I used the M1 for about four years as well. Recently, I decided to upgrade my laptop, even though the current one worked perfectly fine. It’s just that now I can afford to make that purchase. I compared the M1 and M2 using this article https://setapp.com/lifestyle/apple-m1-vs-m2-chip-difference. Overall, the difference isn’t that significant to make upgrading to the M2 worth it, in my opinion. In the end, I opted for the M3, paying just a bit more. And now, I’m completely satisfied. My opinion is, if you have the M1 and are considering the M2, it’s not worth upgrading.

Does anyone actually read on a Mac? It’s so inconvenient. I use an e-reader for that purpose, and as a last resort, my iPad. I primarily use my Mac for work, and sometimes to watch movies, TV shows, or play games. I have an M1 right now, and a big question for me is whether I should sell it and buy the M2.

I've recently started building a large e-book collection for a research project, and it's becoming difficult to keep everything organized on my Mac. The default Finder isn’t really cutting it in terms of sorting and tagging files the way I need. Can anyone recommend a good file manager that allows for better file organization and maybe even custom tags or categories? Thanks in advance for any tips!

If you're on a Mac and need something better than Finder, I can vouch for Commander One. I came across it when my default file system just couldn't handle my workload efficiently anymore. I was organizing various project files—photos, videos, documents—and I needed something with more power. After trying out a few options, I ended up at commander one, and it completely changed how I manage files. The dual-pane layout is a real time-saver, letting me work faster without constantly opening new windows. It's been a great tool for both personal and professional use.

Thanks so much for this recommendation! I’ve been struggling with Finder for a while now, and it sounds like Commander One could really improve my workflow. I especially appreciate hearing how it helped you manage different types of files, as I’ve been working with a lot of mixed media lately. The dual-pane feature sounds like a huge time-saver, and I can see how it would make things easier for both work and personal projects. I’m definitely going to give it a shot—this really came at the right time!
