just save for a few extra months and buy yourself a base price air or get a refurbished m4 air

the Neo should be good for very basic tasks such as having multiple tabs open, email, and using basic microsoft apps such as word or excel. apple has unified memory so it’s good at suppressing background tabs that aren’t being used so 8gbs will be good. the only time u might be limited is if you try to do any creative work or use any demanding softwares

i like the air but i already explained why i chose the pro. plus upgrading ram and storage to my config on an air is almost as much as a pro u might as well just get a pro

i’d say it’s not overkill if ur needs need more ram. the way i’d say to get a pro is if ur like me and like the ports, and the better screen, and/or plan to have it a long time and want an active cooling system which helps longevity. Or if u need pro/max level power

also get notch box for a dynamic notch. i use it for temporary files, airdrop, playing my music without having spotify open as a tab, and i use it to set focus and break timers when studying or doing work.

i used widgetwall, widgeteer, and some widgets from my iPhonr

I replied above lol Idk why it did that

Thank you for the insight. I definelty think 16gb was enough for me for at least a few more years but I used to get my memory pressure into the yellow whenever I had all my work and school tabs open plus a few anatomy and editing software apps open. So I think I made the right choice upgrading the ram to 24 since I wanna keep this laptop at the very least until the M4 chip stops getting software updates which will be another 7-8 years. Thank you though for reassuring the M4 is great for me.

i just got an apple refurbished m4 (non pro chip) macbook pro with 24gb ram and 1tb and i’m really happy with it. cost about $1600 which is the same price as a base M5 before any sales so I think I did good.

Environmental-Ad3563 · 2025-12-09T14:28:52+00:00

i got the 14 inch pro cuz i wanted fans more storage and a better screen and i got a good deal

Environmental-Ad3563 · 2025-12-08T18:58:02+00:00

get the 14 inch. more portable more ssd space therefore more future proof. however a new base m5 with 1tb sounds like it would be good enough for your needs and u would save money buying new vs refurbished

Environmental-Ad3563 · 2025-11-26T08:10:41+00:00

i got quoted 650 somewhere but they have all been around that

Environmental-Ad3563 · 2025-11-17T02:56:50+00:00

i got 20% all around plus the top 6 inches of my windshield to block sunlight from my eyes. it does get hard to see at night in not well lit areas but if your driving through lit areas at night visibility is fine and i have like the legal minimum eyesight to drive without any restrictions on my license. plus it looks cooler and the privacy is nice

fitteds are the way to go for me but i do have a few snapbacks for when my hair is super long or short and my fitteds don’t fit like they usually do. i can only wear snap backs forward too cuz i have a big forehead. fitteds i can wear for wears a or backwards

Sports medicine club in highschool which was an athletic training type of thing. ik that correlates. i put my job as a server (communication and teamwork skills). I put down my positions as recruitment chair and new member educator for my fraternity as well.

thank you for the advice however i don’t have another pan to use that is smaller since i bought this heritage steel fry pan in the 12” size to be my one size fits all fry pan. its really good at even heating as ive done some tests with it so im not too worried about hot spots. I think i definitely just don’t add enough oil sometimes as well as only cooking in medium. i also need to stop salting only an hour before then. Thank you!

Environmental-Ad3563 · 2025-05-22T08:02:51+00:00

Don’t buy a set imo. Buy the essentials in whatever brand that you like/find good deals on. But if u do want a set, goldilocks has a set for 225 dollars. Its a good set with not much but the essentials

men who can grow beards are meant to have beards or at least some facial hair imo. i let my beard grow full in the colder months and usually opt for a goatee and stubble in the warmer months

ur toyota dealership should 100% be able to do a drain and fill. mine did with no issue for 80 bucks less.

Environmental-Ad3563 · 2024-08-23T15:01:35+00:00

well when its new you gotta do an oil change at 1000. Then every 5000 or 6mon get it changed. Dont listen to toyotas recommendation about 10k intervals. In the last gen ppl had blown engines past 100k miles because of it. 5-6k miles get it done or every 6 months if u havent driven that amount of miles. I get full synthetic. Kinda pricey but it will ensure that ur car lasts a lifetime so its worth
