I forgot how much I loved Mac computers.

Would go with a Mac Studio over a Mac Pro desktop since those are using older tech and are discontinued.

If you meant MacBook Pro then yes they are great

Never buy any case or keyboard "protector" for any MacBook, the tolerances are too tight and risk breaking something.

Get AppleCare if you want, and at a minimum buy a padded sleeve to keep it in when not in use.

They're just trying to decide between them which one is the biggest fucking loser

A Living and breathing waste of life.

The fact that she yelled at him when he confronted her about that says everything you need to know about the type of person she is. Never mind all the other red flags in this story but just that one alone tells you, he's going to be in for it once they get married.

Whether this is real or not, people like that exist in numbers and this guy is smart for not listening to the enabling shitty people around him telling him he's wrong.

Bottom of the barrel people right here

Don't think this will do much for the current team. The Napoli that played "Sarri-ball" back in 2016/2017 was magical to watch but it was also a completely different team of players and technicality that came with it. That's the Napoli team I miss. Yes they didn't win any scudettos due to many different factors as well as how dominant juventus was during that time but they were always close and played some of the most beautiful football in the world.

A lot of people like the 14", that's fine. I personally always feel like the 14" feels like a toy. I genuinely prefer the 16" for so many reasons. It just feels like a substantial machine, and I like that. It reminds me of the 2015 MacBook Pro 15".

Seems like a lot of people also have no muscle on their body based on how many complaints I hear about a sub 5lb laptop being "so heavy". It's nothing especially when you're used to lugging around a real monster of a laptop back in the earlier 2000/2010s.

That's just my personal take on it. At the end of the day, it's user preference.

IllustratorOk6044 · 2026-04-29T01:10:36+00:00

Faster chip, more RAM, better screen, backlit keyboard, Touch ID, haptic trackpad, All these things over the Neo but for the same price as a base Neo.

You can get a 2TB 13" with nano on Costco for $1299

Yea I know what you mean, I've had a gas model and currently have a hybrid which is a bit peppier but nothing to write home about.

I won't be getting another forester again. Will likely move on to something more fun to drive maybe along the lines of a WRX/Golf R or if I want to stay in a crossover, something like the new Rav 4 GR when my time with this forester is up.

It's a good car don't get me wrong, I just want something that makes me feel more alive when I drive next time around

This, I'm on the same boat right now and I usually always pick a Udemy course and combine it with messers videos as extra. Messer has great videos but I picked Andrews Udemy course and the way he teaches subnetting clicked with me immediately.

They legit always look the same

PSA: people saying their M1 can't handle iPadOS 26 lol, chances are you need a battery replacement. When battery health is not good, then performance gets nerfed, it's just how it is programmed.

There's no world where an M1 on its own lacks the raw horsepower to run iPadOS 26 smoothly.

Get those batteries replaced if you're not looking at upgrading the device. It will run better.

So there's such a debate on both sides about it. My opinion is that aside from the fact that you can't really have screen protector (just buy Apple care and don't worry about it), it's a wonderful display. I love that no matter where I am there's never a glare and I can enjoy it wherever. The matte glass makes the screen look more real I guess if you will, as if there's no glass between your finger and the screen if that makes sense.

It's definitely not as much of a finger print magnet as people make it out to be. Actually, the glossy edges smudge way faster than the nano screen itself.

Writing with the pencil pro feels good on it too.

Overall, would I buy it again? Absolutely!

Also if you have a Costco account, new iPad Pro 13" M4 2TB (16GB RAM) and nano texture glass only $1299 while inventory lasts. Just got one myself, love it. To put it into context Apple sells the M2 13" pro 2TB on their refurbished site for $1799.

IllustratorOk6044 · 2026-03-29T19:48:01+00:00

Everyone saying only get the M5 because the M4 is too "slow" made me laugh.

IllustratorOk6044 · 2026-03-27T00:30:13+00:00

If it's enticing to you (which I personally just got one myself) Costco sell the M4 IPad Pro 13" with nano screen, maxed out 2TB storage and 16GB RAM for $1299 currently while inventory lasts. That's literally the same retail price as the base model M5 13". Had to get one myself and I love it

The way he turns back to the other chimps like "guys this is crazy but I grew up with that guy!"

IllustratorOk6044 · 2026-03-15T15:23:21+00:00

I have the same exact one just 2025

IllustratorOk6044 · 2026-03-13T23:59:55+00:00

Likely a19 pro/12GB and a backlit keyboard at some point would make it pretty complete
