    16gb Intel vs 8gb M1?

    I’m looking to get an used Macbook (doesn’t matter Air or Pro). I usually have hundreds of tabs open as well as several excel spreadsheets - which my 2015 MBP has been handling - but I want a faster processor. I’m unsure how the processor would affect the RAM usable. Would the 8gb M1 MBP be able...

    Early intel/PPC gaming videos

    I've started making short youtube videos showing both Windows, Mac and emulated games running on my mid 2009 macbook geforce 9400m. I'll show my g4 powerbook running some rarer titles also. I'm actually surprised at how the little 9400m goes. Its definitely a dramatic jump over the previous...
