So if I was interested in getting a MacBook for the first time which should I look into? Currently I have a 2016 Dell XPS 13 (i5). I don’t use it much save for browsing, some Spotify, and schools stuff so I don’t need something more powerful than that. I was looking into the new Air but I don’t really want to screw myself over in the long run. Also my current laptop is working fine this is more because I’d like to get in on the Apple stuff more since I already have AirPods, XS, and the Watch. It’s all an enthusiast thing I guess. I’m totally interested in older MBPs if those are about as good as what I have and what not. Thanks for the help.

The iPad Mini owns and Apple should probably one day do an iPad Mini Pro but they won't. Cowards

Gay Retard posted:If you only use first party apps, what was it about a MacBook that made you choose it over an iPad? If I didn't need tons of development/design tools, I'd probably use an iPad Pro exclusively. I’ve never had a Mac before so I got a good deal on a MBP from late 2013 and it’s been fun. But the reality is that an iPad Pro would probably suit me just fine.

I was one of those iPad Pro as my computer type of folks and while I still stand by the idea that it can work for people if you can work around some limits I ended up selling the Pro 2018 and got the base MBA. It rules.

I think 8GB is pretty good to get in. I figure the resale on the base MBA should be still decent in three years so I could ideally sell this one and go for whatever the base M1X/M2/M3 or whatever MBA is.

For $5 a month Arcade seems like an "ok" deal and I wouldn't mind keeping the sub if a refreshed Apple TV box that has a major focus on casual gaming comes out next year. https://www.macrumors.com/2020/12/22/2021-apple-tv-rumors/ There was actually a rumor about this very thing that came up.

davidbix posted:BTW, just to make it completely, 100% clear: They don't check for any kind of proof if you use the online educational store. They don't even ask you to select your school like they used to, but even then I don't think they required any proof. Apple doesn't need any proof that you're going to school to buy from the edu store. They just don't make a big deal about it, anyone can buy from there.

What's to stop Apple from just teasing an iMac Pro at WWDC in an all-black color combo? They could even make the Pro not have the chin at all and have it be all screen since that's a pro thing...I guess?

mentholmoose posted:Quick question, I'm looking to buy an M1 Air off the refurbished store and also trade-in my old MacBook Pro, but I don't see a way to use the trade-in option as a credit on the purchase. Is that not just a thing I can do or am I looking at the website wrong? I don’t think it’s an option on the refurb store. Maybe if you call Apple they can do the trade in and then you can use a gift card on the shop?

Rolo posted:Went to an Apple store down the road on a whim to try the MacBook Air out and I loved it. I happened to have my old phone still and got about half the price of it covered with the trade so I pulled the trigger. They also said I could return it within 2 weeks if they do end up updating the Air tomorrow. Giving you a preemptive "thank you for your service" because for sure now Apple will be announcing new Air's tomorrow.

Anyone have any experience with the mail in trade in process? On the day the new Pros came out I was able to find a store close to me that had them available. I decided instead of driving over I’d just do the same day delivery on it. I did the entire thing with my Apple Card and initiated a trade in with my older M1 Air. Got the instant credit and I did get the mail in kit Friday. Now my understanding was that Apple Stores do take trade-ins as well and I’d prefer to go that route to eliminate any potential mix ups or lost packages. I went today to the Apple Store and they tell me that for some reason they can’t take in the Air since it’s not showing up on the order for the Pro for whatever reason. I say fine, I can just mail it in but I decide to call Apple to see what’s what. They tell me over the phone that because I had the Pro delivered to me I have to mail in my Air instead. I can’t trade it into a store. Is this how it normally is or what’s the deal with it? I can mail it tomorrow if need be but I don’t know I rather just take it myself to a store. I might just be worrying too much. Edit: Really thinking on it, it shouldn’t matter if I had it delivered or picked it up myself. Trade ins a trade in. Even on the site it says you can do this:  Edit 2: Spoke to someone else about it over chat this time and I guess the end result is I hosed up and chose to have it mailed in? I don’t know. I’ll just send the drat thing over the mail and be done with it lol. Skeezy fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Nov 1, 2021 |

I assume 16gb is enough for an idiot like me who just does spreadsheets Went with the base everything 14" model. 16gb is more than enough and honestly I don't even use the Pro for what it's made for, I just like how it looks over the Air so I went for it.

So on the topic of XIV, any of y’all happen to have issues using a bluetooth connected Xbox controller in game? I can connect the controller just fine over Bluetooth. The game picks up that there is a controller connected, but when I go to calibrate it nothing works. Am I missing something here? I really rather do this over Bluetooth over getting a long wire so I can sit on the couch when I want to play that way. Edit: Took a bit but I figured it out. This is the way it’s meant to be.

unlimited shrimp posted:I would like a mac for basic video and sound editing. Editing together home movies and kids' projects, basically, but I'd like to be able to play around with greenscreens and such and maybe something like Ableton Live one day. Would an Air handle that or should I look at something with more power? The Air should be able to handle that honestly.
