    Is the standard MacBook Air M5 16/512 sufficient for normal use with FCP and LRC?

    Hi everyone, I recently sold my Mac mini M4 16/256 because the internal SSD was too small for my needs. Since a Mac Mini M4 16/512 currently costs €949.00 in Germany (only available new directly from Apple), I’m wondering if the standard MacBook Air 13" M5 16/512 for €997.00 new (reputable...

But I'll leave it this way for a few days, see how it goes. Maybe move my photos back at some point now that I know eventually...

    How to delete old app versions? No, really.

    Updating 3rd-party apps usually gets rid of previous versions of that app, as confirmed by only the most current versions showing up in the Applications folder. On my M4 mac mini running Sequoia however, if I right-click a file name, a list of potential apps to open that file opens up. In that...

    Could anyone please tell me if I am able to remove the second 500gb HDD from my 2014 i5 MM and put it into my 2020 M1 MM? I don't know anything about internal hardware, so I'm wondering if the cables and/or connectors are compatible to facilitate this? Cheers.
