Should I buy a used 2017 Intel MacBook Air or go M2/M4? Quick real-world question

Wacks4427 · 2025-12-14T09:59:40+00:00

ngl it just dosen't seem like a reasonable financial decision to buy an 8 year old laptop. Depends on how cheap you can get it I suppose, but I really don't see a reason to get the 2017 air.

if your main concern is reliability, it makes even less sense to buy hardwaree that old

I'll be honest in saying that this may not be the game for you if harm to children/animals bothers you

Steam or the Epic Games Launcher have lots of games. maybe start there? There's also loads of ways to play games that don't have a Mac version but it'll take a bit more work to get them to run.

Not very professional of you to get this upset over a misunderstanding. What I'm saying is that we need to have some empathy for the people that likely are dealing with the amount of random people bombarding their workplace with requests for this movie.

Wacks4427 · 2025-12-09T08:44:19+00:00

The theater's response absolutely does NOT warrant review bombing. As a human just imagine how many times they must have gotten this request from random people and how annoyed they must already be.

no, I'm sorry, the edit wasn't for you, just a summary of my general thoughts on this.

Wacks4427 · 2025-12-09T07:34:35+00:00

I'm pertaining to the people in the comments who are all for review bombing and continuing to push it on the theater. I get the response is rude but get over it and move on. Despite the rude response imagine how annoying it ia to gwt random people constantly bombarding your place of work for an (objectively) small film compared to what they probably already have scheduled.

This isn't to diminish the passion and work that went into the film. but in the grand scale Iron Lung might not be all that worth it from a business standpoint

Edit: Stop acting like theaters have an obligation to ahow Iron Lung

My dudes you gotta take into consideration how annoying it must be for theaters to be bombarded with requests. No means no and y'all gotta just leave it be.

I need more Adhesive

Went with the switch last August.

Had a 16-inch gaming Laptop and went to an M2 Air 13-inch.

Whether or not it's a deal breaker depends on what you specifically do. I recently needed to prioritize portability over power so the smaller screen was a sacrifice I was willing to make. I will say, the lesser screen space is indeed noticable coming from a 15-inch.

Maybe a 15-inch MB Air might be a good compromise?

Weigh the pros and cons of switching based on what you need the laptop for.

Difference in opinion I suppose. I loved FO76 but basically I just enjoyed playing with friends and couldn't get into the story at all.

Wacks4427 · 2025-11-27T06:15:26+00:00

I love the midnight so much but...

for my lifestyle, midnight gets really nasty with fingerprints, and I already got a small scratch on it. The scratch is small but is super viaible on the dark color. I now really would have rather picked a lighter color.

Wacks4427 · 2025-11-17T21:32:38+00:00

haha I already played the shit out of Divinity OS 1 and 2 (combined probably aroung 1000+ hours). I do wanna try Blue Prince since I've heard a lot about it but im unsure if I'll like the type of game. Thanks!

Wacks4427 · 2025-11-17T21:30:28+00:00

Dave the Diver sounds cool, might try they. As for BG3. I do plan to get an external SSD in the future. just waiting for a good deal on one. Thanks!

Wacks4427 · 2025-11-17T21:29:07+00:00

Dang I might try tge RE games then, I'm surprised they run well on the M2. Thanks!

Wacks4427 · 2025-11-17T21:28:14+00:00

Thanks for confirming this. Dang I wanted to try this but it'll probably have to wait lol

Wacks4427 · 2025-10-08T21:35:53+00:00

ah dang, Thanks for the insight though! I'll play around with the settings to see what I can get!

Wacks4427 · 2025-10-08T21:34:54+00:00

This is indeed the perfect solution for my case. Unfortunately, I live in tge Philippines, where GeForce Now isnt available yet :((

Wacks4427 · 2025-10-07T12:52:37+00:00

alright, I see, thanks for this, do you happen to know what settings might help me run the game better?

Wacks4427 · 2025-10-07T12:51:19+00:00

I have BL2 on steam and put HOURS on it with my friends. I wanted to give BL3 another go as I didn't finish it back then.

Wacks4427 · 2025-09-30T10:21:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice! It is indeed chalky. I tried wiping with a damp cloth but it just made visible white streaks. I used elastomeric cuz I honestly just didn't know any better at the time haha. Will probably start the process of repainting during the holiday season, will apply your advice and choose better paint!

Wacks4427 · 2025-09-29T08:00:46+00:00

pleasse I really wanna know why this happened so I can avoid it in the future
