11. Sideloading MacOS style

12. The ability to change app icons without shortcuts

13.the ability to change the Notification dot from red to another colour

14.Split View

15.more free background activity (be able to download a movie from telegram or Netflix while the app is in background )

16. Close all app button

The battery may be a problem But the price it’s fair See if the seller can sell it at 900-1000 Due to the battery

If you mean the Base model pro, I suggest it, It has More ports and a Fan which may help a lot with heavy apps and games. I don’t get people who complains about fan noise I use to find it relaxing if it’s quiet. And MacBook one is very quiet as far as I noticed from other people’s Macs (I have an Air)

16 go of ram will be enough

Yes

It’s not a glitch or sort of it’s just a feature of macOS sonoma ( which personally i disabled) when you click on the desktop hides all the tabs in order to let you grab files and move folders on the desktop without having to switch desktop

You can easily fix that in the setting(i’ll post here a screenshot soon as i can)

Just install GBoard

Am i the only one that likes it and uses it often?

I have the SE and it only lacks the AOD And a better battery life. Otherwise it’s great

Just close the window chrome it’s already there

Congrats for the Mac , if you need any tip feel free to ask

Yes but Apple prioritize design over function. So a sticker may feel less premium

And I don’t think you can use the same glue that they use for the paper screen protector.

Are you sure an Air 15” isn’t enough for you?

It’s very powerful even fanless for your needs and Air Would be enough I think, you can max it out spending way less than the Pro And it’s very lightweight and easy to pick up. It would be basically half the cost of the maxed pro

But if you want a pro with a big screen, an M3 pro chip instead of max would be cheaper.

Or maybe an M1 Max, will be enough

On cheaper phones it is printed on a piece of paper glued to the phone, it’s very ugly but it’s removable.

Congrats

14” M1 pro may be the best option.

Or June or between October and December 2024

Even if I’m scared by the possibility that Apple may Not release an M3 MacBook Air until the M4 Like iPhones

8gbs of ram on Mac are okay, you may not be able to run 2 VM at the same time while compiling Xcode But I can open 10 apps and none of them crashes with 8gb of ram , even an app emulated via rosetta2. I will never get 8gbs of ram again but, it’s not so bad as it seem

I personally wouldn’t buy a pro 13” because it hasn’t anything pro (at least the one it’s sold RN)

I’d go for the pro 14” M2 which supports more external displays, has hdmi, sd ports and thunderbolt port, Big Miniled display and starts with 16gb memory and 512ssd (1,41Kilos) for 2500€(tax included) my country like 2,642$ I won’t buy a 16” because it starts at over 3100€ Which is way to much

I spent 1650€(1743$) on my air 15” 8gb 512gb 10 cores (by default) (On Amazon sales, that sadly doesn’t sold higher Ram models, whose only Apple sells at 2000€ )

It weighs 1,51kg and even adding a case and a “bag” I can easily lift it with my pinky finger. But if until I can use 2,3 or more fingers it would still be very light for me.

But since M3 is probably going to be announced in Hours(5pm in the us 2am tomorrow here) I’d wait a little before choosing. Anything Mac related.

All Macbook with M chips are all very light

I hope i got the question.

Pro is Very portable too espresso if you’re talking about 13” models

Pro 14” m1 is lighter that Air 15” (that I can lift with my pinky finger without effort)

Fans can be very useful. I bought an Air in order to save 800€ on the pro 14” m2

15 has also 10 cores and a little more battery, better mics and speakers
