Honestly it’s one of those things where in the beginning it seems dumb but after 6 month you’ll love it. I did not even want one but I got one as a gift and I have been wearing it daily for 4 years. The health tracking being able to see time and schedule at a glance look at notis and more is so nice

M1 air is fine but if you like MagSafe and the new form factor than get m2. Also if the pricing is close the extra power from m2 is nice. And before yall say he doesn’t need the power it’s not about now it’s about the usability in 5 plus years. I ran into this where I only got 8gb of ram thinking ehh I don’t really need 16. 3.5years later now I need to buy a new machine for that reason. For allat I would go m2 unless the price of m1 is really compelling

Is there a way to change if the low power mode is on quickly. The only way I could see is through settings. Tbh as someone who came from(and still mainly uses) windows I kinda just learned the bare minimum and moved on so idk about a lot of things

? U suggested it and then said it’s stupid to throttle your machine?

Yea but lowpower mode lowers your performance. It’s essentially like starving your engine of gas. Sure it won’t use as much but your 0-60 is gonna suffer
