I’ve been rocking my hackintosh for almost 4 years now. It’s still holding together, but battery life and performance (with battery) are not great, also intel support will be gone soon.
I have to say that I’m not big fan of Liquid Glass redesign, so if I’m getting a new Mac, it’ll be an M4 15” MBA with 512GB and will keep it on Sequoia.
My other option is to move over to Linux (probably Debian), but I’m not confident I’ll be able to find something compelling for a reasonable price with great performance and battery life (mostly because RAM and storage shortage)
Any thoughts on that? On one hand, it’s probably a bad idea to buy a new Mac just to keep it forever on sequoia but I also feel like my laptop will hold me back any time soon.
For a little bit more context: I’m a computer engineering college student, I do programming in different languages, I make heavy use of virtual machines and I like Apple iWork for office related workloads. I have an M1 Mac mini, but I still need a mobile computer.
Yeah, but my 13" Air felt much harder to use after the update (I was running the dev beta back in June, but they didn't change the spacing since) because I felt I was getting far less usable space for almost no benefit. They did finally make those damned window buttons bigger though.
