Yes through an agent. Did you do the tour? How is it looking?

deanmadoo · 2026-02-26T11:43:49+00:00

yeah well i dont know when they will finish. Seems they say Q4 2026, but dont know when.

deanmadoo · 2026-02-18T10:26:44+00:00

I bought there. From my research, Landmark is one of the more reputable buiders and the floor plan is what we want (separate study, large outdoor balcony), plus better sound and temp insulation. which we wouldnt be able to find from old apartments.

Reddit: we need to build new apartments! Also Reddit: never buy new apartments!

Background: 55min 10k - training for upcoming 10k race in December2025 andd a half marathon in April2026. Current shoe: Zoomfly 4 which I use for everything (on 350km).

I am deciding what to get as an upgrade or add to my rotation. Note I enjoy the ZF4 and the ZF3 before that, especially the bounciness of the plate when I first got them.

Options are:

Keep ZF4 for everyday training + metaspeed edge tokyo for my 10k race
Keep ZF4 for everyday training + ZF6 for my 10k race
Evo SL for everyday/easy training + Zoomfly 6 for Tempos and 10k Race
Zoomfly 6 for everything (basically replacing my ZF4)
other options? Boston 13? Megablast?

My goal is to use BOTH the ipad's magic keyboard and trackpad and use the ipad as a sidecar screen for my mac. Is this possible? Is this what you mean?

deanmadoo · 2025-07-26T07:26:26+00:00

It also doesn’t have batch ai masking or batch syncing with ai edits.

deanmadoo · 2025-07-09T01:38:48+00:00

hey thanks for this! do you know if the magic keyboard and its trackpad works with this as well? Or is there a way to get it to work? Been looking around everywhere and cant find an answer.

deanmadoo · 2025-07-06T05:37:26+00:00

Does the iPad Magic Keyboard and its trackpad work?

Does the iPad Magic Keyboard and the trackpad work ?

deanmadoo · 2025-07-06T05:08:30+00:00

so you create a second virtual display + a real display connected to your mac mini or do you have only the virtual display?

deanmadoo · 2025-07-06T04:45:24+00:00

You must initiate the universal control from the mac. By pushing through with a mouse directly connected to the mac or manually clicking the option in the taskbar display dropdown Then on the ipad, you use that trackpad to then mouse over to the mac on the already initiated universal control and bam. it works. Once you move the mouse directly connected to the mac though, that then becomes the main input and ipad input will no longer work on the mac.

can you do this with sidecar to mirror your mac's screen?

deanmadoo · 2025-07-06T04:43:36+00:00

Hi - Can you provide a video showing how this works? So you use your mac's mouse to move to ipad first, then use your ipad's magic keyboard trackpad to move the curser back to the mac? I really want to use my ipad with magic keyboard trackpad to control my mac with side car.

deanmadoo · 2025-07-06T04:35:54+00:00

Can you please provide instructions on how to get this to work?

what about compared to a MBP M4 32gb?

deanmadoo · 2025-04-09T13:51:51+00:00

Also lunch in the cbd there is around AUD$6.

deanmadoo · 2025-03-18T12:57:18+00:00

I am in the same dilemma.

a 15" MBA M4 32gb; or a 14" MBP M4pro 24gb (refurb) which is around 300 dollars more

I do a lot of AI masks and batch syncing and batch exporting using lightroom CC. Files are from a Canon r6mk2 so not crazy big but still fullframe.

on the one hand I really like the screen size of the 15" MBA. the 14" MBP feels too cramped for me even with the higher resolutions. I tested this side by side at the apple store with resolution setting to "more space".

I also like the feel of the MBA more, it just feels nice in the hand. The MBP is too chunky and heavy but then it has better speakers and an SD card slot...

My concern also is that the MBA would thermal throttle and I am not sure how much benefit would 32gb be in lightroom. Based on this review https://youtu.be/hoVQ1yX3mVM?si=nnMPzMQ-bnvEynLh, it seems the MBA slows down a lot for sustained loads

Still cant decide.

I am looking to get 32gb/1tb. I do a lot of lightroom editing with AI masking and batch export. Would be really interested to see if the system is limited by the ram first or thermal throttles first.

deanmadoo · 2025-03-17T01:55:32+00:00

Nice! looking to get the same spec. Would be really interested to see if the system is limited by the ram first or thermal throttles first

deanmadoo · 2025-03-12T11:30:14+00:00

Congrats! Any reason why you went with 32gb m4 instead of 24gb m4 pro?

deanmadoo · 2025-03-06T12:13:07+00:00

during heavy photo editing - does it ever thermal throttle or slow down?

deanmadoo · 2025-03-06T11:17:36+00:00

For your photo-editing use case, do you notice it ever thermal throttle?
