I feel like it’s missing that certain something... the casting, the color palette, the whole setup is great... but it just lacks soul, much like how it felt when I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel. 🙂

Laptop recommendations, please help!

Hi, hmm... for something like that, I think you really need a laptop with a dedicated graphics card—something with a Ryzen processor and at least 16GB of RAM... I'm not sure what kind of budget you had in mind, and since I'm over here in the States rather than abroad, I can't be certain about local price trends... though I've mostly used Best Buy in the past and they seem to have decent deals, so you might want to check there... honestly, if you're doing heavy lifting, it’s probably better to grab a gaming laptop... I don't know how much you plan on traveling with it, but if you need portability, maybe look for a 14" model; if it's just staying on your desk at home, a 15" or 16" would be better. 🙂
Something like this wouldn't be bad... 🙂

You'd get a pretty powerful machine with a decent screen, good graphics, and so on... I think it would get the job done well... 🙂
Then again, this isn't exactly cheap money, so I'm wondering, how much were you planning to spend on a laptop? 🙂

MacBook Pro 14" vs 16" (2021)

The price tag is definitely steep... but honestly, these might be the best laptops ever made. 😁
The only thing that really bugs me is the notch... but everything else feels top-tier. 🙂
I don't think any laptop has ever paired such powerful CPU and GPU performance with such low power consumption. The screen is probably the best we've seen on a laptop yet (1000 nits, 120Hz), the build quality is just as premium as all the other Macbook Pro : 14 models, and the battery life should beat out anything else on the market (except maybe the M1 Macbook Pro : 14, since that chip is so efficient).
Basically, they are incredible machines that cost a lot, but they also last a long time... so I imagine they'll still feel pretty relevant five years from now, especially when you look at the competition like Intel and AMD. 😁
Apple really sparked a revolution with these and the previous M1 laptops... they've truly pulled away from everyone else... I guess I'm not sure what they could even add in future versions besides a faster chip and FaceID (and hopefully a smaller notch). 🙂
A redesigned Air model is coming out next year too... I'm really hoping they release both 13" and 15" versions... they'll probably both have white bezels around the screen (similar to the iMac), though I doubt they'll have 120Hz and they likely won't offer an option for the M1 Max chip, just the Pro version... 🙂
They'll probably have more color options, just like the iMac... and maybe they won't have quite as many ports. 🙂
Anyway, I can't wait to see the first reviews... but based on the announcements, these seem like amazing machines. 🙂
