    Memoji would be a lot better if it was usable in other apps

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 09:39 AM PDT

    90% of the time I use memoji, it's because my daughter wants to see herself as [insert name of animal].

    Wouldn't it be a lot better if they allowed memoji to be used in the Photography app, for example, so I don't have to FaceTime my iPad just so she can play with it?

    Thoughts (Review) on the M1 MBP from a lifelong Windows user

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 08:26 AM PDT

    I wanted to share my experience of using the M1 MBP after a month (or so!). Hopefully this well help someone like me, who is in the market for buying a laptop and maybe looking to switch to a Mac from Windows.

    Context - I have been a lifelong Windows user, and I still use a Windows laptop for my work. Since Windows 10, I have been very happy with the OS itself, and have zero problems with it. Recently, I was in the market for buying a personal laptop. I previously owned a Dell G7, which is a really powerful machine, but had a very average screen and was bulky as hell. This time around I had very specific requirements for my laptop - Great screen, performance, battery life and portability. So basically the perfect ultrabook. And of course, I wanted this all at the cheapest price possible (who doesn't?). So after almost a month of research, I narrowed it down to a couple of laptops - MBP, MBA, Dell XPS 13, HP Spectre 14, Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro. All these laptops had most of the things I was looking for (bar one or two of those key features I need), but the MBP seemed to tick all the boxes for me, so I went ahead and purchased the 16GB M1 Pro (Silver)

    Now here are my thoughts on the actual laptop after more than a month of use:

    1. Unboxing - Let's start with the hardware. The moment I unboxed it and held it in my hand, I was blown away. It was super thin (especially compared to my G7), and the metal finish was just exquisite and cool to the touch. When I opened the laptop, I was once again impressed by its clean and industrial look. No stickers, no other wording, just 'MacBook Pro' on the bottom of the screen, that's it. In summary, I absolutely loved the whole aesthetic of the laptop.

    2. Hardware -

      • Screen - Top notch, the resolution is the perfect balance between a 1080p and a 4K screen. Colors look amazing, and it was a massive step up from my Dell G7. Screen is one of the most important feature I look for in any gadget (phone, laptop, tablet) and this has exceeded my expectations. The only con is that my full HD monitor now looks like crap in front of this (hehe).
      • Performance - Like I have mentioned before, I have a company provided laptop for work. So I was using this mainly for day-day stuff, coding (Python, SQL) for data analysis and very light photo/video editing. So, it's not really the most intensive work, but throughout my workflow (which involves opening up like 100 tabs on Chrome, with Spotify on and coding at the same time), I've had zero hiccups. In fact, I have only restarted the laptop twice in this entire time, and I still don't have anything slowing it up. One issue I would like to add here - I'd have liked to install Linux alongside or at least run it on a VM, but its currently not possible, which is annoying.
      • Other - The trackpad is the best trackpad I have used, period. I'm not the biggest fan of the keyboard however. My work laptop is a ThinkPad, and coming from that, it's not great. This is easily the weakest point of the MacBook for me. The port situation isn't great either, I'd have loved it if they had put the two USB C ports on either sides of the laptop. But that's just a small annoyance. Oh, and about fan noise - there is none, absolutely none. This is one silent machine, and something I have never seen in any laptop before!
      • Battery life - This deserves a section of its own, I mean - wow! I easily get 15 hours+ on my usage, and that's just mind-blowing. This has easily been the strongest point of the laptop for me. Imagine a situation where you just don't need to take your charger with you, and can still comfortably use your laptop for a day or two. Great job Apple!

    3. Software -

      • I'm a first time Mac OS user. But having used Linux distros before, I didn't find it too jarring. There's a ton of software to make workflows similar to Windows (multi-tasking view, window management etc), this definitely helped.
      • I do miss having a free version of Excel (which I use for data analysis) bundled with my laptop, but other than that, I've never had any issues with app availability for my uses.
      • The fact that I don't need to restart my system every once in a while, to 'refresh' performance is very welcome. It certainly has a bit of a learning curve, but easily manageable. If you are thinking of switching to Mac, I'd recommend to check the availability of the apps that you use (particularly true for the M1 mac), but if it is, then you'll have no issues with switching!
      • One thing I really love is the trackpad gestures on this OS. Along with the great trackpad, it's such a nice way to navigate pretty much everything.

    Final thoughts - I would give this laptop a 9/10. It's easily the best laptop I have used, and does everything expected of an ultrabook. There are some great laptops on Windows, and some of them have a better feature vs the Macbook (be it the screen, or keyboard, or something else). But overall, as a package, unlike other laptops, the MBP has the best balance of all the key features you'd expect. If you dont need Windows for your workflow (and dont game!), I believe this is one of the best laptops you can buy.

    Feel free to ask any questions if you are considering purchasing this!

    Idea about new Safari tab groups

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 10:49 PM PDT

    I've tried the new Safari tab groups in the Technical Preview and I can say I really like them along with the revamped tabs.

    One thing that came to my mind that will be a killer feature not only for Safari but for privacy is the possibility to separate sessions / cookies per tab group. Something similar to Firefox containers, where we have complete isolation between tab groups. So I can have my social platforms opened in one tab group that does not follow me around when I do stuff in my Work tab group for example. Or to be logged simultaneously in my personal and work gmail accounts in different tab group.

    ​

    I doubt that will be easily doable, but I think we can all benefit from that. What do you think guys?
