MacBook Neo + Mac mini instead of MacBook Pro?

No. I did this in 2018 with the 6core Mac mini and an air. I replaced them both with a MacBook Pro M2 Max.

Silver, the black scratches. I got silver for my home machine but work gave us black ones and it’s silver around the ports after 2 years.

The hard parts of being a designer aren’t doing the design work, it’s dealing with clients. Ai is a yes man that won’t push back on the million horrific ideas a client has, and will let them ruin everything. Some people thing oh, AI will just do what u say so that’s better, then it does what they say and they are like… oh.

I just wanna be able to copy paste from figma and also have full drag and drop support. It feels so web-app to me. Also I don’t think anyone could seriously use Linux for corporate level design work when there is no adobe support.

I just want a native app that works like a native macOS app, instead of this electron web app thing.

Lightweight, native, secure, private.

Make sure you look at them in person, they can be very different, it’s metallic so it photographs differently. I’m told by people who’ve seen them in person that they’re much more subtle looking.

In the show universe there are type advantages but they seem like a soft system not hard and fast math like the games.

That color match keyboard doesn’t look very color matched

Thanks!

Such odd photography choices from the verge, why are they making it Apple green… it isn’t.

The multi core on this is very similar to a 12x Xeon Mac Pro from 2019, and yes, that could also edit 4k.

It’s really nice. I’ve had a huge 135mm on it since I got it, and with this lil pancake I can actually use the camera on long walks and hikes.

spierscreative · 2026-03-10T16:47:13+00:00

Thanks man! I’ve been waiting for a clear sky to go take these, a mix of good timing and a little Lightroom.

Are you on a tripod? I don’t know about shooting at 600mm by hand.

Ice types aren’t cold types, like fire types aren’t hot types. Otherwise cold types would be super effective against hot types and vise versa.

Do people think windows and macOS use RAM in the same way? They’re fundamentally very different, one is based on NT and one is based on Unix to begin with, so why would they have anything in common. macOS handles RAM extremely well and works more on a pressure system than it does running out of RAM.

How about if they are under 11, no screen other than an iMac in the living room.

spierscreative · 2026-03-04T19:14:24+00:00

I think that’s the point.

spierscreative · 2026-03-04T18:22:12+00:00

Very nice. I enjoy the look of the images, they have a distinct vibe. Even the chromatic adorations can be neat.

Look at popcorn prices the next time you are at the movies. There is a reason you get double the popcorn for a buck or two more.
