@@notrottenapple I was thinking about the base M4 Pro 16 inch Macbook Pro. Do you have any thoughts on it since it didn’t make an appearance in the 2000 and 3000 dollar categories? (probably since its 2500 dollars so it wouldn’t match in either of those)

Great introduction! I've been running on mac since '17 and never wanted to return ever since, I've even got my dad into the mac a few years ago and he loves his as well. Only thing that may cause confusion upon googling or buying a mac is that the 2015 macbook did have core M3, M5 and M7 options if i recall correctly (like the mobile version of Intel's i3, i5 and i7)
1:10 fun fact : apple planned a M4 extreme chip for the mac pros which had the combined power of 2 M4 ultra chips (or 4 M4 max chips), but they cancelled it
This used to be true but the new Apple Silicon chips, M1,..., M4 have proprietary instructions which no other chip supports. The days of Hackintoshes are now numbered. Quite sad but it's the direction Apple has been moving for over a decade.
@@foxadee I mean, atheist there are MacOS clones like PearOS, but, let's be honest, mac users just want final cut Pro and iMovie, witch I don't think you can get on non-apple OSes
you could get a 2012 broken down laptop and fix it. an ssd really makes things fast on windows 10 iot entreprise ltsc 2019. better than mac os if you ask me, but since ive never used macos in my life, i cant juge
got a MacBook Air M2 as a Christmas and birthday gift (birthday is 2 days after Christmas) and even though I preferred the m3 pro series this is honestly as good as it is already so maybe in like 3 or so years I could wait and upgrade, to a higher M chip MacBook Air if not maybe wait another 2 years too but yeah, even though the m2 is 2 years old already I would rather wait 3 years before upgrading
Thought these days macs were only good for being workhorses and file managing and web browsing, while its still mostly all they can do, least they can do more on the side, I suppose mac is for efficiency and uniformity and optimization, pc is for, well, pure power, and gaming, and upgradability
And customization, and flexibility, and networking, and workplace management, and compatibility, and developer accessibility. But nevermind all that, I'm sure apple is better.
I googled that PDFelement has won G2 Best Software Awards 2024 - Top 50 Office Products, received ISO 27001-Information Security Management certification, and is a recognized member of the PDF Association. They Implemented compliant certificate-based e-signature solutions (e-Signature Act, eIDAS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR) for secure and seamless execution of digital agreements. So you can use it safely.
I still use a 2012 15” Unibody MacBook Pro, with a 2.6GHz i7, 16GB RAM, and a 4TB SSD. Oh yea, and the laptop (minus SSD) costed C$130. Sadly the SSD fucked itself but that’s what I get for cheaping out on it (I’m saving for a better one). Fun fact: I actually downgraded to it from a mostly base model M1 MacBook Air, because I never used the latter. In its current state it’s as slow as molasses but that’s entirely because I’m booting macOS off a USB stick that can’t even persist USB 2.0 speeds.
That Geekom mini doesn’t really have any ports. It’s got an HDMI, and for some reason 6 obsolete old school type A ports and not a thunderbolt in sight, let alone a proper type C port. Thats going to be dongle city if you have to connect anything, and you know it doesn’t have anything like Air Drop. I missed if it even has Bluetooth, but if it doesn’t I foresee a trip to goodwill to buy an old USB A keyboard and mouse.
I’m probably going to use my 16 in core i9 with windows only until it doesn’t work or when windows 10 ltsc drops support because I can’t really afford an apple silicon Mac atm
quick question, why do you think people should buy Silicon macs instead of intel, when arm architecture cannot do heavy gaming as well as x64 architecture does? (i know that not everyone is gaming 24/7 but mac people think their gaming mac is the best)
@@TheTexanDuolingo It’s because they take it a step further than thorough inspection with refurbishing being that they replace the entire outer shell of the Mac with a brand new one, along with a new battery. It’s like getting a brand new device pretty much!
I wouldn't buy an Intel Mac in 2024. Even entry level M-series Macs are destroying the best Intel macs at this point and Apple is unlikely to continue supporting x86 for much longer in MacOS. I wouldn't be surprised if we stop getting x86 builds of MacOS as early as 2026.
I mean the Geekcom is just a complete joke when it comes to work, speed, noise and heat. First problem the N100 only has 4 cores, second it only allows for 16GB DDR which for a Windows Machine is pretty dire. The base M4 Mac Mini is 4x Faster. Even my Base M1 Mini is over 3x more powerful in Benchmarks. This will run super Hot and I find it hard to see the value proposition with this. If they could sell them at $ 350+ dollars they would but they know the junk they are so they sell them for $ 199.00. The CPU costs over $ 40.00 and thats before we even get to the Windows License But here is the kicker the false advertising because when you look real close you realise its only 8GB of RAM. 8GB on a Windows Machine, good lucj with that . If you fall for this you get everything you deserve.
Im gonna save you 14 minutes, They cost way more thean they should be its a scam for rich people, also you are gonna have constant issues because certain apps arent supported just buy any other normal laptop or pc

Fun fact: You can download MacOS on non-mac machines. It might be a bit hard, but it's doable, so say bye-bye to over £1000 laptop purchases.

A 2012 laptop is not going to even in the same league as an M-series Mac either in terms of performance or battery life.
No, but you're not getting a Mac if you're worried about performance.
The Apple M4 and M3 are currently the laptop chips with the best single core performance.
got a MacBook Air M2 as a Christmas and birthday gift (birthday is 2 days after Christmas) and even though I preferred the m3 pro series this is honestly as good as it is already so maybe in like 3 or so years I could wait and upgrade, to a higher M chip MacBook Air if not maybe wait another 2 years too but yeah, even though the m2 is 2 years old already I would rather wait 3 years before upgrading

im thinking about getting a macbook but i dont know wich one to get i wanna get one with usb a ports
Idk if they have that or not but you can always use an adapter so buy a Mac with a M3 or M4 chip.
But it depends on what things you will be working on
