How I’m Using My MacBook as a Software Engineer in 2023
<p>I’ve written this Medium story to help MacBook users on the <strong>intel-based</strong> chips to understand the benefits of switching over to Apple Silicon.</p>
<p>I primarily use my MacBook for software development, here’s how I’m using my new machine. Hope you’ll find it insightful, everything disclosed is not sponsored, this is my <strong>honest</strong> review.</p>
<h1>Should you upgrade to Apple Silicon?</h1>
<p>If you’ve been waiting for the ‘right time’ to upgrade to Apple Silicon, I’d highly recommend upgrading. The performance <strong>boost</strong> I’ve seen coming from the i9 8 core intel to the M1 Max has been huge! Battery life and fans are no longer an issue.</p>
<h2>Let’s start with my favourite improvements:</h2>
<ul>
<li>No more fan noise </li>
<li>Insane performance! </li>
<li>Long-lasting battery </li>
<li>Better display </li>
</ul>
<p>The above improvements were enough to convince me to switch. I do <strong>miss</strong> using the touch bar (I found it useful), however, my old model would constantly get hot and slow in performance as I used it throughout the day.</p>
<p>I speak for myself but picking the right laptop is no longer a difficult process. As long as it’s got 16 GB of ram and an Apple Silicon chip, I can be <strong>confident</strong> things will just work.</p>
<h1>What do I create on my MacBook?</h1>
<ul>
<li>Websites — Mainly using Laravel</li>
<li>Mobile apps — Using Flutter</li>
<li>Content creation — Videos for YouTube</li>
<li>Graphic design — Photoshop</li>
</ul>
<p>So far, I’ve had no issues when I need to create on my MacBook. It completes all the tasks without making a sound.</p>
