I just received my new MacBook Air, M2 model, and now have Blocs up and running.
The first thing I have noticed is Blocs is lightning fast. It loads very quickly, and saves quickly.
I have not done much, still configuring this machine, but for anyone looking to upgrade, I would highly recommend this model.
One last thing, the music that comes out of these tiny speakers is amazing!
I think you guys are missing the big picture. Wouldn’t you all rather have an Intel processor so you could slow down and enjoy life? Send me the laptops if they just feel like too much of a burden.
I also think there is a certain poetry to watching a spinning ball and apps that bounce 20 times in the dock before opening. It just gives you an opportunity to slow down and think about life in a more mindful fashion. I don’t have a silicon Mac myself, but I can see the dangers in just getting stuff done without fully embracing every moment of the process.
I use a 2019 iMac but had a 2014 MacBook Air. Fans were constant spinning as was the beachball.
I have Macs that go WAY back to the quadra days, so watching this technology, and Apple, grow, has been interesting to see.
Oppsss…my Apple Watch is telling me I have an appointment.
Gotta run…
Have been forecasting weather, as a hobby, for more than 20 years up here in New England.
I am a weather “hobbyist” with some meteorological training.
Currently tracking a line of thunderstorms heading east into New England.
Currently temp here in NH is 93° with a heat index reading (That is heat and humidity) at 101° which is what it feels like.
Will probably be the hottest day this season.
Sometimes. I’m not a soldering expert but I can fix the occasional Water Damaged MacBook. Apple authorized stores are mostly about replacing the entire part rather than repairing it.
You are correct. Easier to just toss the board, than repair it, though there are pitfalls to repairing them. I was in Manufacturing PCBs for many years. That is a great skill you have!
