I put tech products to the test so you don't have to. Everything from computers and laptops (with a focus on Apple), to keyboards, monitors, phones, and TVs. Come join me and my pet cat to choose your next purchase wisely.
Please make a video comparing MacBook Air m3 with 16 gb ram 256gb storage to MacBook Air m2 16 gb ram 512 gb storage. Because in this configuration the price is almost same. Which one should I go for.???
i miss this feature so much 😢.. aww shit. i miss when my lockscreen is a converted live photos from TikTok video.. it was cool back then. now we can only use live photo when the picture taken from camera. fuck that “the motion not available” error that happen when trying to use a downloaded live photos as wallpaper.. even if we use the live wallpaper .. it just plays when we swipe to lockscreen.. or turn on and off the screen.. not when we touch it for a 3 secs .. and it just too short.. not satisfying anymore 😔😔😔
3:56 Hi thank you for covering this topic, exactly what I’m looking for! Quick question, how big is the improvement when you upgrade the SSD (M2 model) from 256GB to 512GB?
Personally I put my desktop Mac to sleep when I'm going somewhere for a very short period of time (for example 30 minutes - 1 hour). There's no option I'm risking putting it to sleep for all day, risking that a power outage may happen
My first time on your channel thanks so much for the great information! In terms of squeezing us on the upgrade, that would be a very Apple thing to do :-) do I think the supply chain issue does also offer one cause.
Macs are absolute crap. x86 emulation barely work and loses more than 40% performance running the emulation layer. Plus with the new release of the Snapdragon x elite chip already beat the M3 chip in single and multicore. And if you think non apple users are brokies, there are laptops with better performance more than 1.5x the price of m3 max on the market.
I got one from my office. But for personal use I'll never buy these. These are ridiculously expensive and to update the RAM and storage the additional cost is back breaking. Apple is milking it's customers dry to the bone. And remember, if anything goes bad, they're virtually not repairable or the repair costs almost a new MacBook. Please don't buy these for personal use people :)
I have both the 15 pro and 15 pro max (main device). The thing I don’t like about the 15 pro is the battery life isn’t all that great and would only get about 6 hours of battery then it would be dead even though I hardly used the phone during the day.
The thing is the gpus in laptops aren’t even close to the ones in pcs if you were to do this test in a pc it would most likely go to the laptop but we’re talking moving not stability so yes I would recommend getting the Mac book
multitasking is not about just compiling in multiple threads - it is more about our daily usecase where we have opened tons of browser tabs and others processes. Every new process can use separated core, so it should be written for parallel execution. Even if you're using Python or Node for compiling/transpiling, it also will use multicore usage scenario. So more cores - always better. But if you're using Node for building app - single core performance could help here) But this almost doesn't affect on UX :)
Just hook up a 1440p 34" wide screen gaming monitor with 144Hz refresh rate and PiP functionality with USB-C to DP1.4 cable. Problem solved at half the cost.

I’m gonna write a thoughtful comment here. I’ve tried keychron and Mx mechanical. I like the sound of the mx mechanical. At first, I thought keychron stuff is better. But I’ve realized something. The keychron Force you to have your hands placed in a focused manner because the groove of each keyboard is more detaily and has a sharper curvature. It gives the feeling of detail-y. But at the same time, I feel like i have to use a bit of my brain to focus/ put my hands closer together to fit the groove of each keyboard. The Logitech Mx mechanical keys feel flimsier.(yes, feel like a cheaper material) But, I found it somewhat more pleasant. Because it just works. Another thing I like about Mx keyboard is that I don’t have to press deeper into it. One thing I don’t like about Mx mechanical logical is that it has no USB version. I strongly believe Mx keyboard is perfect for typing email things/essays. And, obviously I will use something else for gaming. I feel like Mx mechanical would be unforgiving to an emotionally charged finger press. Other than that, Mx mechanical would be perfect for me. (I also read it somewhere that Mx mechanical USB only does charging. And the connection is only by Blue tooth. So if battery stops working and stops charging, that might be it for the keyboard. I’m not 100% on this matter but please double check for yourself.) pricing wise I think it’s a bit pricey but I strongly believe it just got the ergonomic part correctly. I don’t think I can find something as good as this even if I spend $500+ on a keyboard. It feels like a BIC ball pen. There are Cheap feels but just fits hand easier and feels nice to press down on. The space bar of Mx keyboard was a bit of problem for me. The sound first. And, also worried if it would give out after many use. But, I think I’m gonna buy it. It just felt right. Apple keyboards have the smallest height. And, that makes me having to tilt my wrist the least. This Mx mechanical would be the 2nd lowest height. A tad higher than Apple’s but I think my wrist would be ok with that. I currently have a gaming keyboard from Corsair. It’s decent for gaming but I regret a bit when it comes to diary writing or everyday email writing. I think I have to get Mx mechanical keyboard. For adobe/sound work, shortest key height works the best like the Apple’s. It gives you that confidence the key was pressed in and only once. Instead of accidental double entry. It does happen.
Run me some QRSTool to map and analyze ECG data on MacOS. Run me IBM Amos… There! Mac can’t! While MacBooks are undoubtedly the best laptops for creators and hippie freelancing artists. It cannot compete with windows in medical research, niche engineering applications, and even enterprise suites. I wish I could like Mac - but I had to sell it because I was spending more time on my lab desktop because I couldn’t do half the tasks on MacOS. Apple has put all their eggs in the artists’ basket - while windows still caters to professionals, corporate professionals, and STEM researchers.
