MacBook Air: the best portable MS/RDP terminal.
This is the first Apple I've bought. I've been looking at the battery life on these for a while and have heard only good things about the M2 processor. I decided to add one to my Windows eco-system. Why, because I can't touch the battery life, performance and build quality with a made for Windows machine for this price. Using a VPN to my home network I'm able to access the much more powerful Windows systems and storage options I have at the house from anywhere I have a stable internet (my phone has unlimited data and a hotspot). Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Apple app store works great, in the second picture while waiting on dinner I was working on a Windows system at my house while 4+ hours away from home. I can't call it a portable dumb terminal since it can do a lot without connecting into a Windows computer. I find I do use it for web browsing and music playback. I've also used it for Zoom meetings recently as well while feeding the webcam through OBS for effects to the virtual cam used by Zoom. As for why I chose the 15" over the 13"... Well, I've always had 15" laptops and I'm use to the larger screen. Also, I was the 15" has a better sound than the 13" and I only use headphone while in public, rest of the time the speakers are used.
