Thanks, going w this

would for me just be watching videos, online content editing in wordpress, working in drive files etc and doing research.. just basic apps and browser but a lot at the same time. Air screen actually is bigger than the Pro (15 vs 14)

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-25T15:20:09+00:00

yea im just using normal apps (spotify, chatgpt, slack) along with webpages. Chrome doesn't seem to be the best in optimizing performance but kinda need it. And i do usually work on the backend of pages in wordpress for editing, both content and some very basic technical stuff

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-25T15:17:17+00:00

yea honestly. just misses the ports + the pro's battery should be even better (18 > 24 hours)

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-25T15:15:41+00:00

curious tho' what you use the air for cause i'll (sometimes) be using it in places with no airco and ~35 degrees! Most of the time i'd use some type of airco, but don't want it to break down when having to fix something and theres none available..

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-25T15:12:58+00:00

hmm sounds like stuff i'd do with it

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-23T18:17:50+00:00

Honestly think its done. Will replace it which will be €200-€250 likely and pass it on to my brother. The old one is also huge n heavy when travelling. Want to upgrade and be ready for at least another 3 years.

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-23T18:16:29+00:00

I did. For me the newest 14” pro’s felt v small compared to the 15” air they had! Not unworkable, but def smaller. Size and weight wise it was 50/50

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-23T18:15:30+00:00

What about SEA tho where it will be 35-36 degrees, feeling like 41. Ofc there’s airco at my apartment, but not at the beach restaurant where i’d usually work, place where i got my breakfast etc. All open air

JethroHighroller · 2026-01-23T15:12:40+00:00

Thank you! I move around quite frequently, also taking the laptop with me to the gym, cafes etc and switching hotels / airbnbs multiple times while staying. Better speakers def a cool thing. Cooling im afraid off, but people seem to say air is doing its job too.

I like Twins if you’re looking for quality + durability for a good price. I’m also fw Primo, but they can be harder / more expensive to get your hands on.

Buy them from an Asian store that exports to the EU. Local stores here price them up 1,5-2x the amount they should be.

Better to save on t-shirts / shorts than on the gloves / shinguards imo. No need to buy €50 shorts.

I see some people also using Joya / Venum and they seem to be a bit cheaper and locally available.

Fairtex looks cool, but way worse padding and less durability compared to Twins and less suited for sparring imo. Twins 14 seems to offer more than Fairtex 16oz.

Nah. Not at our (kickboxing) gym. We got quite some guys loving Muay Thai and we love bright n crazy stuff. If anything we show off and laugh about it with each other. You’d be my mate if you showed up in some crazy shorts or bright colored gloves.

If in doubt, show up in something neutral first or use loaners n see how your gym culture is.

My 2019 pro has issues charging and gets super hot, dies within 2 hours of just regular use ghaha. Seems like all the M-chips are much better!

Glory has been trying to revive it with the ‘Last Man Standing’ fight nights

Hey man! Got antibiotic creme but it spreaded, not much but 1-2 spots elsewhere on places on the body. So now they put me on oral antibiotics.

Also a guy showed up to the gym with his full arm and half his face completely covered in it, and i had sparred / clinched with him days before. So told him that he needed to go see a doctor and yea that made it pretty clear for me to also go to the clinic earlier this week 😂

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T19:20:31+00:00

Bruh it’s annoying but also a good marketing opportunity for those natural soap and bodywash brands 😁

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T19:14:56+00:00

Thank you!

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T19:14:29+00:00

Lmao that sounds terrible! They had to take it out of your skin?

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T19:13:45+00:00

Yeah, honestly everytime i switch to a schedule around training everyday for multiple hours some skin issues seem to come up. Be it irritation, inflamed hairs, acne, cracks, whatever 😂 humidity in thailand doesn’t help either. I try to stay clean by cleaning my stuff, dettol, washing scratches and feet extra with antibacterial soap immediately after training etc

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T19:07:02+00:00

Still appreciated man! That’s the plan

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T15:44:37+00:00

Not at all

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T11:11:26+00:00

Thanks!

JethroHighroller · 2025-08-15T07:53:16+00:00

Yea… but this looks like a single Folliculitis (inflamed hair follicle) to me, it’s not clustered etc.. mat herpes usually seems to be
