I haven't owned a MacBook in like 10 years, I decided that I needed one. So far I'm loving it, I got the 14' M3 Pro, 12-core, 1TB. £2499 right out my asshole + £99.99/yr AppleCare. I don't think I'll ever be able to justify the price tag, but I'm still glad I got it.

I've got the same one but with 512 ssd

No love for the Air? It's thinner, lighter. I use it on my bed instead of an iPad because of the integrated keyboard and MacOS. I'm tented to try the Pro next year because of the better screen, but it's quite thicker and I don't really know if it's going to be as comfortable to use.

I was considering the Air as well but opted for the Pro. I feel like the Pro has just about the right thickness to my liking, I wouldn’t even describe it as thick, yet it also has the some weight and durability to it. It’s been really comfortable to use.

Question regarding resolution in Macs. Does the resolution set in system settings affects only the UI or affects everything that's outputted through that screen? Because the default resolution is always lower than the res the screens are capable of outputting.

It affects everything. Same as windows. Which is really annoying to look at when Mac wants me to default to 1080 on a 4k monitor.

The problem with the air for myself is to get an air with 16 gigs of ram and a 522 ssd is a few hundred less than the pro i got with a better screen, speakers, and cpu.

I have an M3 air and my wife has a M2 Pro. The pro weights a fuck ton more and is not nearly as comfortable.

Is there a way to Airdrop files to Mac to a specified folder other than just Downloads and Photos?

Not via airdrop, but you can just drag and drop to the wanted location.

What do you mean? Like from an iPad to a connected external hdd on the Mac? Or do you mean after I airdrop it lol. Sorry I’m stupid please explain to this Apple noob.

Airdrop -> downloads folder/photos -> manually move to intended folder

Yea I already knew you could do that. I will be moving batches of files regularly and would’ve like to save that extra step.

It seems more complicated than it really is.

Has anyone set up retroarch on their Apple tv yet? I'm going to attempt to do it soon.

With this and moonlight + apple arcade it can become a little solid game machine.

I saw that earlier and just said nope. It should already be baked into Airdrop's functionality on Mac, it's not a huge deal but a minor inconvenience.
