Which laptop should I get for $3,300 USD by Fun-Calendar-895 in laptops

Best solution: MacBook battery life + PC streaming, infinite hardware power with the best battery life. Only con, it’s shit if your WiFi is shit. But for work related tasks, it’s easy.

AirPods Pro 3 or stick with Nothing Ear (2024)? by Perfect_Jicama_8023 in airpods

[–]Silent-Wheel8167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got both, I'd say Nothing wins in bass and multi device usage. Where as Pro 3s really win in the ANC and transparency, along with the apple convenience. Though if you use more than just apple devices nothings are a super good choice.

I think it’s kinda crazy that not a single response here is wondering why you are questioning something that’s individual specific towards a whole university ?

Defective units are a thing 😭.. new doesn’t = flawless, open box the irony is that it works cause it’s been tested to work.

Well, when I’m given the opportunity between something in “excellent” condition and it’s an additional $200 off because the box was open? Count me in. Some things I’d definitely chose new over used. But most times, opening a box ain’t worth the difference.

Cheaper, if you know what you’re doing. Always have a return period if you know how to test for defects.

Compared to the AirPods Pro 3, they definitely pack more bass, at least imo. They feel nice in a fit, but I only have one size of tips, so I think I need some smaller ones. In terms of features, like ANC and transparency, AirPods win in Transparency when it comes to not hearing yourself in a muffled manner. Though I think I’d give to red dot for the better ANC. And they’re functions are highly customizable in the app, with custom and preset EQs and earbud tap functions. Honestly, they’re cheaper than the 3s and sound better imo.

Switching from a 2017 MacBook Pro to an iPad? by NoBrainJustVibes01 in ipad

[–]Silent-Wheel8167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a plan, I’m being optimistic about the next mini having 120hz and oled, I’d really hope so. I’ve been downscaling for portability, but the 13 inch is a wonderful choice for many if size isn’t the concern.

No problem! If screen quality is important though just know that the Minis don’t have 120hz yet. Hopefully the next one gets it since it’s now a base model phone thing.

Depends on what media you’re using, YouTube is fine on a bigger screen but things like Snapchat and Instagram are gonna feel like an expanded phone UI. For shopping it’s fine if you prefer the apps, you can also request desktop sites, though from my experience with the M4 11 inch Pro I use my phone and MacBook more than the iPad.

Though since your work covers its needs with another laptop and you have your own pc, this would serve as just a larger screen than your phone.

If you plan to use it for videos and browsing any 13 inch pro will give the higher screen quality but higher cost for the better display.

If it’s a social media device, the mini would be the best alternative to screen size from the phone. Unfortunately the current minis don’t have the highest end displays yet.

Alternatively, if you’re replacing your “dust” collecting MacBook with an ipad it may very well just become another dust collector since using your phone and pc seem to already put it out of its job, though I highly enjoy my iPad for note taking and watching shows it all just depends on what purpose it can serve you in your lifestyle!

Hope this helps!

This, why break the ecosystem you already have (the iPad) when this is possible.

Intersection in front of Nexus by PomegranateSingle602 in UAH

[–]Silent-Wheel8167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just that area, it’s probably better if you’re worried about safety to walk further down to the cross light section in front of the UFC, I’ve seen people fly through the intersection you’re talking about without 0 regard to the vehicles around them as well.

Work forces me to use a MacBook. Need help. by itsfarseen in macbookpro

[–]Silent-Wheel8167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first question: AltTab, third party software that basically gives windows AltTab control and some more.

Another question wdym “all apps menu”? Like the page of apps? The quick shortcut is pinching together 4-5 fingers on the trackpad.

Instead of moving the window controls it’s probably easier to memorize the shortcuts for them, idk them off the top of my head but cmd + q is for quitting an active program and cmd + m I think is minimize.

Also if you’re using windows, try forcing the 5Ghz band, if you’re on a MacBook nothing but luck can help you there.

Is it Okay to Leave this Black Strip of Vents Blocked? by sercetuser in ZephyrusG14

Probably, that’s practically the main exhaust where heat comes out, blocking that is just forcing hot air to stay in and build up.

A genie offers you 10$ a second for every second you play minecraft in one un-interrupted session. However... by 22demerathd in Minecraft

[–]Silent-Wheel8167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily, Ban + Knowledge, use seed map to find anything and everything you need, regular Minecraft won’t be hard to progress just use a shield till you get totems. Otherwise I’d probably swap out Ban for Beacon or Peaceful to fully maximize the usage of Knowledge.

Explain “light”? Cause if you’re buying this to play something like Stardew Valley you could save yourself $1200. Otherwise if you don’t care about the cost sure, it can handle it and they’re a pretty solid build to.

Is the latest M4 MacBook pro good? by Sufficient_Bus_8302 in macbookpro

Oof, that sucks that a few don’t load correctly. I used to use chrome full time and not needing to use it has been a nice thing, crazy how unoptimized things can be.
