Meet the newest (and oldest) member of the team, Wrecker!

This old 2013 MacBook Pro 15” is definitely showing its age, and is a bit unstable at times, so it may not be around for long.

My new MacBook Pro is arriving today!

What tools/processes do people recommend for cleaning out the cruft from my current machine and then transferring everything to the new one?

Now that my awesome configuration has my rockin' and rollin', I figured it was high time that my received the same overhaul treatment!

Was finally able to get around to setting up Nix Darwin on it, as well as reconfiguring my tiled and transparent windows and custom taskbar! God, I love how can make anything even more awesome!!! 🙌🤘 :apple: :nixos:

@tru Wow, that's what I call intense! 😅

I considered doing something similar since my other laptop is beautifully configured with , but then I decided just to integrate Nix Darwin with my and spice it up with tiled windows and custom taskbar...it's now pure awesomeness 👌🤘😎 :nixos: :apple:

"The M3 ‌MacBook Air‌ is more machine than the average consumer likely even needs"

High praise. I like the sweet spot between the Air and the MacBook Pro.

Only reason to buy the Pro is if you've got a specific workflow that demands it.

I still like 16GB of RAM for future proofing, but not against 8GB to keep the price down.

La durada de la bateria dels amb processador és imbatible.
Des d'ahir a les 16:18 que estava al 100% fins les 22:30, quan al vaig parar amb un càrrega per sobre del 50%, van 6 hores i 12 minuts.
Avui porta engegat 1 hora i 20 minuts i la bateria està al 46%.
En total ja son 7 hores i 32 minuts funcionant amb bateria. I li queda quasi la meitat! brutal 👏
No hi ha cap altre marca que superi a en això.

Nerd-Advice needed: Lots of software does not work on my old (2011) anymore. Any Idea what to install? Simply ? Or should I try , or ? Or something esoteric like Plan 9? The device in question is not in heavy use, rather a kitchen-computer for simple tasks.

"The base model 13-inch MacBook Air with the M3 chip, 256GB of storage, and 8GB of RAM has significantly faster SSD speeds compared to the equivalent model with the M2 chip"

Now do the 15" MacBook Air vs the base model MacBook Pro.

Any insight here, @rsgnl ?

Just made an appointment at my Apple Store to take Apple Vision Pro for a test drive.

Kind of excited.

And since I'm there, will do a side-by-side comparison of the 15" M3 and 14" .

Monday!!! Anything particular I should look for?

"I have a theory that 90% of people who by the base MacBook Air are totally happy with 8GB of ram.

But 100% of the people who watch YouTube videos about MacBooks hate it "

Follow the link for the thread, comments.

I agree with most of this, but I DO think there's value to 16GB.

For folks choosing between the 15" MacBook Air and 14" Pro, they weigh about the same:

15" MacBook Air is 3.3 pounds (1.51 kg)
14" MacBook Pro is 3.4 pounds (1.55 kg)

"M3 MacBook Air benchmarks match base MacBook Pro, as expected"

14" base model M3, 8GB/512GB MacBook Pro:
• $1,599

13" base model M3, 8GB/512GB MacBook Air:
• $1,299

15" base model M3, 8GB/512GB MacBook Air:
• $1,499

Leaning towards that last choice. I think I'd rather have the slightly larger display than the extra ports.

Thoughts?

My mother’s MacBook Pro (2017, non Touch Bar) intermittently dies with a “startup disk not found” error (blinking folder icon with a question mark). My latest hypothesis is that it happens when the battery is above about 85% charged. I have replaced the battery but no change. Anyone heard of anything like this?

des praktischen, kleinen und leichten 35W Doppel-USB-C an einem M3 Max 36GB RAM, das mit einem deutlich grösseren und schwereren 96W Ladeadapter ausgeliefert wird. Erfreuliches Fazit: Funktioniert, ausser bei sehr hohen, langandauernden Lasten. Der mobile Nomade freuts! 😃

Quick question for anyone:

Just fired up my old (2011 model) that was working fine 6 months ago (has been kept charged), and am getting all sorts of bad things on the display.

It is full of tiny black lines running horizontally, and entire desktop is offset to the left about 2”, so I see the left side of the desktop on the right side of the display.

Is my video card shot or does that sound like an operating system glitch?
