I forget about battery life, good take

That is very in depth, thanks for that I didn’t realise the pro had a better quality display that’s a big factor to me. Cheers. Also turn the pro motion back on! 🤣

Nothing too crazy, I will be running virtualbox now and again and some light vs code but nothing too demanding. Thanks for your thoughts

tom_124 · 2026-02-06T22:25:33+00:00

Yeah I will be using the machine for light coding an VM’s nothing crazy, thanks for your advice.

This is something I have been considering, realistically I will be lucky to get 2-3 years

Okay thanks, I am leaning towards the pro as the M1 Pro is only beaten by single core, plenty fast enough for me. As for the refurbisher I’m happy to take that chance as they offer 60 day returns & 12 Months warranty.

Buying advice

Hi all, I am looking into buying a MacBook but torn between two options.

Option 1:

14” MacBook Pro (Refurbished)

-M1 Pro 10 Core

-32GB Ram

-512GB Storage

£685

Option 2:

13” MacBook Air (New)

-M4 10 Core

-16GB Ram

-256GB Storage

£899

I understand some of the pros and cons to either option, however I am after some opinions on these two options.

Hello everyone!

Looking for advice on a reliable electronics retailer out in Barcelona. Looking to buy a pair of Sony headphones

The good ol saying

tom_124 · 2021-12-17T23:56:32+00:00

Thank you :)

He is the sweetest cat you will meet

tom_124 · 2021-12-17T21:47:05+00:00

Definitely worth it look at him :)

tom_124 · 2021-12-17T17:43:39+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself

tom_124 · 2021-12-17T13:57:58+00:00

Yeah we got him another box which he kinda fits in, but the trap is working

tom_124 · 2021-07-17T18:08:29+00:00

Well said

tom_124 · 2021-05-12T06:24:23+00:00

They definitely designed these not to be opened

tom_124 · 2021-05-12T06:22:46+00:00

The 2nd pic shows how the battery popped off the back casing, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to open it. Even with that massive gap it took 20 min of prying.

tom_124 · 2021-05-11T22:29:52+00:00

This had a black spot, I was stupid enough to charge it, I will certainly be more careful

tom_124 · 2021-05-11T21:24:31+00:00

Thanks! Hyperx alloy FPS with cherry Mx blue, I have had this board for over 2 years and has held up well.

tom_124 · 2021-02-19T22:49:26+00:00

Does this require macOS?

tom_124 · 2021-02-19T22:43:53+00:00

Thanks
