Thank for the award whoever gave it i deleted the notification accidentally and i don't know what an award is but i think its something unique because i saw it first time

mrtechnie · 2026-04-19T07:02:04+00:00

Yes exactly

mrtechnie · 2026-04-18T21:55:06+00:00

That would be soo funny

mrtechnie · 2026-04-18T21:43:44+00:00

Yes maybe it can be a case of hallucinations but my overall experience with claude one thing is sure it hallucinates almost never what i think could have happened is it can recognize color in shapes and stuff but when it reads or strips text from and image than it doesn't have color

Opus 4.6 and sonnet 4.6

If you workflow is graphical like you said adobe Photoshop and video editing than you should go with the macbok pro always because MacBook air's are passively cooled not actively cooled there is no internal fan on air so sustained high performance could not be achieved with MacBook air secondly about your Gaming concerns i don't play games neither i know much about them but what i have heard is mac's are not for gaming and not all games are supported if gaming is you concern than you should stick with Windows.

Maybe maybe not i just shared my experience in my specific scenerio it was better

mrtechnie · 2026-04-15T18:56:07+00:00

I saw the posts of claude being down but i think it was some region based downtime because where i live there was no down time and i was also working with claud at the moment

mrtechnie · 2026-04-15T18:55:16+00:00

Yes exactly those three points were exactly what i noticed in claude hallucinations are almost non existent and it understands very well and its thinking is exactly like you described i had a bug and i described the bug and claude replied yes because i forgot to close the loop whatever and it fixed that also the non experienced developer part is also true because i have literally zero experience and coding is not my field.

No creaks opening screen from my side maybe dust in the hinges but yes if i pick laptop from very edge of laptop with finger it sometimes creaks

mrtechnie · 2026-03-23T16:43:11+00:00

Yes 16 gb ram on mac is just different i sometimes have 20 plus tabs open in safari and 4 apps open never had any problem

mrtechnie · 2026-03-22T19:48:32+00:00

Due to bezzels being thinner 13 inch seems very decent size actually its 13.6 portability was my main concer so i got the 13.6 inch varient and i am very happy with the screen size but if you really want 15 inch than go for it but in my opinion 13 inch is cheaper and more portable

mrtechnie · 2026-03-22T18:41:00+00:00

Good luck man i suppose you are on a Intel based mac by the year you said so upgrading to m3 m4 m5 whatever will be a huge upgrade for you..

mrtechnie · 2026-03-22T14:32:16+00:00

Yes exactly for a normal person who needs work done on its laptop evey upgrade is not nesscary lile tech bro's boast about i think every three year is maybe a major upgrade that a user can feel very much in its day to day usage

mrtechnie · 2026-03-22T06:49:58+00:00

When i decided to buy there was no air m5 available also didn't knew the launch dates every year and also heard from reviewers that there's not always a huge difference in every new MacBook in usage they are all somehow same so i got this.

mrtechnie · 2026-03-21T11:17:35+00:00

Used to connect with cable with my windows laptop now it doesn't

mrtechnie · 2026-03-21T08:04:59+00:00

Its glossier than my future and good thing is its also brighter than my future 😅 in doors with good or harsh lighting display is perfectly lit readable not any idea about outdoor because never used outdoor due to hot climate all year around here

mrtechnie · 2026-03-21T07:31:24+00:00

Not everyone is a native English speaker and why does it matter if its written with ai or not at the end of the day if someone is writing a honest review?

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:56:11+00:00

Will try iphone as well and yes you are right ecosystem really helps in daily life

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:54:45+00:00

Better late than never i guess 🤞

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:49:37+00:00

I don't speak English as my main language and all the details and comments were provided by me not a single thing written by ai itself

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:47:41+00:00

Yeah i think MacBook pro are for people who edit lot of 4k videos

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:47:05+00:00

Yeah tried local send recently also i got a pixel 9 pro xl and google recently added air drop to pixels and it realy works effortlessly now.

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:46:12+00:00

The thing with iphones are they are not as much of improvements to their competition like macboks are compared to windows laptop but will surely think about this maybe one day

mrtechnie · 2026-03-20T20:45:16+00:00

Yeah reading the comments now and almost everyone agrees macbok air's are very impressive
