    Where did your M5 MBA come from? China or Vietnam? Was it bto?

    My M5 MacBook Air came from Vietnam (Product of Vietnam) rather than being the usual Made in China. I’m not complaining, although it’s been an expensive investment and I wouldn’t like it to have defects… for now I just find the keyboard a bit mushier than it used to be on the M4 (made in China)...

    Which M5 SoC should I choose for local LLMs such as Gemma4?

    …without breaking the bank. With the release of Gemma 4 and everyone going crazy with the 31B and 26B models, my hype for local LLM experimentation has rocketed again (after a frustrating experience with LM Studio on a 16GB base M5 weeks ago). Seeing that local models keep getting better and...

    Advice needed - MBP Pro M4 Max - buy it or M5 or wait for M5 Max?

    I’m contemplating a purchase of a new 14-inch MBP for a few months already. I did my research and I decided to go with M4 Max (16-core CPU, 40-core GPU), 64 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage as this setup will allow me to do some of my work with ML/LLM/AI locally. I can get this config for ~4850...
