After 5 years of use, my Air M1 has written 313 TB. That would already be around 4/5 of the MacBook Neo’s rated endurance, whereas it’s only about 1/5 of the rated endurance of the SSD in my Air M1. At this rate, I could comfortably keep using my Air for another 20 years, while the Neo would have only a couple of years of endurance left

Of course, even after an SSD reaches its rated endurance, modern SSDs can potentially keep working for 10-20× longer. But that’s a risk, and there are no guarantees

A link showing that someone other than me has 1600 TBW on the SSD in the Air M1 (screenshot showing 10% SSD wear after 165 TB written), and a source confirming that the Neo has 400 TBW

I don't know how reliable this data is, but this is what the SSD itself reports to macOS. It would be really interesting if someone tested a MacBook’s SSD by continuously writing and erasing data 24/7 until the machine actually became unusable. That would give us at least one confirmed Apple Silicon MacBook failure case caused by SSD wear, rather than speculation, a defective unit, or some other cause of failure

Apple M6 vs M5 Chip Deep-Dive by High Yield and SemiAnalysis

Qualcomm is now officially taking PC game translation on Android seriously. They’ve started developing driver support. Qualcomm shared it with tech blogger Geekerwan for his analytical review of the Snapdragon 8 EE Gen 6

The MacBook Air M1 has 4x the SSD endurance of the MacBook Neo. Both have the same 256GB capacity, but the M1's SSD is rated for 1600 TB of writes, while the Neo's is rated for only 400 TB

MacBook Neo destroys Dell XPS 13 in terms of performance

A hidden gem: first review of the Surface Laptop Ultra with RTX Spark (engineering sample)

This is a great chart for understanding the MSI Claw 8 EX. The MSI’s biggest strengths are up to 12W and above 30W TDP, where it gets ~40-55% more FPS than the ROG Xbox Ally X. But in the 15-25W range it’s only ~15-30% ahead. It really depends on how you look at it

First Geekbench 6 test on macOS 27 with my MacBook Air M1. I don’t know if it’s just a placebo effect, but the system feels snappier to me. However, the benchmark scores themselves don’t seem to reflect that

Am I the only one who thinks Command + C/V is way more convenient than Ctrl + C/V? When using 10-finger typing, it’s super comfortable. On a Mac you just drop one finger from D/F down to C/V. On a Windows keyboard, you have to shift your whole hand so your pinky can comfortably reach Ctrl
