    MacBook Air 8-core CPU/GPU - 8GB RAM - 512GB SSD just arrived

    As the title says, the MacBook just arrived after I sold my MacBook Pro 2020 i5-10th gen/16GB/1TB laptop. I was a bit worried about getting the Air over the Pro but I really hated the Touch Bar, the fan noise, the heat. So far it is Amazing! Geekbench 5 score GPU: 21187 Installing World of...
