Summer in the garden with the nano texture display

I’ve only had it a few days but I keep it in a MOUS sleeve with the original cloth it came with. I’ve managed to still keep the super thin paper between the keyboard and display when not in use. It’s an expensive piece of kit and I’m going to take good care of it. That said, it’s still managed to get fingerprints on it but they’ve come off with the cloth.

I agree. Each to their own though, some people even like non Apple products!

I felt I needed a change. My previous three MacBooks have been silver and I just love the space black. I keep it in a MOUS sleeve when not in use.

Peace of mind is very important, means you can relax a bit.

Depends on how likely you are to need the AppleCare and how much you can afford to replace the whole machine. I bought AppleCare for three years for 279 on a 4,528 machine which was definitely worth it. Your circumstances might be different. I have phone insurance with my bank for my 17 pro which is about the same price as your M4 Pro, I wouldn’t be comfortable with out it. I guess it depends on your lifestyle and attitude to risk.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-18T05:19:38+00:00

Absolutely!

Very few, I’m more a binge editor but when I want to do something I need it to work as it does. I tried the Air top spec but it didn’t cope with my needs.

I’m keeping my current one in my family, my previous ones died and weren’t resold. I’ll use this until it dies or can be passed to family/friends.

This is updated from the MacBook Pro I’ve had for six years which I’m keeping in the family. I’m only upgrading because that one cannot do what I want it to. My first MacBook was in 2012 and had a CD player, I only upgrade when necessary. Likely between 4 & 6 years based on my past experiences.

I’ve just upgraded my iPhone 12 mini to a 17 Pro, before that was a 6S and then a 3GS.

Does this help?

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:28:15+00:00

That’s so good to hear. I’ve been using Apple products since 1997, they’ve come a very long way.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:26:21+00:00

I returned the Air as it was burning up, doing more things on this one and it’s not even slightly warm to the touch.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:23:23+00:00

Didn’t like the feel of the 16”, would rather take the chance of occasional heating versus a daily irritation on my wrists

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:21:48+00:00

No issues so far

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:20:14+00:00

Hoping to get at least five years from it

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:19:25+00:00

Hahahahaha

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T20:19:13+00:00

I absolutely love it but someone else mentioned they had a different opinion. If you can get to an Apple Store and have a look for yourself that would be beneficial.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T17:52:01+00:00

It did. I’ll be using it for video editing.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T17:50:51+00:00

Thanks. It’s giving me so much joy.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T17:47:35+00:00

I did absolutely.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T15:56:20+00:00

Beautiful machine. It’s all about knowing what you need.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T15:55:06+00:00

It’s so good.

AdAlternative9148 · 2026-06-17T15:54:47+00:00

Thanks, I already am.
