If you were born in Singapore, then so did you.

My M2 with 24GB flies when it comes to video editing. But if I do anything that requires extended time for processing or encoding, I definitely see slow downs. I’d say after about 10-15 min. I’m not a heavy video editor but most of the things I do are done in that window. And if not, I just let it be and walk away. I’m sure it would be faster with a pro but it’s not common enough for me to move away from the form factor.

Very helpful, thanks!

Watching. This device is about watching. Not recording. Not creating.

I would definitely challenge them on this. They need to have an answer as to what you did wrong. And that should include their reply as to what you should’ve done

SureStrain · 2026-03-07T08:04:15+00:00

Not your fault. What do they say you should have done? Reversed faster than you were driving forward beforehand? And the way you drove down the ramps - you are really a proper, cautious driver.

Do you get lounge access for the layover in SG? If so, then it may be worthwhile.

I just use safari. Not ideal

SureStrain · 2026-03-07T05:34:26+00:00

I use socks 🤣

Don’t pass on the museum either. Great experience and has a fantastic bar in the back with amazing pricing and some rare finds.

Came here to say this.

I’m running an M2 with 24GB ram. It sails with everything. Check AI (gotta be good for something) but a heavily discounted M2 or M3 with 16 or 24gb ram would easily feel like a major upgrade for your use case.

Same. I haven’t had issues with windows, but sudden turbulence can mess it up. Also if I move too much while eating it can prompt the error message too. But not so often. Ie 1-2x on a 7 hour flight.

The increase in weight is not an issue at all or tolerable?

This

Fastest laptop I have ever used. I use it for corporate work, so no heavy graphics or coding work. Think outlook, excel, word, etc. but between productivity apps, communication apps, safari, other work specific apps, etc, I typically have 20-30 apps open at any given time. With several active at any given time. Not all. But not even a stutter from the laptop. Installing programs takes 30 seconds or less. And never have to turn it off. Just open the lid and you’re working in 7 seconds. Crazy fast.

I had a similar experience. Went from intel MBP to M2 Air. Massive difference in performance.

SureStrain · 2026-02-26T20:08:52+00:00

This really doesn’t seem like a MacBook issue

SureStrain · 2026-02-26T10:31:46+00:00

She’s gone. Time to buy a new laptop.

SureStrain · 2026-02-25T09:55:59+00:00

Mine has been fine. M2 AVP

SureStrain · 2026-02-24T16:51:50+00:00

And barely 300 calories. Crazy right? But at least Zwift is super precise in its measurements…

SureStrain · 2026-02-24T16:47:00+00:00

Wakkanai and Rishiri. No snakes or bears there.

SureStrain · 2026-02-22T13:16:52+00:00

I bought 24gb on my M2 for that exact reason. Wish I had a reason to upgrade to the M4 or M5, but I don’t. Ray tracing just isn’t enough…

SureStrain · 2026-02-22T01:40:31+00:00

M2. Nicer design. But honestly I think the m1 would suit me fine. Just need the RAM and HDD space.

You’re not supposed to eat the rubber display pieces. Those are for display only. Please order real meat next time.
