    I caved and got the MacBook Air M3… Thoughts?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been waiting for the arrival of the M4 MacBook Airs, but due to a (not serious, but annoying) health issue, I needed a MacBook soonish to help with my productivity, so I got the M3 MacBook Air. I have to say, this thing is great. It’s so light and comfy to use from bed. The...

    Costco Mac Savings Event

    Has anyone heard any specifics on Macbook Air deals at Costco beyond what they are currently offering? I’m hoping to get the MacBook Air 15 inch (Space Gray) with 16GB RAM. Right now I only see the 8GB offered. However I do know that stores other than Apple have baseline offerings.

    MacBook Air 15" M2 Thermals - it *should* run cooler

    The 15" MacBook Air M2 should run cooler than the 13" Air M2, wouldn't you expect? With a greater amount of case, Apple should be able to provide better passive cooling. Hopefully tests will bear that out, once folks get their hands on it next week.
