Thanks for commenting directly on the noticeable input lag. Some other RU-vidrs irresponsibly glossed over that important issue when talking about this setup of using a capture card with iPads.
Thank you. The mouse is a recent change. I am not sure what it is about logitech mice and Macs, but the scrolling is just weird. Using the magic mouse makes it so easy to scrub through the timeline. We'll see if it lasts.
I got given a Series 3 Nike Apple Watch recently. Never owned an Apple Watch, but was going to buy the SE 2 soon. Do I NEED the latest Apple Watch or will the Series 3 Nike edition one be good for a while?
My main issue is that my external monitor (34” 3440x1440 ultra wide) sucks for iPadOS - everything is blown up in size due to Mac and iPad wanting a 5K monitor. I know some 4K monitors are supposed to work well but you need to get them at the right size and PPI
Curious, do you know if the USB dongle works on Mac as well? Thinking of picking up a pair of these for work (where I’m on Teams all the time). Also, do you know if pressing the mute button while on teams actually mutes via Teams? Or, is it a hardware mute? Thanks :)
For people that are still using iphone and a windows u can use LanDrop to transfer files between them, you just have to be on the same network work as airdrop!
i never wear a watch to bed, i charge this watch during the night if ill be wearing it the next day. i rather wear a mechanical watch, but i dont see a need to upgrade to a newer version since my battery is at 98% still.
Well my work includes thesis writing research and making n presenting presentations. I have a 10 yr old macbook and 5 year old ipad. Can the M4 ipad 11 inch replace both of them??
For laptops, I’ve always used pc. I recently got an mbp m3 max 64gb unified memory and it’s a nice machine forsure. I still use a pc for gaming purposes and recreational use but for work and majority of my task Im seeing myself naturally going to the Mac rather the pc. I think they both have their own pros and cons but doing the switch to any M series Apple computer is a big thing with unified memory
Mate, if you think the MacBook screen is the best on a laptop, you’ve clearly never used a 120hz oled panel on some of the Asus laptops. Not to mention the intense motion blur on MacBooks.
I commented on a separate video of yours explaining ways this shows you aren't actually using the XT, but when you talk about the 7.1 surround sound that the XT doesn't even have that's basically the nail in the coffin. The XT uses a much better option for spatial sound with its included Dolby Atmos license 😅
It all depends on the software you need. If you are only in video editing and generic apps like notes, office and a browser then sure it will be a blast. I believe without the need to edit videos on a laptop, Chromebook can be a very good choice and much cheaper too - no need to have a fully functional computer really.
I literally just made the switched yesterday for the same reasons. However I went with the 16" model just because of the screen size and just a personal preference of mine. Taking videos on my iPhone and just air dropping things to my MacBook Pro is just spectacular. Hope you enjoy your new device as much as I am enjoying mine! Also, just found your channel and left that sub!
I made the switch to MBAir 11” back in 2011. It had 2 gig ram. 2! And I pushed that little guy producing big Powepoint shows with all kinds of windows open. It never missed a beat. Loved that thing. By 2007 the op sys and other software had grown a lot so 2 gig finally was just not enough. I finally bought a 2007 MBAir 13”. With 8 gig. It was fine but I passed it on to family and got a 13” M2 MBAir with 16 gig to make sure it had some future. As I am 81 this might be the last one so I treated myself to the 27” Studio monitor and the usual array of wireless peripherals. When I need to do work at the desk it is just so awesome, Never regretted the switch to Mac. And the 2 iPhones, iPad, Apple TV, all work seamlessly. It’s been a long journey from my Apple II in 1984 when I was 41 through all the IBMs XT, 286, 386, Pentium et al and then laptops where I always had to fix something. Never regretted the switch. It just works. Note. I am not a gamer.
You are the perfect Apple fanboy example, trying to find good reasons (even if they don't really exist) to explain why he spent so much money on a laptop, when he could use a refurbished Think Pad with 150$-600$ doing exactly the same job (or even better). Consumerism at its finest. All the IT, software developers and hackers experts like me, laughing with all you Apple fanboys, that have so demanding jobs to accomplish, that you need a 4,000$ laptop.
sure....it's not a new notion but my favorite feature of Macs and Apple products in general is the usable life span. Until my purchase of a base Mini M1 in 2020, I used ol' Intel Mac Pro 3,1 first built in 2008 as my daily driver.
I currently use a ux6404 zenbook pro 14, a 2500usd laptop. But it couldnt hold 45w on the cpu due to factory dried paste. Dried out in 2days. I had to take the risk and liquidmetal paste it. I also have to use process lasso pro because windows energy management is trash. Now this laptop handles davinci and blender really well as the it can handle now 100w sustained on the cpu alone. Fhe 4070 also has a 125w budget. Nonetheless i had an m1max 10/32 1tb 32gb 16inch and that thing still smokes this laptop and stays much more quiet. I recently bought a 16inch m3max base but returned it. I might just wait for m4max or get a 2nd hand m2max. Apple is the way to go!
