  • Need to upgrade my computer for work as going freelance.

    Mostly just google docs etc, but also some heavy InDesign and light Premiere Pro. Move around a fair bit for work (tv).

    Very tempted by the MacBook Air M1 (even though I know it’s yet to support PP and INDD).

    Thinking about a MacBook Air 13 M1 with a second screen setup of an iPad or iPad Air running sidecar? Coming from a 15” pro. I don’t see any difference between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro apart from the fan?

    Other option is a Mac mini setup with an iPad Air for ‘on the go’.

    Anyone else using sidecar to get a bit more screen real estate? Or should I just buy a monitor? Advantage of sidecar is I can take the extra space with me wherever I go whereas a monitor is a bit trickier.

    Should add I already own a 2014 13” pro which is starting to show its age.

  • I’ve been using a 2016 MacBook 12” and an 11” iPad Pro as my portable light InDesign/amends setup. Perfectly serviceable for just about everything, but I still prefer to set up new projects on my iMac. Its slightly absurd that the ‘portable screen’ has more power than the work machine but there you go.

  • Ah, good to know. Is sidecar pretty seemless then? I think in an ideal world I’d get a 16” version of the new M1 pro but unfortunately I can’t wait as I need it first week December! Suppose I could always sells
