Now, it's time to get a proper one, but what is the better deal? #asknostr

The better deals are Linux and HaikuOS

Freezy 11mo ago

Sweet .. but the decision to get a Macbook has been made .. sry habibi

Silner 11mo ago

It depends where you are. In the UK the lowest prices item for item are usually found at back market or cex. The apple store is way dearer.

Emergent Behaviours 11mo ago 💬 1

Buy refurbished from the Apple Store

Bronson 11mo ago

To add to this, I'd also say that there's not really a huge noticeable jump between M1 and M2. I'd just go for the M1. If you want brand new though, I think you can only find the M2.

Freezy 11mo ago

This exists? I've only seen the newest versions.

Emergent Behaviours 11mo ago

The downside is you never get the newest version… there’s probably an eight month delay. I guess we have to wait for somebody to return their computer.

But they are like new and work amazing

Emergent Behaviours 11mo ago

It’s also not prominently displayed. They hide it at the bottom.

Your OS, sir.

does this run on M series?!

figs 11mo ago

Yes. Pretty sure it was made just for the M series chip.

Laser 11mo ago

Should, yeah.

crimsonleaf363 11mo ago

Yes.

pleb_world 11mo ago

Any of the Mac Air’s with Apple silicon and 16gb ram will get you through just about any task. Don’t wast money on the pro unless you’re a serious power user.

The Airs are amazing they just start to struggle on the 8gb base ram when you’re doing heavy multitasking.

Freezy 11mo ago

But the Pros also have these sick speakers 🥵 I love not having to use external ones everytime u watch a video

pleb_world 11mo ago

Hey that’s valid! Shame that it’s kinda an expensive upgrade but hey that’s apple for ya. If you’re gonna be happy every time you hear those better speakers then the extra couple hundred bucks spread over the lifetime of the laptop really ain’t a big deal. Treat yo self ! 🛍️

average_bitcoiner 11mo ago

M4 or bust

utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 11mo ago

Now get ready for nostr's macos trash talk

Linux or gfy

DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 11mo ago

Yes, Mac is gay, that's why all the vegans and commies use it 😈🌈

HERMETICVM 11mo ago

If you'd even consider running local LLMs throughout its lifetime: M4 with your RAM selection.

If you don't do video/graphics/gaming/LLM and often carry your laptop, consider a maxed out Air M3. I prefer my M2 Air over my work M4 Pro because it's so much lighter. Just wish Airs would get better displays.

Ape Mithrandir 11mo ago

Unless you are extremely wealthy don't spend nearly $5k USD on a laptop.

Get a used Thinkpad, load it with Linux then build an awesome homelab and load it with Proxmox, for half the cost.

Freezy 11mo ago

I wish I could.. but after touching the pristine build quality of a Mac for a few months I've been spoiled and working on anything else feels like handling some child's toy.

Ape Mithrandir 11mo ago

They do make the nicest hardware but I'll leave you with the obligatory HFSP :hattip_lg:

Fabian 11mo ago

Do you really need this specific spec’s? I mean you could get a new MacBook Air for halve the price and let the other money in Bitcoin. Over the next 5 years this would play out good.

SoapMiner 11mo ago

Get a Dell. Put Linux on it. 🤷

Theophilus 11mo ago

If going this route, nano texture option is great.

Andres Tobacia 11mo ago

If you are interested in a US 🇺🇸 company with all 🇺🇸 parts look into Linux laptops and desktops www.system76.com . It’s a great brand!

Ancap Revolt 11mo ago

I want a system 76 so bad

TheObserver 11mo ago

Take the m1 or m2 chip, way better than the intel one. I have switched from i7 to m1 max 5years ago(i think) as soon as they were available and that thing is still a beast. Instant up still amazed me

Freezy 11mo ago

Yes, that's the plan. Currently using my 2019 test Macbook with Intel and it's still pretty nice .. but I've hear that a 'proper' one with an M series chip is such an enormous improvement .. so I'm stoked to get one.

Emergent Behaviours 11mo ago

They are SO nice. Happy for you!

DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 11mo ago

Get m2, air is great on m2-3

Sysiphuscript 11mo ago

Mac now forces AI on the OS. I’d buy a razer and put ubuntu on it. It will absolutely crush the competition once you get it fine tuned.

Sysiphuscript 11mo ago

Or a framework, and put ubuntu on it.

consumerx 11mo ago

just swapped my desktop for a Lenovo X1 Gen 12, and Ubuntu is smooth af.

consumerx 11mo ago

have fun setting up routes for your VPN. this option is not sufficient. it's kinda misleading people into thinking their connection is somehow private.

SwBratcher 11mo ago

These last a long time and run very reliably. Max out any specs you don’t want to, or cannot, upgrade later. It’ll help it last comfortably as software gets more taxing over the years. I usually get 8-10 years out of one without any growing pains.

Freezy 11mo ago

That's what I was thinking too. I've often seen 6-8 year old Macbooks but I've almost never seen other laptops that old.

Bitlord69 11mo ago

Get a Mac air for way cheaper or a Mac mini. No need to spend more than 2k
