Bit of retail therapy haha

Superlight 2 Dex to replace the G502 X, lighter and no rubber texture. Really happy with the Lemokey P1 HE from my custom Tofu65, an upgrade in every area at a much lower price from when I built it. Going to run the portable as a vertical secondary to a 27" 4K, discord, spotify, build guides, random video stream.

Edit: portable monitor arrived, couldn't run with single USB-C, will get different 90 deg orientation adapters for both later.

How are you enjoying your new Mac?
Hey there! 👊 Guess what? It’s my first Mac 💻! I’m so excited because that MacBook Pro is going to be a lifesaver. I’m really digging the promotion display, the iPhone mirroring, and the fact that I can customise it to run VMs for my work apps like Siemens NX, and also dive into my favourite Roblox games like Super Bomb 💣 Survival, destroy the neighbourhood and super doomspire. Plus, it’s got enough power to handle Xcode, CAD software like F360 and AutoCAD, and so much more! Even multitask and double it up by playing games and doing my work on the same time!

I’m also curious, do you have any tips for someone like me who’s switching from Chromebook and Windows to Mac? Your advice would be awesome! !

It sounds like you already have it under control :cool:
I'll be looking forward to your posts in the forums, but I have a feeling you'll be the one answering questions in no time...👍

3 summer T-shirts as the necks are falling apart on some of mine (which will become gardening clothes). The older gardening clothes will be rags.
Some lightweight summer socks as mine have holes and are threadbare. They will become rags.

Some vest tops and underwear for Mrs AFB as they are also falling apart. These will become rags.

Yup that's the first of the clothes shopping we've done in around 2 years. Hopefully be another 2 years before we have to do anymore.

@goldmac2006 After reading the post from @Lioness~ , I felt bad because I had no specific tips to offer you.

My answer to your original question was meant to complement your skills in learning as opposed to brushing you off. I base this opinion on your posts.

I did not intend to be flippant or offend you.

Looking forward to your questions as well as your usual array of helpful posts in the forums :)
