    It has been so long since I've played WoW in any fashion. I played that game from the EARLY days when MC and then BWL were the end-game content. Where you'd have 40 person raids in those dungeons. Where you'd hope you were lucky enough to get a piece of the epic armor or weapon for your class and you were the one next up on the "who gets it" list in the guild raiding party. Oh, back then we had to walk to school barefoot through chest-deep snow, too. And we LIKED IT! LOL.

    I'd love to see X-Plane 12 (Flight Sim) in 4k on 3 monitors. It's a tall task because it requires a fair amount of hardware (yoke, rudder pedals, & throttle quadrant) and ideally, someone with flight sim experience. However, if you have a friend that has a flight sim setup like this and the only thing missing for this test would be your M3 Max and a few cables, it would be an easy test to set up. Although high frame rates are not super critical with typical flight sim use (30 fps is good and 60 fps is great) flight sim programs are notorious at not utilizing multiple graphics cores and putting 90% of the load on just one core. Historically, this has meant big, powerful gaming computers with lots of fans and liquid cooling; but when Apple introduced the ARM approach and M1 came out with the promise of (then) future 3 nm technology, it made me wonder if Apple might be able to tackle the problem with efficiency rather than the brute force approach of powerful, hot CPUs, GPUs, heat sinks, etc. To be able to use a single computer (MacBook) for both mobile and desktop applications, as well as business, personal & fight sim work, would be SO much more efficient to the work flow than having to have a MacBook for general computing and a dedicated PC monster for flight sim work. Not to mention not needing 2 separate work stations. It's a lot. I know. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Either way, thanks so much for the great work that you do!

    upgraded from a MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM to the same model, but in Black. When I was using the MacBook Air, my memory pressure was consistently around 7-8GB. Now that I've upgraded and am using the same apps, my memory pressure is at 28GB. How does this even make sense? Do you think that because I have more memory, these apps are utilizing more of it? Now I feel like I should upgrade the ram even more, but everyone I talked to said I would never use all 36GB of Ram

      14" on m3 max is probably pointless. m2 max on 14" throttled quickly from videos i have seen and m3 max is probably hotter in the same chassis. i would recommend an m3 pro 14" or m3 max 16"

    I prefer console gaming and I do still think PCs are better gaming machines overall, largely because of game availability. However I also have no doubt the M series are very powerful chips. I have an M1 MacBook Air, an M1 Mac Mini, and an M1 iPad Air. I love them all but the iPad Air is just so much more powerful than any previous iPad apart from the Pros that also have M1 chips. Game changer for me. I feel like I really dont need a laptop anymore. Honestly if I had bought the iPad AIr before the MacBook Air I would not have purchased a MacBook Air. If they update the iPad Air to have the M3 chip I would probably trade in my MacBook Air and IPad Air to get one.

      @@harveysmith4424 The amount of power the M1 series of chips provided moved the iPad into a whole new category for me. For example I do quite a bit of video editing. The iPads have been capable of doing it for a while but now I can connect external SSD drives to the iPad Air, and use all of the footage from those drives, edit and render back to the external SSDs. Most importantly of all the software runs extremely smoothly. No hesitancy when scrolling through clips, everything is extremely responsive. It performs just as well as the laptop and desktop does while performing those same tasks. That has never been the case with previous iPads I have owned. Like I said I really dont feel like i need a laptop anymore and use mine a lot less than I used to.
