ruining it?I'm thinking of copping a MBN (MacBook Neo) for my niece. She reckons everyone at her school wants to swap their shitty chromebooks for these.

>>108328823I'm stuck between the MBA and MBP at the moment. The screen on the MBP looks nice, but the MBA is probably enough for what I need.

I’d suck tim apple’s dick for a mbp with detachable screen, so you get an ipad and a proper macbook in one device. They’ll never release one, sadly'ate ipados, 'ate multiple devices
I'm abandoning Macs after the Intel stuff dies this year. I don't like macOS enough to have a computer that ONLY runs that.Otherwise I'm in deep. Probably looking to get the foldable iPhone this year and maybe upgrade my AirPods Pros again (surprised that it's already time for another iteration, it feels like I just got these).
>>108332059Foldables crack super easily, you need to really babysit them. Wouldn’t recommend it honestly
Proton aint worth it if Apple continues its retarded approach to "gaming". Sticking to Windows for Gaymen and my old ipad air 3 to draw
OP is a tranny
>>108329308it's so weird that the m5 mbp doesn't come with wifi 7 or tb5. Just some advanced marketing tactic that works.
>>108332437wifi 7 is a meme cause multiband drains loadsa energy. Fine on desktops, shit on laptopsyou get tb5 with the pro chip, my m4 has it. If you don’t go for the pro chip you probably want to go with air anyway
>>108332492I figure I'm paying for the better screen anyways, I might as well opt for the version that has tb5.
>>108328661i'm considering the neo. waiting for reviews, presumably tomorrow or the 11th
>>108332624I’d try to get the m4 air instead, prolly just a hundred more than neo and significantly better in many ways8gb ram just isn’t a good deal in current_year
>>108332705they're like $750-800 now on ebay open-box/like-new refurbished. they were $750 new during the holidays though

>>108334799who are you quoting?
>>108328661A Chromebook would be better than a Macshit neo.They're half the price and they can run Linux apps and games. You can't run jack shit on mac because of how locked down they are.
>>108334864all my Apple products have USB 3.0

Apple makes the only good tablet. Samshit is too big and expensive, Chinese software is garbage, Google won't even try to make something decent. My iPad mini is maximum comfy.

https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/08/apple-still-has-more-new-macs-planned/Don't buy anything yet
I bought a apple refurbished M4 air with 16gb of ram and 512gb of storage. Should do everything I want and then some. Ended up canceling my order for the MBN since I was worried 8gb won't do everything I want.
>can send files through airdrop whenever two devices are nearby>can copy and paste across devices>can’t keep files synchronized over airdrop, you need icloud for thatwhy? does nsa demand all data to be uploaded for their convenience or what? i dont have reliable internet when i’m traveling so even with aomething as basic as notes I have to send files back and forth manually to keep things synced

>>108334864I don't understand why they couldn't at least implement some kind of switching. Having 2 ports that look identical except half the shit you plug into 1 of them won't work is fuckin dumb. The kind of shit Steve Jobs would have raged about and never let out of the design phase

is thunderbolt 5 really worth going with the m5 pro?

>>108340801probably not, all I found on google is people speaking about eGPUs as the benefit over TB4. but idk
>>108340801You can't use eGPUs with Macs, so it's pointless.
It’s /g/, you can’t have a comfy discussion on here period.I do wish they did a Friendly Mac thread like they do Friendly Windows and Linux threads though
>apple watch ultra that I factory reset phoned home and iCloud locked itselfHow do I fix this? I thought if I factory reset it I was good to go.
Yeah, I'm thinking OP is BASED.
would i notice the difference between wifi 6 and wifi 7 on my home internet? mostly doomscroll/shitpost and watch youtube btw.
I got the red iPhone SE 2022 256 GB for no money almost and I’m fashion mogging all the normies
>>108342382>>108342390Got it, so I probably would never fully use tb5 anyways. I'll wait for m5 pro benchmarks to come out and decide. it's like $200 more or so for an m5 pro over an m5 with 24gb with an optional $200 upgrade on that.
I'm mad that the pro and max have the same CPU core count but the higher RAM options are locked to the max
>>108342596>wake up, check email and stuff for 5 minutes>battery is already down to 20%>wtf >:O!!!!average SE experience
>>108342773I don't even have a usecase for more than 24gb but with how ram is now I might just upgrade
>>108342793For me the usecase is compiling an entire project on a ramdisk
>>108342796mine is doom scrolling and consuming media/playing old mmos around the house, you can see why I would be worried about ram.
>>108342813You can probably unironically just buy a macbook air. I have some coworkers who use it, and while for really heavy compiling they are forced to use a build server, the fact that it's fanless is genuinely convenient if you don't need top performance.
>>108342821I would actually be okay with a mba but them being limited to 60hz is unacceptable. I mainly started shopping a mbp because of that. Now I'm in options hell. Now I'm in options hell. Very fun problem to have.
>>108342849Oh MBA is 60hz only? That's actually gay, for a web browsing fanless machine that's a big drawback.Just get a cheapo MBP then.
>>108342860Yeah lol, I can't do that with high refresh rate panels around me all the time. That's what I'm planning, an m5 mbp with 24gb of ram. Just want to see m5 pro benchmarks since the price difference between the two isn't the worst.
>>108328661I really dislike having 2 mobile devices (iPhone and iPad). Anyone else or am I just retarded?
>>108342905If it makes you feel any better, I have no idea what to do with my ipad and it mostly just sits there plugged in.
>>108342952You could trade it into Apple for a new device, then return said device to get a gift card worth of value.
>phone while out of the house>ipad pro while at home browsing tiktok and 4chan>ipad mini while using the bathroom. Shit and piss.
>>108342905these devices last so long that they basically pay for themselves even if you barely use themi think some people buy a pro max solely because they think the 6.7" or 6.9" iPhone can double as an iPad. think about it. A new base iphone is $799. a new base iPad is $349. combine them, you get $1,150----and a new Pro Max is $1,199.

>>108329308>I thinking about waiting for the new M5 Mini / Studio to mess around with local LLMdont do it, its a waste of time. i am you from the future who did the same thing and want by 3 grand back. local is so gimped compared to sota cloud offerings - if youre technical enough to run local, then youll be technical enough to notice how much worse it is and lose interest very quickly.
>>108329308There is literally no usecase for wifi 7If you are actually running a fileserver or something that needs speeds upwards of gigabit and a super reliable connection just run a fucking cable. You are not running a NAS on your phone, stop larping.
>>108345705is there even a usecase for 6 in a home? maybe an apartment complex or something?
>>108345798Not even, but by now it's widespread enough that it usually just comes as standard on new devices. I wouldn't chase wifi 6 either but you never really have to unless you're buying old/used.
>>108329231>connect to self-hosted VPN>use termius to ssh into desktopI haven't touched my laptop in a while
>>108345705you're wrong, and i am going to prove you wrong in a month or two. watch this space.
>>108328661Your niece always seems to have problems with apple products, maybe consider a different brand?
>>108329145this lol. it's very telling that the uptick in apple shilling only happened when they finally started to cater to the poors (now that they're an app store / subscription company like google and nu-ios is total dogshit)posted from my 16 pro max 1tb
>>108346134or maybe it coincides with android and windows turning to shit, and applel making the best cpu's in the market
>>108346244only if you're an armcuck and will ask for no more than 10 watts for your workload>llmamx is way better for that.android may be shit, but you could still hope to make it not. jailbreak scene is hopelessly dead and android's keeps getting better every day with a vibrant open source ecosystem. ios only has shortcuts which is basically just android intents; it's even named that way in the apis. any sort of background task is hell without it and shortcuts itself is fresh hell to work with.

>>108348817I didn't say it's useless retard. its obvious use is for literal poorfags to join the apple cult.
>>108328661Every single time like clockwork when a new Apple product gets announced or reviewed, you Applefags come out of the woodwork tlike cockroaches to scourge and shill on the entire internet end to end from Reddit to Youtube to Hacker News to social media and here too, no matter how good or bad it is. The fact that the board actually even tolerates this blatant astroturfing seeding of discussion at all is one of 4chan's biggest shames since this board's inception. No one else does this which is why it gets pointed out in particularr.Look at the Snapdragon X1 laptops or Microsoft Surface or Samsung phones, etc. All get at most one thread to a couple of post discussion in a thread about it broadly and that's it. The only thing that came even remotely close to this was the Steam Deck in recent years but it didn't get anywhere the same amount or concentration on release and was spread over months before it became a bit normal in year 2 and 3. But no, for you fags it's not enough until you cover at least 2 months end on end with a product release at the center until you're satisfied. It's insufferable and you all deserve the scorn of Satania for it.
>>108350875Honestly, I like this so much that my next desktop might be a mac as well.
