The screen and speakers are amazing but my keyboard failed after 4 years and I had to sell it for parts. Also, I don't think apple will support the intels for too much longer so I think an M1 would be a much better buy if within your budget.

Great content. I will look into your suggestions and check current markets in Germany. So far when checking the marketplace in Germany I can’t find a MacBook Air m1 which is ok for less than 500-600€, the Apple Watch 5 isn’t supported any more and with the Air Pods I had a bad experience with the gen 1, they did not connect any more to the iPhone.The iPhone 13 seems a good deal but I heard from other KZbinrs that the 11 pro is a very good option because of the oled display. Any way keep this content coming.

@lucas2nded46126 күн бұрын
Great vid! Couple things I ran into while performing this fix: 1) The USB-C board had 0 clearance to be removed/inserted, meaning I had to exert some force to get the board out and back in properly. The connector's design makes this feasible, as it won't result in the wires crimping if it's loaded moderately. The clearance might vary from machine to machine, as it looks like others haven't had this issue. 2) If you want to test the fix, you might need to complete the reassembly, and plug it in to power. I tried to test the battery's connection before I screwed the back panel on, but it only booted up after the panel was screwed back on and I plugged it in. Thanks again!

@pavelpavlov8143Ай бұрын
Those have some advantages though. First one is bootcamp if someone uses Windows only apps(especially if ordered with large amount of storage is great option).Second is the 16" display size compared to 15" M3 for example.Third one is that it has dedicated graphics card compared to ones with shared ram due to System - on - chip architecture for ARM cpu(If you take M1 with 8Gigs of ram and see the ram usage only by the OS then you realise that 16Gigs is the bare minimum) but go to 16 of memory and 512 of storage and the price gets steep very quickly. Actually it is expected for M4 to be 16Gigs of ram for the base model.And yes the 16Inch macbook pro is now like 4.5 years old which means that if you buy one it needs change of the thermal paste(quite a hassle on this model) and also need the VRM mod but then the performance can be improved a lot. Which leads to conclusion that for this price you can get a decent machine.Cheers.

Even tho im able to do all my tasks from video editing, Music production, and create in blender 3d the new m series Macs are cheaper and with apple you want to be closet to latest out or you run the risk of having a system that is not supported anymore thru updates.

Thanks for your review :) Rather than going for Apple silicon (need native win Boot) in 2023, I purchased a refurbed 2019 4TB SSD / 64GB / 8GB AMD Radeon Pro 5500M cost me less that £1700 - cosmetically not perfect but near. Since upgrading to Sonoma it's faster and I don't experience any lag. Totally agree that Silicon macs out perform what was a beast of a m/c in 2019, but to be expected in 4-5 yrs of development. I've found a few ex Apple engineers/companies that repair logic boards etc, so I'll keep it going as long as is viable. Tech companies need to start designing modular computers across their models that are designed for longevity rather that the current life cycle. The throw-away tech culture pushed by manufacturers is reprehensible - but I guess the huge growth in tech repair/e-waste management industries benefit from the short-sightedness of manufacturers. Not sure I will ever buy another Apple MBP unless they become designed for end user repair/upgrades - I mean why do you need to solder ram onto the board?!?

These are all great points! I see Windows support as being somewhat niche, even though this laptop is incredibly special being the last MacBook to really support Windows. I also am surprised at how much better my M1 MacBook felt faster, even under relative load, and don’t personally see the relevance of the greater RAM amount. I’m humble enough to realize that this is because my workflow isn’t one that takes advantage of all the RAM. Simply put, these things didn’t come up because they’re not in line with my comparative experience with the MacBook 16” and the M1 MacBook to which I compared it to:)

Q: where did you buy your 13 mini? Was it new? I’ve been looking for a new one. I see lots of eBay listings “new in sealed box“ but the units are not actually new. They’ve been activated and reset. And the box is some generic box they had lying around and they’re the ones who sealed it. The listings are incredibly misleading. Would like to find a new one in a factory sealed retail box or even an OEM white box. Thanks for the video.
