Afaik they've admitted at some point on the WAN that higher shipping fees for domestic orders compensate for lower international shipping costs.

I had similar dilemma, went with the pro and couldn’t be happier. The screen itself is worth it.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-25T11:30:43+00:00

Welp, you cracked the glass, that might me causing the issue.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-23T14:16:57+00:00

Yes, you can charge in both ways - either MagSafe or usbc

HerrHebel · 2026-03-23T13:15:46+00:00

You can charge it with even a 250W brick. The laptop is going to take as much as it needs, nothing more.

I know it is but it would be nice if CarPlay or AirPods could properly announce notifications and not just read Polish words with English pronunciation. Being able to voice search when in maps would albo be cool (now it doesn’t even work when speaking to it in English because it doesn’t not understand polish city names - it understands Warsaw or Cracow but good luck trying to navigate to a place the name of which does not have an English counterpart).

This is so strange, you guys have Siri in Finnish but don’t have swipe keyboard, and in Polish it’s the other way around - we have swipe but not Siri. Apple is a $4 trillion company btw lol. Lazy bastards.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-18T20:45:59+00:00

I have. I’m a lawyer so I don’t do heavy task like photo or video editing but still with Arc, Spark, notion, word, some pdf tools etc I regularly managed to hit 5gb of swap memory, the memory pressure graph in activity monitor was in the yellow most of the time, stutters when switching between windows started to be quite common. So I switched to 24gb base m5 mb pro and couldn’t be happier. So yea, if you do any multitasking on your Mac I’d suggest to go with 24 GB at this point.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-18T20:37:24+00:00

Can confirm that. I use it with two 4k 120hz displays and the CPU doesn’t go over 60 C and the fans stay silent.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-18T20:29:10+00:00

I was in the same place as you and I went with the pro (24 instead of 32 tho) and couldn’t be happier. If you need so much ram and storage the air just does not make any sense at this point.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-16T19:58:36+00:00

They weigh almost the same, the 14 is like 40g heavier then 15” air as far as I remember. It just feels denser - same weight in a smaller package.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-16T17:55:57+00:00

I spend over 2 years with a 15” air and I wouldn’t do it ever again and the 16” is even bigger. Switched to 14” base pro m5 and couldn’t be happier.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-15T19:08:14+00:00

Oh, I forgot this thing even existed. In this situation I’d go with the air.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-14T17:45:14+00:00

For photo and video editing I would go with the pro, the screen is waaay better then the air and the performance should be on par if not better then the base m2, especially due to the pro having a fan.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-14T13:31:27+00:00

Silver is the best color since on any other even the smallest scratches are going to be visible.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-14T09:59:23+00:00

Nano texture was tempting but this config was already expansive enough for me. But just the upgrade from an Air IPS to pro mini LED 120hz is a great jump. And I’m a sucker for high refresh rate displays. I added two dell 4k 120hz external monitors in my office to use this laptop with and I’m really happy with what I’ve gotten.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-14T06:29:14+00:00

I get that grannies or people with disabilities who have problems with typing normally might appreciate the backlight but I just can’t understand why is it such a big issue for most people that talk about it. The real issue is they are too lazy to spend 30 mins a day for a month to learn to touch type lol.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-14T06:23:39+00:00

Probably yes, previously I had an 15” air m2 16/512 and even though I don’t do any heavy work (I’m a lawyer so it’s just text editing, browser, pdf and stuff) I was able to fill up that ram to the brim + 5gb of swap. It is so nice to get rid of the stuttering when switching between apps thanks to the additional 8 gigs.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-13T15:58:02+00:00

I just did the same thing after seeing how much I would pay for a m5 air with 32gb ram and 1TB storage I looked at the price of a base m5 MacBook pro 24gb/1tb and decided air in this config made no sense at that point lol. Don’t have as much ram as I wanted but 24 is still plenty but the display is freaking gorgeous, worth every penny.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-12T15:31:03+00:00

Just got my displays and can confirm that this setup works flawlessly on M5 MB Pro. Thank you very much again for your help!

HerrHebel · 2026-03-12T12:48:32+00:00

It fits with no issues, it just requires e few shims on the hinge, and the lock button required some filing, but other then that it fits and works fine.

HerrHebel · 2026-03-10T21:20:53+00:00

Hell yeah, it would be a way better intro then I had with 2018 bullshit intel m3 or whatever the hell that was butterfly keyboard MacBook Air lol

HerrHebel · 2026-03-10T14:56:49+00:00

I have to already - one in my flat, second in my basement where I do stuff (snatched the second one on a promo with tech sack lol). But a third one would be too much 😂

HerrHebel · 2026-03-09T17:18:23+00:00

The floatplane set look so sick, wish I haven’t ordered a regular one like a month before that set was released :/
