Got a new M1 Mac Air at work this week. So far it is awesome. Haven't had an Air in years.
Sorry about creating an extra topic. I am figuring out zulip!
All good on the new topic! One cool thing about Zulip is you can move messages/threads to different topics after the fact, so it's low risk to just create a new one and let somebody else who's been hanging around longer re-categorize things when appropriate.
Also, is it an M1?! Because I think they're on M4 or something by now...
Yeah, I know. I have an M3 pro that I usually use for personal stuff, open source and school.
Carrying around the Air is nice though, even if it's an M1. Very light in my backpack.
Yeah my wife has an Air and I'm sometimes jealous of just how portable that sucker is
I am still hanging on to my m1 air but I think I am going to upgrade to the m4 this year. I like the smaller sizes. I miss my tiny 11 inch macbook air and wish they brought it back. Having said that my eyes have gotten worse since I had it so maybe I wouldn't enjoy it as much. I used to love that thing though. The best machine I remember.
I use an M3 Air as my main machine, plugged into a 43” monitor. Love it. Sometimes I do wonder how much quicker a Pro would be at compiling Rust code, but there is something so mentally satisfying about the Air that I wouldn’t want to switch :smile:
I use a mac mini as my desktop and have my mac mini as my "upstairs computer". It gets used more than the mini in my office.
