Upgrading from a Mac M1 Air to a M5 Pro After 5 years I finally upgraded my daily driver. The Mac M1 Air is the best tech purchase I’ve probably ever made, but it was time. Mac’s are up by 25% in price but I got it just before this increase. What apps should I get on it? [apple, unboxing, mac, MacBook Pro, software engineer ]
