Big changes ahead for me and hubby, we’re taking our business on the road and trying our hand at the digital slomad life! 🌍💻
Downsizing my office into a backpack called for me to sacrifice my 27" monitor. After a bit of research I decided to give the Arzopa Z1RC a try, and I'm absolutely stoked with it! 💯 Highly recommend.
Now I'm in the market for an upgraded laptop and looking for recommendations. What works for you fellow Webflow designers?
Apple is the dream, but if that's going to be your recommendation you'll need to convince me... what makes it worth the investment?
Keen for some insights! 👇
@Ashleigh Menzies How exciting! What are some locations you want to visit?
@Jacquelyn Demshick We're heading to the Philippines first. Close enough to home (Australia) so that we can bail if need be 😂
I'm also getting Italian citizenship soon, so Europe is on the cards for the long-term 🤞
@Ashleigh Menzies have been thinking of upgrading as well, would love to hear some recommendations! Also congrats on this! 😊🙌🏻
@Ashleigh Menzies You can get a lot for less price on windows but in my opinion, What makes Apple great for my design workflow is the ecosystem and their M Chip lineups. Their M Series chips are very good for longevity and efficiency with your RAM. 16GB of Ram acts like 32GB sometimes.
Not to...
@Jerry Rodriguez It is definitely the way we'd like to go. Everything else we own is Apple, so it would allow us to streamline big time.
Any idea how the Air models perform with design work? Their price point isn't bad at all, and they definitely have a good battery life. I get about 45 minutes when unplugged atm 😂
@Ashleigh Menzies 45 minutes?! Yikes. Doesn’t sound convenient. 😅 the Air models are really good models as well. Since you’re a professional Ofcourse I would recommend if you can push for a pro model or atleast any of the older pro M chips that are refurbished then that would be good too. If...
@Ashleigh Menzies @Jerry Rodriguez My friend with the Air said she would not buy again, mentioned she frequently has to delete things off her drive and reboot because it gets overloaded and laggy! I love my Pro, obviously a huge investment but worth it!
@Ashleigh Menzies that’s awesome! Do you have anything set already?
@Daniel G Bright For travel plans do you mean?
@Daniel G Bright We're heading to the Philippines first. Good base to explore a few surrounding countries at a good price, and it's close to home (Australia) in case we decide to bail 😅
