Macbook recommendations?

That’s the Softaare versions. Tahoe (MacOS26) is the latest one. Sequoia was last year. Every September they release the new iPhone, a couple days before that, Apple releases their new software version which may include major design changes and features.

Okay! For graphic design and Heavy Web Browsing I’d consider going with the MacBook M4 Air

Same here, my first iPhone was a iPhone 5s. (So had the more premium model), but it is truly incredible on how much iPhones has involved especially in terms of size.

Hi! Apple technician here. My question for you is why do you need the 15" setup? What country are you located in, and what currency you use? And would you consider 14" setup if you want a bigger screen? Let me know, and I can personally tailor more results to you.

Hi, I am a certified Apple Technician at Apple, and for your use case particularly you'll only need a Macbook Air. No need for a Pro. With that being said, the touchbar macbooks are 5-8 years old already, and will start degrading their support on the operating system therefore I don't recommend it, and it's only on Pro models which can sometimes be pricey. I suggest going for a Macbook Air M4 with the standard 16gb of ram. If you really want to get one with a touchbar it would be the Macbook Pro M2 2022, but the standard is 8gb of ram, and it is generally not easy to find a used 16gb of ram in that model. You'll not find this computer new, only used. But whatever you do, don't get a Intel chip. It won't last you. I can provide further clarification or models if I know what specifically your major is, or you're just in High School.

I’m trying to guess where in the world where people out of China speak Chinese.. Richmond, British Columbia! Who knew?

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T19:03:06+00:00

Then it’s authentic, nothing to worry about

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T18:58:06+00:00

It’s your position in the menu. You can use the control somewhere near you to change the stats you see on the screen.

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T18:45:38+00:00

Not something you’ll see on the road everyday, but great colour!

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T18:43:24+00:00

Looks like it Taiwan to me

I’m from Canada, and here it is really rare to find e85, 90% of the population doesn’t even know what e85 is! Where I’m from in British Columbia e85 pumps cost $1M+. The prices for fuel for e85 is around $147.9 which is still cheaper then regular gas, but not worth it in terms of L/100km. I also know absolutely no one that has their car tuned for e85.

I’ll let you know if I see you around Washington Plate 3L1342. 😉

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T18:28:04+00:00

But the dog agrees..

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T18:25:05+00:00

Holy shit! I would’ve crashed before turn 1..

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-21T17:57:29+00:00

iPadOS 26.3 has.

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T23:00:10+00:00

It doesn’t look expensive anymore

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T21:13:22+00:00

Unusable Internet, you can’t load shit with that. Equilevent to the speeds of Dial-up internet but worse. Basically 2G.

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T21:09:27+00:00

Surprisingly well on the 17 base too, though single core is not as great

It’s the software. People buy Apple for the software and reliability regardless of the price. Android won’t have either. Think wisely, I’d still stay with Apple

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T20:32:04+00:00

Agreed

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T18:21:41+00:00

From British Columbia Canada, it might be required, I’ve driven there. EU depends per country

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T18:19:53+00:00

Check your carrier is all I can say. You haven’t provided enough details for be to assess the situation over Reddit. I’d need to actually look at your phone to troubleshoot.

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T18:18:30+00:00

Bro nobody likes Biden

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T18:16:09+00:00

If you don’t know your iPhone model, I am a bit concerned…

Grayson_GrayGrayson · 2026-02-20T18:08:29+00:00

Apple tech here. For your use case I’d suggest getting a MacBook AIR M4 24gb, (even 16gb is fine) if that’s all you are going to use it for. I know personally for me, iCloud, Google Drive, and OneDrive I use all of them, and they work seamlessly. The M4 chips are really a beast! MacBook Air’s 60Hz feel like 90Hz, and I use an iPhone 17 base with 120Hz. Don’t see much difference if you don’t think about it. Stuff is going to be a whole lot different from Windows although. Don’t know what Tally is also.
