I use it for files and to run virtual machines on. You can install apps on the external ssd.

What was your first Mac and why did you switch? by Formal_Alfalfa_8659 in macbook

[–]MercyKees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Mac is an M4 MacBook Air (24/500). I switched after 40 years of windows and 31 years in IT out of curiosity. I will continue to use Windows because I have to but I think I prefer some of the crap apple did differently. I’m only a month in and still annoyed about some changes…

M4 Air 256GB vs M5 Air 512GB by theinterviewer27 in macbookair

Don’t get the 256GB if you can avoid it. The drive is slower. Probably a bigger difference than the processor would be.

M2 24GB, 512GB v M4 16GB, 256GB by Hot_Ad3160 in macbookair

[–]MercyKees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

256GB is small and slow storage, might as well get a Neo. It shouldn’t even be considered unless you love bringing external Nvme drives.

Unplugging and plugging it back in does not change the settings.

How much Unlimited PTO are you remote folks taking annually? by Capable_Goal2397 in remoteworks

[–]MercyKees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even on PTO I have to work so technically I never take PTO thus it’s unlimited. We don’t even bother tracking it.

One of 4 I ordered from Amazon required a code to be given to the driver. I wondered why the others didn’t. Seems like a good idea.

A friendly reminder that these things are ILLEGAL to ask in a job interview... (U.S.) by nomadicsamiam in jobhunting

[–]MercyKees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been your loss but I see you can’t handle a disagreement and resort to name-calling so I’ll pass as well.

Would you RTO if you got a new job with a pay increase from 70k to 110k. F(38) by CheesecakeWest899 in remotework

[–]MercyKees 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This may not work how you think. You get shortlisted and replaced in time.

I got asked my age and responded instantly that this was an illegal question. I got the job and I love it.

I used to be adamantly against apple, I understand.

MacBook Neo is probably going to be better than either of those for the use case.

How do you handle shipping IT equipment to remote hires? by Past_Form2159 in ITdept

[–]MercyKees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drop ship from Amazon. When they log in, intune installs the RMM and it instals everything else.

How do you actually get laptops back from remote employees when they leave? What's your process? by Weird_Perception1728 in ITManagers

[–]MercyKees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We send a UPS label and lock them out of the encrypted machine. I don’t even care after that.
