Time for an upgrade. Intel to M3.
Mitch Wagner Congratulations! Has your primary machine until now been an Intel Mac?
I just did the same upgrade 8 days ago. I hope you enjoy it and find it as productivity-enhancing as I have.
Manton Reece @MitchW Yep, it had been. Probably should’ve upgraded a couple years ago but now it’s an even bigger upgrade.
Lou Plummer Migration assistant for the win? I was worried I’d have a bunch of apps that weren’t ARM compatible when I upgraded but almost everything these days is at least dual platform.
Alexander Greim The time is right. Most compatibility issues for homebrew packages and native extensions have been solved. That was a hassle in the beginning. And the performance and efficiency pay off anytime.
Penguin @manton Just did that. Incredible upgrade, realized what I had been missing since M1 🙂
Joefrey Kibuule, MD @manton Welcome to the future! Hopefully a good spec too that’ll last you a long time.
R Scott Jones I just made that same upgrade a couple of weeks ago. Quite pleased so far!
Mitch Wagner I’m impressed that the Intel Mac was up to the job—though I should not have been. My 2018 MacBook Pro was mostly running fine, although it was starting to get a bit flaky and I decided to make the upgrade now, rather than abruptly when the MBP failed.
Todor Vlaev Congrats! I think we are now at the tipping point of accelerating Intel’s phase out, as the 2019 (-20?) models start to show their age. At least this is my subjective experience with my work MBP.
Dr. Adam Procter @mihobu docks to the left for the win! I mean I also have switch glass to the right aswell nowadays mind 👍
Gavin Anderegg @manton That’s a heck of an upgrade! Looking forward to hearing about it on Core Intuition!
jden :prami: @manton knowing what you’ve done with an Intel Mac while M-series Macs exist — is a good reminder that the tools don’t matter if you’ve got the real talent.
