Matt MassicotteI happened to have access to an M4 MacBook Air, so I tried out building the Swift compiler. It took ~ 1.5 hours, which is a full hour faster than my M1 Pro š„²
Badly-read literary snob@mattiem wow, sooooo Iāve been debating between a 15ā MacBook Air or a 14ā MacBook Pro. Looks like Iāll be OK with an Air
@RosaCtrl Iāve been toying with the idea since doing this. Iām also facing hard drive space issues which is a real problemā¦
I think the air is an incredible form factor. I just love the portability!
lawbecke@mattiem @RosaCtrl I started a new job a while back and they gave me an M4 15ā Air- itās mostly been fine, but I notice it bogging down under load way more than my personal M2 Pro. Could be all of the corporate security crap (or that Iām pushing the GPU with 2x 4K monitors) but Iād personally be a bit cautious. Love the form factor though.
Puppethead@RosaCtrl @mattiem With Apple Silicon I went MacBook Air and never looked back. Because theyāre so inexpensive I upgraded every year (until now, staying put with my M4 Air). I donāt need all those legacy ports, and only two thunderbolt ports hasnāt been terrible. I do use a thunderbolt hub in my office with external displays.
Oleg Shanyuk šŗš¦@mattiem wow. Didnāt throttle?
@gelosi Iām sure it did! But I didnāt really notice any particularly hot spots and it clearly performed wellā¦
Rob Fahrni@mattiem Hey, that M1 Pro is still an incredible work of art and performance!
My work computer is an M2 Pro and itās incredible! My biggest issue is I keep running out of drive space. Other than that little issue itās the best computer Iāve ever had.
