Monitor buying guide (mega-thread) in Computer Peripherals ·
Thanks, guys. In that case, I'll just stick with what I already bought. 👍

I've been running an old Mac Pro i7 for nine years now, and honestly, it hasn't let me down once... 🙏 I'm really hoping this new Air i5 treats me with the same kind of longevity.
Monitor buying guide (mega-thread) in Computer Peripherals ·
I picked up a MacBook Air about a month ago, though I haven't even unboxed it yet since I've been sticking to my old Mac Pro. 😁
Anyway, I just saw on the news that a new MacBook Air with the M1 chip has dropped, and the price point looks identical to what I paid. Now I'm torn—should I just head back to the store and swap mine for this latest model? To be clear, I only use my laptop for basic personal stuff like browsing the web; nothing high-end or professional...

Is it actually worth making the switch, or should I just stick with what I have?

13-inch MacBook Air
Retina display with True Tone
1.1GHz quad-core 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
8GB 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory
512GB SSD storage
Intel Iris Plus Graphics
Backlit Magic Keyboard
Touch ID
Force Touch trackpad
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports

Specs for the new one if I decide to trade up:
Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU, 8‑core GPU, and 16‑core Neural Engine
8GB unified memory
512GB SSD storage¹
Retina display with True Tone
Magic Keyboard
Touch ID
Force Touch trackpad
Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports

To a layman like me, these specs look pretty much the same. 😁
I've heard some chatter about how the M1 doesn't even have a fan, but then there's talk about the memory being different, or something... honestly, I have no clue. I could really use some advice here... 😁
Dealing with a problematic family member—what should I do? in Psychology & Therapy ·
You really need to report this immediately before he does something irreversible to someone else or ends up hurting innocent people. This kind of pathology doesn't just stay static; it escalates every single day. If you wait, it might be too late. Just file a report—you can always do it anonymously...
Man, what an absolute psychopath. 😲

P.S. What is that on your avatar? 🍿
