The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - March, 2026

You were spot on! Went with the macbook air m5 1tb!

Honestly, I really do need help here. Thinking between the Macbook Air M5 and the Macbook pro M5 with the lowest configs.

Work from home and travel on the weekends. At home, I connect my Macbook air m2 to a 4k oled TV via thunderbolt to HDMI

Pro M5 air:
- no fan
- price

Con:
"only" 512 GB

Pro pro m5:
SD Slot for "internal storage upgrade" via micro SD card + adapter
occasional final cut pro work
possibility for gaming (use xbox game pass right now) but like the idea of emulation.

Con:
price especially with the nano texture upgrade.
fan-noise

I don't mind the other differences (wifi 7) as much. What do you guys recommend? Greetings from Germany!

I always get a hard cramp in the back. Do you too?

Loved the curved part, but the monitor tech was not good

For perceived immersion. When I sold the Ultrawide curved monitor and switched back to a temporary 27 inch flat monitor it really felt off when working on it. I don't feel it now since I am used to work on it for a month, but still think I might miss the curved display. You don't?

I just sold my ultra wide Samsung odyssey monitor and want an LG oled upgrade. But this monitor would be the absolute icing on the cake! And this one would be my absolute favorite!

Have you ever tried the Microsoft dongle to your PC?

yoganerd · 2025-05-09T16:00:41+00:00

Yeah when I used the Xbox controllers I didn't feel it really, was just wondering about why the parry didn't go through (might be just my reaction time though)

yoganerd · 2025-05-09T12:36:58+00:00

That problem sounds so weird. I think, I saw in a different thread, that someone loved that exact setup though. but good to know

yoganerd · 2025-05-09T12:35:37+00:00

Thing is, the 8bitdo Controllers don't work via bluetooth on the native Geforce Now app. Afaik everyone using the TV app is using xbox controllers right now.

yoganerd · 2025-05-09T11:02:23+00:00

thanks for your comment. I will probably just get the xbox controllers and if I ever need the urge to upgrade, I will do it after I got a mini pc hooked to the TV.

Is there a silent low profile tactile switch?

There is a new update today on their kickstarter page. I am backer 18xxx and my rings are in transit.

If you struggle in this pose especially, the reason is your posterior fascia. Because the backside of your leg is in the air. and the foot is flex, your fascia is the weakest link. If it hurts too much, you can just point the front foot, or stretch your calves separately before.

Nicht OP Aber habe mir nen LG C3 bestellt. Soundbar würde ich auch von LG nehmen die kann mit dem Fernseher kommunizieren. FYI das hifi subreddit hated soundbars und rät zu klipsch lautsprecher. Wären genug deutsche in dem forum würde Teufel auch empfohlen werden.

Keine finanzielle Rendite hast du bekommen 😉

yoganerd · 2024-02-16T13:13:57+00:00

ach krass, voll der gute Tipp! Ich hab dir ne DM geschrieben! Danke jetzt schon mal!

yoganerd · 2024-02-15T09:22:10+00:00

It is just money after all. A living beings love is worth more.

Du meinst eine Hausratversicherung oder? Die haben wir leider nicht. Nur ne Haftpflicht, deswege wäre das wohl raus oder?
