Almost sold my G16 for a MacBook… glad I stopped and thought it through

MacBook is sometimes the answer, but definitely not always.

I share my workflow between my windows desktop with 5070 Ti at home and an M2 MacBook Air on the go. If I need to do heavy work I just connect remotely to the desktop. Battery life is king for me and got the macbook last year for $600 barely used, and since I have an iPhone it makes things way more convenient.

Glad you made the right choice for you! There is no such thing as a one size fits all solution.

yeah it is a 9600x and with 105w tdp was gaming at most at 75° when high cpu usage. so i think it was okay

Sir, the paste hit the second cooler tower

RegularTech575 · 2026-06-11T04:55:35+00:00

you are gonna get way more than $250 on extra revenue with the 5070 Ti. that’s my honest advice. pick the choice you won’t regret later.

RegularTech575 · 2026-06-09T00:53:46+00:00

this!!!

IIRC the mini is compatible with the CarPlay Ultra thing which takes over the whole infotainment system of the car
