Greetings from my new M3 MacBook Pro! It arrived mid last week which is pretty sweet given how Apple only announced their existence a fortnight ago (I don’t like to repeat if I can find a similar word). It lives up to all the expectations so far. Well, what made pleased me the most was the computer arriving with Ventura as the OS, not Sonoma. I’m already using the latest for my work machine (an M1) which is A-OK, the relief comes from my primary system was way back on Big Sur (11) with a handful of apps I paid for. The worries over incompatibility escalate with every upgrade.
The good news? Everything I prefer to use…works! Only one thing needed Rosetta 2 and even it doesn’t trigger the fans to crank up as it did on the MacBook Air 2020 (Intel). The Web site for Hero Forge flows when building a mini without a hiccup! Dang. Maybe there is a stronger upside to the merging of iOS and macOS hardware. Please keep all the cool tower options: RAID, more storage and expansion cards! Is the M3 faster? I’ll have to let you know later since I haven’t gotten around to any Logic or Final Cut work with it.
The bad news? Nothing serious. Not having much luck finding armor for this puppy…in a color I like.
Meanwhile, I have two used MacBooks for sale. In very good condition if you’re interested. You know how to reach me.
