Apparently Maestro is no longer providing MacBook Air M4. They have pivoted to the MacBook Neo, which I am definitely concerned about. If you aren’t aware, the Neo uses the A18 chip and base model only provides 8gb of ram. This is less than what’s in my IPhone 17 pro max. Kind of disappointed as this is clearly a money saving initiative. The MacBook Air was perfect for what we are doing in regard to specs and cost to the university. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I don’t feel great about this. Let’s use this thread to chat once we start receiving our computers and maybe share what we are doing to make up for the lack of specs.

I want to share my classroom, I am actually staying with my adoptive dad. I have lived on boats since 2019. My poor choice of character allowed me to lose my home not once, twice, but three times lately and here it is in the raw. It's great here our differences don't title who we are but where we were going....🧚

Okay, so, has anyone never had a Mac before and experiencing a major learning curve? Holy crap you'd think I've never touched a computer before. It's just a different user interface I guess. Control is the command key and I don't know what the Mac's control key is for yet. It's honestly like a little better version of the Chromebook I was using, but nothing like the old HP I had. I guess I just have to play around for a while lol... I did get signed into everything I needed though. Second question - the school email they gave us. That's just to get discounts and stuff, right? Is anyone using that as their sign in on anything? I'm still using my regular personal one...
