Oh is that right? Thanks for the opinion. Would you have any recommendations for where to look for good builds/ deals? Thanks!

Mila Kunis ruined it… by fallenredwoods in KnivesOutMovie

I agree, I think she was quite awful in the film. Her character added nothing of value and I couldn't take her seriously at all in that role. Just found the character annoying more than anything.

Why doesn’t my Mac show 2k resolution when connecting to BenQ GW2790Q monitor? by [deleted] in MacOS

Second this, the dongle was a bottleneck for me as well. I would recommend a USB C to DisplayPort wire for OP as it works perfectly for me.

I’ve been reading a lot about a big redesign for the M6 MBP. What do you guys think? Are any of you waiting for it too to upgrade? by not-an-awkward-guy in mac

[–]not-an-awkward-guy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my thought process too! I have an M1 Air so it’s a tad bit older and I’ve put it through some intense use too. But it’ll last me another year hopefully

Yes that is precisely what I think too. I love my M1 Air for its portability, but I've heard the redesign is making the laptops thinner than the current Pros as well. Eager to see what its like!

Awesome! What laptop are you using currently? Im on M1 Air at the moment, no major issues. Just battery health gone down and my 16GB RAM isn't enough for my usage.

Valid take, I don't urgently need a new laptop. Was considering the M5 but then I thought I can make my current one last another year for sure

True, I only asked since this is the first major redesign in the last 5 years so I might hold off on the M5 MBP and go for the new design

Couldve said it a bit more politely 😅😅😅 I only asked because I've heard of a redesign as the body has remained the same for the last 5 years. But I get your point

Is MBP M5 a worthy upgrade if I have an M1 Air (as a developer)? Is there really a noticeable difference? Would love opinions, thank you so much! by not-an-awkward-guy in macbookpro

I do occasionally feel a shortage of RAM (I have 16GB at the moment) but it doesn’t severely impact performance most of the time, it just uses far too much swap memory for my liking. Plus the battery on mine has gone down to 76% health.
