I have an M1 Airbook that was bought only to watch anime on.
It has a nice screen, good sound, and long battery time. I hate using the operating system, but for using a webbrowser and watching videos it does the trick.
A mild annoyance with the M lineup is the lack of programs you can run in crossover and even though Asahi Linux is bootable and somewhat usable apart from some graphical glitches here and there that will definitely bother you, there's a lack of programs that can be easily installed there too due to the architecture. Will probably change in the future. Low power laptop chips are the future.
>>2026 What does a Mac GUI offer that Linux doesn't? I like using Ubuntu+Cinnamon on my desktop a lot more and seldom touch anything in the terminal.
The lack of customization on Mac OS kinda bothers me since I'm not fond of their design, but it's the best animebooks on the market so I'm willing to overlook it.

My Linux installation is stable. They're both fine really. A few years ago the M1 was actually a bit unstable though and would pink screen shut off every few months, but they fixed that issue fortunately.

>>2033 >Trying to make an Apple an orange... I would argue this is a good thing. instead of having things be chaotic the developers can standardize things to fit all laptops. For customization to be good I would like to be allowed to customize things, but the customization isn't good. It's functional and pretty nice to use overall, but customizable is not a good description in my opinion.
>Putting it to the left is like what my Mint os has. I put it to the left too, but it's still a dock and not a taskbar.
How hard can it be to make a dock also function as a taskbar? It's already in the right position with the right behavior, all they have to do is make it flat and fill the whole line like the menu bar up top. It's a taskbar, it's not rocket science. They're a trillion dollar company. They can make a taskbar if they wanted to, but they want all Linux and Windows users to suffer sadly. At least it's not Windows though.
>In fact I ditched windows11 because they prevented you from doing this Does Windows really? So glad I jumped ship early on after trying Windows 10. No vidya games is worth the humiliation of using modern Windows.

First time seeing a mac unboxing, lol'd at you trying to open it from the back heh.

Why the fuck would you want a machine only for watching anime? Especially one that doesn't have a lot of space.

>>2046 Why would you want to lay in bed with a desktop?
Space is a non-issue even if you're not a streamerfag. I grabbed the smallest size there was, there's no point of keeping a massive collection on a laptop. I have SMB setup for LAN transfers on my desktop and can browse my anime collection just as if I was using my desktop and just grab a quick copy from my terabytes when I want to watch an older show and delete it from the laptop afterwards. I could also stream it, but I prefer just copying the files over.
I don't understand wanting to sit at a desktop in a chair to watch anime when you can lay on a couch or a bed or even soak in a bath.
Everyone needs an animebook in their life.

I thought it had built in wallpapers at V15, but while it does have system picked animated wallpapers and lockscreens, I can't use my own mp4 files for it so you have to go with an App and all the apps charge you money for something that probably doesn't take much to maintain.

Another thing is that they have no office software so you're going to have to go with MS365 or LibreOffice. In which case you're second class citizen.

>>2060 Regular Wine works just fine.
https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/wine-stable Do note that Rosetta 2 can only accelerate 64-bit x86_64 and not 32-bit because the M3 has physical hardware corresponding to 64-bit memory model.
There is a proprietary thing called Crossover which can get around this with wine32on64 and the good news is there are open source builds of said binary should you need to play with your touhous.
