Fastest Laptop Recommendations
MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max
- Fastest option now
- 32GB RAM or more
- M3 Max MacBook Pro is untouchable
"Absolute fastest option now would be MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max"
MacBook Pro M3
- Efficient and fast
- M3 Pro version is more than sufficient
"Any MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro should be faster and more efficient than pretty much any other laptop at the same price point."
PiSCSI Device
- Allows for easy transfer of data to older PowerBooks
- Enables networking capabilities for data transfer
"Get yourself a PiSCSI Device it will let you transfer via SD card and even use the Pi to bridge the machine to your network so you could FTP/AFP files over."
Optimal RAM Timing for AMD Laptops
- Adjusting TRRDL, TWTRL, TWR, and tRC for performance
- Tightening RAM timings significantly impacts performance
"Might as well raise tRC to 54 to get some stability if those mentioned timing above made your laptop unbootable or unstable under RAM testing through TestMem5 with anta777 configuration."
Thorium Browser
- Known for being remarkably quick and efficient
- AVX2 version provides even faster performance
"Thorium is hands down the best browser I've ever used. Get the AVX2 version for Windows and it absolutely flies."
MacBook Pro M1 Series
- Highly efficient with great performance
- Minor issues with heating but overall performs well
"My M1 pro has had zero issues"
Browsers for Older Laptops
- Lynx, w3m, Falkon, and Thorium are recommended for efficient browsing
- Some browsers require specific optimizations for performance on lower spec laptops
"Fast or light browsers are essentially not a real thing. The system requirements of websites are what has got out of hand, not the system requirements of browsers."
