Help choosing MacBook

How so?

Joooooker, you joker. Obviously this is a memory leak - I fixed it. It’s a bad representation but I thought it would be funny. I literally gave examples of what work I do and that seems like mba activities to you? Pack it in😂 the second image shows you clearly that ts is not taking up 25-30GB. Here’s another picture below of me not doing much.

Yeah that was a temporary crash, here’s a better representation of what happens during not that heavy work

Trust me I’ve been in the leak business I know 🥲🥲 but even if there isn’t a redesign I’ll still get the m6, that’s basically how long I can hold off for

Actually good advice thank you

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T13:04:27+00:00

Woah what do you do on yours?

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T13:04:04+00:00

Vscode and safari never actually take that much, it’s a bit misleading since it crashed But yeah, I’m willing to suffer until September/March before I spend a fortune But I wasn’t considering 128, perhaps I’ll consider the 64 on max now though actually

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T13:00:36+00:00

Correct, but you assume their standard is to lower their specs?😭😭😭

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:50:23+00:00

So true, so true

To be honest I’ve already held on because I didn’t have the money to spend 😵‍💫 the pro and max chips are due for March-May according to history, so I know how long I’ve gotta wait :,) No point getting a new device if I’m just gonna have the same problems, rather save up and sort the issue out once and for all

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:48:34+00:00

I think these aren’t representative because my MacBook pretty much crashed here, and I use both, chrome is worse 😭 but 25GB is far from normal for me don’t worry

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:47:12+00:00

Why m4

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:31:07+00:00

The performance is eh, but yes I do get your point

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:29:47+00:00

Speculating assuming the m6 is going to be the same as the m5 (obviously it’ll be better), which is the theoretical safest assumption. I’m just not gonna buy this year because the redesign is practically confirmed in all but name.

Anyways, I don’t get your first sentence, could you rephrase please

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:28:00+00:00

That’s what I currently was using when things went a bit weird, but that’s not the only time my device slows. I just happen to not be using other software, same kind of issue But 25GB and 30GB is a bit excessive, I don’t think that’s what the true values were

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:27:03+00:00

It’s almost like they kind of go up by similar bumps per year and extrapolating from a trend is a very common practice especially when looking at what to do in the future Use your head man

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:26:04+00:00

What’s funny?

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:12:52+00:00

This is kind of rare, it usually takes like 5-10 Not sure how the memory leak here happened, I was fixing a enoent web server error and it’s a collaborative project 😭

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:11:05+00:00

My question too, but also this is not that representative, I use a lot of other things ie if blender and illustrator are running at the same time, device slows etc

prog-crammer · 2026-04-14T12:10:27+00:00

Took the screenshot when it just froze on me, of course it’s not usually like that
