Thank you very much! I will, I love how fluid MacBooks are.

Did not know that a Journal was coming to iPhone. Looking forward to it.

Thank you for the tip on the YouTube Channel. Have sometime right now, will take a look.

Again, Thank You!

 

Hello Fellow MacBook Users.

I am new to MacBooks, this is my 1st ever MacBook. It is the M3 Pro MacBook Pro Space Black Base Edition.

Ok, so the questions I have is about looking for some Apps. It is hard finding something Great Especially when you are new to something.

I am Studying Japanese. So what Apps would be good for learning another Language. I also have the Languages added to my Keyboard since I have been learning for a bit. I have fully learned Hiragana and Katakana as well as some Kanji. I am learning Kanji right now since I think it will help me reading.

Anyways, I would love to know what Apps are good for something like that.

Another App I am looking for is a Diary Type App. Something where I can go and write and write.

I was thinking about buying the App called IA Writer, but I think $50 is a lot. That said if the App is worth it I would be ok with getting it.

I am willing to buy the Apps if they are worth it and give the Ability ti do what you want without issues. The lower the better though.

P.S. Can be skipped. Just my opinion. Thanks Again!

Thank You!

P.S. I never imagined how amazing the MacBooks are. I had bought the Lenovo Legion i5 Pro which had a 1600p 240Hz Screen with a I7 13700HX and RTX 4070.

It was Powerful for Gaming, but even when using it sometimes often it would have Judder which made it feel like a Cheap Laptop. Gaming was Amazing, but I have a ROG ALLY for Portable Gaming and a PC I7 13700K RTX 4080 with Windows 11 Pro so I did not need another Windows Laptop. That said what personally to me the Battery was what was Baffling I got around 3 and a Half with turning off Discreet GPU, Brightness Down to 40%, HZ down to 60Hz and a couple more things.

In the listing from Best Buy it said up to 5 hours. I was How LOL. My M3 Pro MacBook Pro, damn is it something Amazing with how Fluid responsive and Battery blows anything away.

Not to mention it speaks really good with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, 12.9 iPad Pro M1, Apple 4KTV and Apple Watch Ultra Gen 1. Not to mention it is very easy to transfer Documents between Windows and Mac OS. I was able to get some Photos and TextBooks/Google Docs so easy.

I don't think I will be able to switch to another Laptop. I just keep getting in Deeper into the Apple Eco-System and Rightfully So. It is something Amazing and people know it.

I personally think that all the Apple Silicon MacBook Pro's are Amazing.

I personally have the M3 Pro MacBook Pro Space Black and I love it. I originally had bought the M3 MacBook Pro in Silver through Pre-Order.

After a few Days the M3 Pro MacBook Pro went on sale to $1,800 for Total Tech Members at Best Buy which I am a Member of.

I instantly returned the M3 3 and Upgraded for 200$ to a Better Chip, Ram and to me Personally the Color.

Oh man, the color looks so Gangsta lol. Especially in the Dark it looks so sleek.

Silver is one of my Favorite Color. I always get my iPads in that color. My Current iPad Pro 12.9" M1 is Silver and I originally have bought the M3 Silver to Match.

After I upgraded I took the opportunity to try the new color and I am so Glad I did. What a Beauty.

I love how people can come to this Reddit Page and just talk about How and Why MacBook's are Such a Great Laptop.

It is my first MacBook and as such I joined the Community on the 7th of November 2023 when I bought my MacBook.

So far I feel welcomed.

I bought it Day 1 over a year now. Glad to see that it is Holding its value. I do need a new Band though. I have been using the same Orange since Day 1. I do wash it regularly, but I am in need of something new Color wise.

I usually buy a Brand New Band every year since I do like getting the Official Bands.

If you can upgrade the M3 to the M3 Pro or 16GB I strongly recommend that one.

There is a Big Performance differences between those 2. Not to mention the Screen Quality is also Waaaay Better.

I do have to say the M3 is better. I know people are saying go with the 16GB and I fully understand it, but I don't think they are weighing the whole MacBook Pro.

This is how it is Basically.

Pro's on M3 are Everything Except Ram.

On M2 Air Cons are Everything Except Ram.

For what you are doing 8GB should be fine. Not to mention you will be getting a Stronger Chip more Future Proof a Way better Display Brighter and Twice the Resolution with ProMotion and so much more.

That is my take. I personally have the M3 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black.

On Day 1 though I bought the M3 Silver over the same thing as you and I was happy. Only upgraded because in Best Buy the M3 Pro got a big Discount that for 200$ more I was able to upgrade to the M3 Pro.

I would say look into it yourself.

For what you do 8GBs are enough and the new M3 MacBook Pro will take you further with a much better experience.

Again please go to YouTube and look at Comparisons.

Most everyone says Ram is the way, in this case there is so much more to account for.

Again Display, Performance etc. I for your case do recommend the M3 but I would still say Again lol, look into them and make your choice since you will be the one using it.

Also, if you watch a lot of Videos/Movies/Shows on the MacBook Pro than Again the Mini LED higher brightness Display of the M3 would be better not to mention the Speakers.

I would say the Base M2 Air I think it is 750$ right now on Best Buy.

That said if the Budget is Higher and you want to future proof as long as possible than I recommend you telling your Folks about the Newly Released M3 MacBook Pro since you can see some Real Performance Jump between the base Models on the M3s Favor.

I personally have the M3 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black and I love it. They are Amazing Device.

Not to mention all the M3 MacBooks have the same screen which gives you 120Hz Pro Motion, 600 Sustained Brightness SDR, 1,000 Sustained Brightness on HDR and 1,600 Peak on HDR, not to mention it is Mini-LED.

It will definitely be a Big Difference between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in Performance, Screen, Speakers and Storage.

If I where you I would talk to your Parents and show them 2 options.

1 the M3 Base Model that will still be a lot better than the M1/2 Air and the other one of the latter.

Tell them that one is a lot better will last longer and has more potential for school etc. Than offer Them the other choice.

I hope than you guys can talk it out and see what is best, based on your and there thoughts.
