What's So Great About the M3 MacBook?
Episode Description
With Marques out this week, Andrew and David sit down to talk about everything from ChatGPT being added to Boston Dynamics robots to the new (and kind of confusing) Apple M3 laptop lineup! This episode a shorter one, but still a fun one. Hope you enjoy!
Edit: So for everyone commenting about David's frame rate we have an answer! Kind of. Dropping in the iPhone footage to the beginning threw off the settings, but only for David's angle. Sorry about that!
