    Second hand as in used from this generation? Or second generation? I can't wait for windows on arm to finally fully get there.

    I was seriously considering an m3 pro for the space black color until I confirmed it wasn't passively cooled. An extra monitor would be nice at work but the air is just too great a…

    Same here. 15 pro max and all is smooth sailing. Worst I had it was tethered to a laptop running zoom and a pc running another zoom with the phone charging. It had to stop charging…

    I just switched over to IPhone after a solid three years on a Pixel 4a 5g and am having some adjustment pains with iOS related to lack of these features. Live transcription is anot…

    Ah, yes, the renowned bz4x, or busy forks for the initiated.

    Everything here is accurate. I still chose an EV because I can deal with the caveats, but this helps clarify to me why others wouldn't want to bother. This doesn't even mention acc…

    I like walled garden. Everything appears nice and flowery except for the fact they want to hold you in. You can admire its beauty but can't really trust anything in it due to its d…

    Never Combine and Only Combine when Full. Two missing features that were literally keeping me from upgrading to 11.

    Either mistook the photo of Napoleon Chagnon as the author or has a very dry sense of humor. Too bad it wasn't the latter.

    Hear, hear. M2 MBA 16/512GB here after buying Thinkpads exclusively since 2010 and even modding to get 51NB X62 and T70 boards installed into X61 and T61 Thinkpads. The mba wipes t…

    I've been a diehard Thinkpad user for over a decade now (X201 my first back in 2010). Apple M2 Air is on another level despite not having a trackpoint. Just to add to your list: th…

    The X1 Nano is my dream device with the form factor, keyboard, trackpoint, and 16:10 hd+ ips display all rolled into an incredibly portable package. I used mine from gen 1 release …

    I regularly transition from Thinkpad/laptop and 60-75% standard boards to a 60% split Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, 40% ortholinear planck, and split planck (Let's Split). The only th…

    Well today I learned. I always thought they called it 4K because doubling the dimensions of a rectangle causes the area to quadruple. No wonder "2K" display resolutions confuse me.…

    I suspect it's due to competing with the Dell XPS 17 2020. I prefer Thinkpad due to their keyboards and I am a trackpoint user, but if I really needed 16:10 then I would get someth…
