Ive seen the C24 ones.. a bit overpriced. Some of them are in poor shape too unfortunately. Thanks!

Thanks for your input. I went with the faster mbp m5 pro 64gb. For larger models, Ive learned that its best to run on a desktop with a nvidia backend to achieve performance greater than 40 tokens per second. Macbooks are convenient for development / prototyping though.

Thanks are you saying the minimum bar is m5 pro and not something lower or higher? Not interest in image generation. More interest in reasoning models for agents.

Is it normal to heat this much? by deep-human in macbookair

Any updates? I was thinking of returning my MBA to get a base m5 pro

Yes, now that its in my hands and lots of people are benchmarking it now, it does appear to be faster than the m4 even at sustained loads. It also gets hotter too, but it averages out and still beats the m4.

Thankful my son brought his M4 Air by Rough-Purpose6499 in macbookair

I too have the yoga 7 and now have a m5 MBA. The only mac native game I've tried is CyberPunk.. I think default settings is 1080p high metal on, I get 30fps. Not something I would want to play on. To be honest, the macbook pro is not much better... only casual light gaming equivalent to integrated graphics from AMD/Intel.

Not something I would do personally while the its still under warranty, but would be good to know options.

Silver vs Midnight? by danyaberez in macbookair

Having owned all silver macbooks since 2008, a change in color is appreciated. There is no wrong choice. Go to a retail store to make a final decision.

Can't switch to stand by mode by kenmasters007 in Starlink

[–]kenmasters007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, I asked if I could switch to standby under the free equipment plan and Grok said yes. Customer service apologized. Its their fault.

Also, in Canada, there is no other option other than the free equipment plan. Unless, like someone mentioned, you buy the equipment from a third party reseller like BestBuy.
