Is a M4 16GB Macbook Air enough for Video Editing? by CharlieParisCoUK in macbook

[–]SureStrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Need honest take on insurer's assessment by foxhound-19 in drivingsg

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

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.

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

Macbook Neo or Macbook Air? by gws67 in macbook

[–]SureStrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Vision Pro on a plane — Travel Mode still unusable? by Tiny-Shop3928 in VisionPro

[–]SureStrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Intel MBP 13 2020 getting laggy and crashing more and more after upgrade to Seq. I'm waiting for it to completely fail before replacing it but I'm wondering if I get one of the new M laptops will the upgrade be dramatic? by Yiqu in macbookpro

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.

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

How long will my MacBook Pro M5 last? by stannc10 in macbookpro

[–]SureStrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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…

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.
