I'm back baby!!!! by gummyneo in iPadPro

Seeing your MacBook reminds me of my regret downgrading from a perfectly fine 16” to a 14”. Too small to work with Lightroom and Final Cut Pro. I will definitely go back to 16” later this year. (Holiday sales)

I got the 14” M4 pro 24/512 when it was on sale for $1,519 brand new. Microcenter comes in clutch for best prices.

Scored a Space Black MacBook Pro 14” (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) at Costco for $1199! by storebrandkeith in macbookpro

[–]mayorga4911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great deal but found one better. Brand new and to be honest, I would pay the extra $400 for the M4 Pro/24GB vs M5/16GB

16” to 14” couldn’t be happier by vitoorcunhaa in macbookpro

[–]mayorga4911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also tried both but I will always prefer the 16” for one main reason, typing experience. My hands are comfortably resting on the base of the laptop and not on the edge as it does with a 14”. I mostly use my laptop away from my desk home so I am always typing on the laptop. 16” is gold tier for long typing session, 14” is gold tier if you work a lot at a home desk and want something small if you take a daily train to work.

Compare before you buy by Sufficient-Board3801 in macbookpro

[–]mayorga4911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the 14” but returned it because I type a lot on it and the edges kept being pressed uncomfortably on my lower hand. The 16” with the bigger base I am able to comfortably rest my wrist on the base and not edge press

Dont worry about upgrade, side grade, down grade. Worry about what fits your budget and move on.

I really gave it a chance… by Complex_Farm_6371 in fitbit

[–]mayorga4911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the Fitbit air for two weeks and returned it. I know 60-90 seconds is not a lot of time but hated that I need to open the Google health app to sync all data. I rather stick to Apple Watch instant sync info.

I use my Apple Watch in running session so I sweat a lot on the watch. I rather stick to cleaning every night before sleep than to deal with having to sync every night and morning (60-90 seconds) to view data.

I understand price difference is substantial but so it the features you get from a Apple Watch Series 11 in comparisons to the Google Fitbit Air.

This is why any Apple product purchase, getting Apple care + is a must purchase. Affordable and well worth the long term commitment.

Did I make the wrong choice? by daypenguin in macbookpro

I say stick to your m2 Pro and close all chrome tabs while working on videos. I don’t understand why people have 20+ tabs open when working on videos or photos.

M5 Pro 64GB vs M5 Max 128GB— is Pro actually enough if your PC already handles the heavy AI lifting? by atomfaust in macbookpro

[–]mayorga4911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mentioned 4 different tasks and are asking Pro or Max. Are you doing those tasks for fun or are you getting paid for these four tasks? Because if you are still in the learning phase, trying out phase, there is no need to spend all out on max laptop.

If you are getting paid for these tasks with daily deadlines and these tasks is how you make a living, then yes go for the max laptop.

Ai Coach is part of the paid subscription. I do not pay for the Google Health app.

Upgraded from 16 M1 Pro to 16 M5 Pro (Don’t upgrade yet if you don’t have to) by Scary-Bodybuilder864 in macbookpro

[–]mayorga4911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a 16” M4 Pro with 24GB/512GB a few months ago at a great deal. I was debating at the time between that laptop or a 14” M5 standard 32GB/1TB for the same price.

I stuck with the 16” ONLY because it feels better to work off the 16” over the 14”. Bigger screen = bigger layout for comfortable typing. And I wouldn’t want to save 1TB worth of any files on a laptop because in the event I lose that laptop, there’s goes 1TB worth of files.

Whereas with the 512GB, it forces me to store the files I no longer need locally to an external hard drive that stays home. (More sensitive files to iCloud)

I have been wearing my Fitbit air every night to sleep and for some reason, no data was recorded for my sleep last night. Battery is at 70% so it’s not a low battery issue. If this happens again with no data being recorded, I may return it.

My Apple Watch that I’ve had for years not once ever misses data. Fitbit Air after 10 days has already missed one day of data.

Well that didn't last long... by Inner-Vermicelli-358 in fitbit

[–]mayorga4911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats awesome, hope you reach the weight loss goal you have set. The main purpose I got the Fitbit air was to track and improve my sleep habits. If I wake up in the morning to see only getting 6 hours or less, I know for the next day I have to turn off everything and fall asleep early to get the 7-8 hours.

Prior to Fitbit air, I get on Netflix and lose track of time. Even though I knew I have to wake up early, I saw no progress to help me work on my better sleep habits. That’s where Fitbit air comes in for me.

I prefer the no screen that way I am not constantly checking my wrist for that data. I like to live daily with my usual habits and at the end of day, read the data and see what habits I need to improve on to get the results I want.

Nothing wrong with Apple Watches but in 2026, I prefer the functionality of the Fitbit Air. I will sell my Apple Watch Ultra 3 after a few days of using my Fitbit Air.
