The ridiculous complaints about the M2 MacBook Air
If you spend any amount of time researching the M2 MacBook Air, you’re going to come across four “issues” that tech reviewers can’t stop rehashing. Some of the rhetoric may even lead you to believe that the new version of Apple’s most popular computer is not worth your money.
I’m here to tell you why these complaints are completely overblown and, in most cases, not even worth considering.
What’s the best Mac for audio production?
The more I’ve thought about the current state of Mac desktops, the more glaring the lack of an M1 Pro option has become. Most of the tech pundits I follow focus on the video capabilities of Macs, so they’ve all been blown away by the Mac Studio with its M1 Max and M1 Ultra options…and rightly so.

The new iMac: Who’s it for?
The rumors were true. Last week, Apple announced the first complete redesign of the iMac since roughly 2009 (or 2007, depending on who’s counting). As with most new Mac announcements, you might be wondering if this is a good time to upgrade or if you should keep waiting for the next thing.
60-Something Days With the M1 MacBook Air
I’ve posted a bit of information about the new M1 Macs but I hadn’t yet shared my own personal experience. My M1 MacBook Air arrived the day after Thanksgiving, so I’ve had just about 2 months with it. Now that the honeymoon phase is over, here are my impressions.
M1-Based Macs Have New Startup Modes: Here’s What You Need to Know
For many years, Macs have relied on sets of keys held at startup to enable specific modes, but that’s all changed with the new M1 Macs.
Flash Is Dead—Uninstall Flash Player to Keep Your Mac Secure
Since Adobe will no longer be addressing security vulnerabilities in Flash with updates, I strongly recommend uninstalling it from your Mac.
Apple Unveils New M1-Powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini
Continuing its pandemic-driven approach of short, focused announcements, Apple once again took to the Internet to stream its “One More Thing” event. On center stage this time was the Mac, or specifically, three Macs, all of which replace the longstanding Intel chip with Apple’s new M1 chip.
