    Is 256GB enough for the latest generation MacBook Air

    I had an M1 base model and it was fine for basic usage. That said I am pretty good about only keeping what I need. When I buy for my parents I generally load up on the RAM and storage so that they won't call me up for tech support.

    The difference should be pretty significant. Still, you might do better to just spend a bit more for the next tier up 3060ti/3070/6700/xt etc. Can always sell the 1080 and get a bit back to make up the difference.

    [Rumor] Intel Arc A770 Early October Launch

    It doesn't look that bad with RT on. Might get one to play around with and retire my RX580 in my HTPC.

    Intel ARC Performance and Pricing Speculation

    Intel is sure good at product timing. They will release these cards just when a flood of mining cards will hit the market.
