10 months agoI like Affinity, but on the go I like pixelmator because of how black and white it is, super simple - but yes, Affinity is great too - I haven’t used bartender in ages and I have heard of Xnip
I bought my M2 13” air and it arrived 3 days before the announcements of the M3s - I got 256gb and 24gb of RAM - I work on a machine all day as a super geek so the last thing I want to do is turn on my own laptop, I gave my dad my 2017 MacBook Pro and I upgraded to the M2 - I will say the RAM upgrade makes a world of difference because oof how Apple uses RAM, but my as for the Storage, on the 256 NAND chip, I am still getting 1700MBps to even 2100MBps on smaller files which is nothing to complain about - yes the 512gb is faster because because it’s splits the storage into 2 NAND chips vs 1 so your performance is better because the workload is split - but 1700MBps is plenty fast for me - the RAM you cannot upgrade later so I maxed that out and I bought a 2tb NVME drive and a thunderbolt 4 enclosure (not cheap but worth it) and I get 3400MBps of write speeds to it and I can game or video edit off of that drive without an issue - I debated returning it for the M3s or even the M1 Pro model but I hardly use it for some network troubleshooting or some basic web browsing, so it made no sense to me - form my I7 to the M2, I hands down love this thing and I would say keep the M2 (providing you have enough RAM) that’s the only thing I will always suggest is more RAM because it can’t be upgraded later
Hope that helps a bit
