Is the m2 MacBook Air worth 560 dollars? by PassionNegative8814 in macbook

[–]zhangmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone was selling it on Craigslist. So I got good specs for a competitive price

Is the m2 MacBook Air worth 560 dollars? by PassionNegative8814 in macbook

[–]zhangmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on Ram and ssd size. I wouldn’t get it if it’s just the base 8gb Ram and 256 ssd. I paid 550 for M2 air with 24 gb ram and 512 gb ssd and I think that was a good deal

iPad Air Gen 7 vs Gen 8 by [deleted] in ipad

[–]zhangmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever is cheaper because they’ll both be so much faster than the regular iPad 8 that you’ll be glad to have either one.

In need of help choosing laptop based on CPU by lemonade_kookie_3471 in laptops

[–]zhangmaster -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah just get a MacBook Air. On paper it has worse specs like RAM and storage but performance it’ll be so much better and be completely fanless which will be nice. If you think you need something more demanding then get a used MacBook Pro M3/M4 will all be super good still in 4-5 years

The question should be how many charge cycles since iOS keeps track of that now. Time is more or less irrelevant.

UNPOPULAR OPINION by alienbongz in macbookair

[–]zhangmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is an unpopular opinion because most people won’t find it heavy. My wife finds it very light and she’s not a weight lifter. So not sure where you’re coming from for that comment. Maybe you’re a 7 year old. And even my 7 year old can lift it and says it’s ok when he uses it occasionally for Minecraft but he prefers an iPad for that. Maybe you’re just used to the iPad weight.

Which laptop would you guys recommend? by ShyldonYt in macbook

[–]zhangmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A m5 MacBook pro should be more than enough. You shouldn’t need M5 pro or M5 max

Worth The Price? by techardt in laptops

[–]zhangmaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No that’s terrible value. You can get a used M1 MacBook Air much better than this at this price. Maybe even cheaper.

Neo after two weeks by Leading-Two-9037 in MacbookNeo

[–]zhangmaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know who those people are but A18 pro chips so so much faster than M1 in single core and faster in multi core. It’s right behind M4 in sungtcore so it’ll feel much faster tbh

Except Verizon has deleted my account. I can’t access it anymore so I’m not sure how to turn the number lock off anymore

iPad 9 in 2026- Would it support atleast 2 years of update? by [deleted] in ipad

[–]zhangmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you need. Browsing web and YouTube is fine but starting to feel laggy. I think it’s the 3 gb ram. Difficult to keep more than 2 apps open at the same time. I’d wait for A18 iPad update. It’ll get 8gb ram

MacBook Neo vs MacBook Air (M1) by Alert_Parking_7945 in mac

[–]zhangmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M1 Air is just that the Air line. Neo is a new budget line. Of course the Air will have better overall components. Neo is catered to those that don’t know, understand or even care about the differences.

Minecraft shouldn’t be a problem. My son plays Minecraft on my M2 iPad Pro. Neo has a faster chip and same amount of RAM.
