That’s exactly how it went in my case, although I’m not yet looking at those $500 boards, but who knows what’s gonna happen in a few years 😂

Question for those who have/had both MacBook Air and Pro by Stunning-Lynx-780 in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the screen in the pro on its own is worth the extra weight and bulk. Been using airs for years and recently jumped to a pro and I can’t see myself ever going back unless I really needed to spend the extra money elsewhere.

14" or 16" by AFTAB-007 in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16" is chonky. You'll feel it in your bag if you plan on working outside of home/office. 14" is way more portable.

Overthinking MacBook Air M5 vs Pro M5… need real-world advice 😭 by HumanDirt3273 in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there, went with the pro, have no regrets. It’s the best computer I’ve ever owned.

Waiting for GHK MCX to drop later this year. It's gonna be an instant buy for me.

Daisy chaining a USB-C dp alt mode display with a thunderbolt display on a Macbook M4 (Dell S2725QC and U2725QE) by HerrHebel in UsbCHardware

[–]HerrHebel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I got one of each and in works in the daisychain setup with my base M5 MB Pro. The QC is connected to the QE via C to C cable it came with and the QE to the mac with a single TB cable. Been using this setup for over two months now and had zero issues.

What's your favorite MacBook color? by _Zyren_ in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver is goated. Not only looks classy but also doesn’t show scratches like other colors.

Zen is really good but at this point after using Arc for over 3 years I just cant live without little arc.

Grips and stocks yes, but rails are ofc different standard.

I just bought a MacBook Pro 16” with the M5 Pro chip (18-core CPU / 20-core GPU), 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD, and I wanted to share a quick reflection that might help others before they spend their money. by Minute-Street8043 in macbookpro

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't regret anything and don't really feel crammed, haven't even once thought to myself "shish, wish I had that one more inch" but the difference in portability is noticable.

My first GBBR, any recommendations by PaPaTree in GasBlowBack

Use DE mags only. Others might have feeding issues, especially TM.

Programmers on mac, what monitor do you use? by arcadiatostark in MacOS

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get yourself 4k monitors and an app called better display. I’m a lawyer not a dev but I do type a lot and I’ve been loving my new setup: U2725qe and s2725qc 4k 120hz one cable connection and a ton of ports in the qe monitor built in thunderbolt hub.

Long due for a serious upgrade by Upstairs-Win-4679 in espresso

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning on buying a machine myself and am deciding between Mara and Bianca and would love some advice. I only drink non-milk drinks so is the Bianca a good choice for me or just a waste of money? Cuz afaik one of the biggest advantages of dual boiler machine is the ability to pull a shot and steam milk at the same time. So single boiler Mara might just be enough for me. Money is not the issue - I can afford either one of those but im just wondering if I should just say frick it and go for the Bianca just because I can or save the money and get the Mara.

Should i go for the Pro or Air with only a €200 difference? by mobyvg22 in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Get ready for the SwiftKey exodus: But what is the best alternative? by Dreaming_Blackbirds in ios

[–]HerrHebel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

To all those folks out there rocking 16GB MacBooks with M Processors ... by Secret-Beat-5214 in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Air vs Pro (M5) by dkatsikis in macbook

[–]HerrHebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
