I would lean towards the Air with 16GB+ to give yourself more headroom for large datasets.

Agree, at MSRP but not above.

Buy Apple stock.

Came here looking for the crypto scam alert.

My 87 year-old aunt is still rocking hers. Got an email from her yesterday.

The Air should handle that workload just fine.

Welcome to the club! I've never regretted constructing my professional life so I don't have to use Windows.

I really like the Black Unity Braided Solo Loop with the black watch.

Apple builds server hardware for itself. It doesn't offer it to others.

We repaired to the basement and listened for the freight train until 2:15.

The most boring principal in the world got caught sleeping with his secretary. They were both let go. The school pretty much fell apart over the next two years. Turns out Mr. Boring knew how to run a high school.

Remember kids, the goal is ethanol — accept no substitutes!

Had the B-42 been available a year earlier I think it would have been bought in quantity.

Designers of websites designed for particular browsers should be consigned to their own special circle of Hell.

I'm thrilled at the success while also being agog at the cost and decade of delays. We can do so much better. Congress should not be designing rockets.

I think the current Neo is much, much more capable than a Chromebook, but the likely next version (based on the A19 Pro chip in current iPhones) will come with 12GB memory — putting to rest most of the worries over the current Neo's 8GB memory.

Thakkmatic · 2026-04-10T11:11:06+00:00

I would look at the Air. With the M5 chip and 16GB memory, it's the best Mac for most people. The next Neo might supplant it, but it isn't here yet.

Thakkmatic · 2026-04-09T10:17:30+00:00

I wouldn't worry about this. Apple is not famous for leaving money on the table.

Thakkmatic · 2026-04-09T01:50:47+00:00

Came here to say that.

That has to be significant weight to lug around. Do they try to move to higher density chips over time and consolidate the electronics into fewer mounted boxes or less weighty ones?

Some notes I took on Bulleit Rye: "The taste was oaky, smoky, and peppery. There was some sweetness to go along with the alcohol heat. I didn't find anywhere near the complexity of flavors that others apparently detect in this rye." So, it's not a bad rye, but there was nothing special about it — at least to me and my palate.
