  • You can always get the battery swapped for a new one on your 13 Pro should it ever not get you through the day.

    I have a 16 Pro so upgrading is probably kind of pointless.

    I will say that the base model 17 looks pretty decent once prices at online shops come down a little. Finally you get the 120 Hz display.

    I like the slimness/weight of the Air. The only thing really missing for me is the ultra-wide lens (also for macro photos), battery life would probably work out for me and other compromises are minor.

    The 17 Pro isn’t a huge upgrade year-on-year, but they finally completed the transition to all 48 MP rear sensors, finally got a decent cooling solution and increased battery capacity (and 12 GB RAM). It finally feels pretty much complete instead of Apple purposefully holding back features. Bit of a bummer that we get the SIM tray version in Europe though, I’ve been using eSIM for years so the larger battery capacity - while I don’t need it in most cases - would’ve been appreciated.

    I’m kind of holding out for a foldable iPhone anyway.

    But back to you: what are you missing from your 13 Pro?





  • I wouldn’t say we’re over-reliant on Steam, but maybe on Valve to some extent.

    If Valve would suddenly stop all their work on/around Linux, that’d certainly affect Proton and also things like the open AMD GPU drivers. Sure, others would likely continue their work (it’s not like they’re doing it all alone now anyway), but Valve certainly brings a lot of expertise and also commercial interest.
