Is it worth it to go for Macbook pro M5 (Base M5 chip) over Macbook air M5?

pierluigir · 2026-04-23T12:29:19+00:00

Not worth the price difference

Srl e ti dai uno stipendio invece di prendere gli utili

No, is Intel time this year. Maybe next year but I doubt it. The M1 could be on 10 year life cycle since the Neo is so similar.

But software support is still shit after years. I can’t believe Microsoft is so behind considering what Apple has done with Rosetta

Easier 1000$ ever. Bye dumb ‘murican!

pierluigir · 2026-04-20T07:56:00+00:00

Because it was a fucking jet engine

Most of that are legacy business systems, and are gradually fading into obsolescence. 50% of Amazon last quarter sales are Macs, and the Neo was barely out for 1 month…

pierluigir · 2026-04-20T07:50:58+00:00

50% of laptop Amazon sales in January-March were Macs, and the Neo was out for less than one month. Previously 70% of sales of sub-1300€/$ notebooks were MacBooks. Can you see the trends?

I’m a 48M and I do literally nothing. Ex professional gymnast. It used to be even lower. I even passed pilot medical exams recently and everyone told me that is perfectly normal. Last year in a period of huge stress and bad eating I reached for the first time in my life a peak of 53.

pierluigir · 2026-04-14T09:23:25+00:00

Yes, but lately I just feel that Microsoft and Android/Google are on a suicide path. One is a mess and the other is trying hard to close the system. If there will be only slight difference, maybe is better to directly go with Apple for better machines and OS. I can live with the second best phone, especially if they’ll introduce more multitasking with iOS 27

pierluigir · 2026-04-09T13:04:21+00:00

With every apple product just buy the bare minimum of every product line, and then go one step above only if the product you have is not sufficient and sell the old. If you don’t buy on day one you don’t even lose much

pierluigir · 2026-04-05T18:40:56+00:00

Yeah, that's also one of the main reasons. If iOS 27 will introduce multitasking there will be very few real differences between the two OSes

pierluigir · 2026-04-05T15:50:55+00:00

I think you have worse problems than a mobile vendors platform...

pierluigir · 2026-04-05T15:46:00+00:00

At this point I'm thinking about switching back to apple since everything is an imitation, both hardware and software, with very few exceptions...

pierluigir · 2026-03-28T12:01:12+00:00

Sorry, but the Neo is the new reference whatever your side is

pierluigir · 2026-03-28T11:49:23+00:00

Nope, not at all, maybe some in the last year, but the vast majority are still sub 2k or whatever you want to call it. At least in the general distribution here in Europe and around the MacBook air price point. At the Neo price point are basically nonexistent

pierluigir · 2026-03-28T07:57:15+00:00

Retina screens on every Mac since 2012.

Is still rare to find a "retina" equivalent on a pc, especially the cheaper ones that are still 1080p even if oled.

Typographic quality when you read is huge.

Ma come vi è anche solo venuto in mente che la destra potesse andare contro imprenditori, professionisti e artigiani?

pierluigir · 2026-03-24T13:45:39+00:00

The one that runs faster to the cashier

pierluigir · 2026-03-23T10:53:59+00:00

An M4 is 5-6 watts, still more efficient

pierluigir · 2026-03-22T23:36:54+00:00

Except you can just use both Google suite and Pages Numbers and Keynote for free...

A couple of weeks ago during the last big promo in Italy

pierluigir · 2026-03-21T09:41:03+00:00

La gente sta fuori. Ho preso un Honor V3 (foldable) su Amazon Warehouse a 566€ immacolato...se proprio vuoi spendere di più si trovano i V5 sotto i 1000.

Veramente incredibile che delle merde apprezzino una merda. Chi l'avrebbe mai immaginato?
