//ON MACS
This was bound to happen. I was never into Apple products but was coerced into trying an iPod Touch back in 2015 for some car video reviews! I chose it because of the HD front and rear camera, then realised the operating system and ease of use was more suited to me.
I have owned a few phones since then and after buying a refurbished MacBook M1 Pro this year I got in touch with the distribution center and they have allowed me to sell ex-display MacBooks that have some items replaced before sale! Things like the keyboard, trackpad and quite often the display is replaced so you essentially receive a brand new laptop with a full years warranty from Apple!

Above is a download link for a Mac clean app. When you download and open this app it will allow cleaning of the screen, keyboard and mouse/trackpad without affecting the laptop or any open apps. The modern MacBook doesn't allow itself to be opened without turning on - so this is how to keep your keyboard clean without re-installing everything 20 times, opening apps while sending them to the recycle bin, thus saving internal meltdown events (both you and the Mac). If it does not work please get in contact!

Both UK/US and German keyboard models are available. I'm not sure if I can get other language layouts, but if you send an email I can always check. The MacBook M1 Pro is the main item available, but I can also get the Mac Mini M1 and get decent prices on the iPad M1 models too!

If you are thinking about upgrading your current laptop or even desktop PC for something new, the Mac's with the M1 chip are seriously powerful. I don't think the M1 Pro or M1 Max versions are needed unless you want to create music with 200+ tracks or want to edit 16K videos which doesn't yet exist (on this planet). YouTube reviews have proven the MacBook M1 Air is more than capable of editing 4K videos with games open and several internet browser windows open simultaneously.
People are also using the basic M1 Air for music production, rendering my M1 Pro useless (at my level of music production). If you are coming from Windows, or already have a Mac and are worried about Intel/M1 compatibility issues - don't worry!
I had the same fear and wished somebody told me that everything is 'backwards' compatible. This means when I open Messenger or WhatsApp app on here, it automatically runs as Intel with no discernible difference. This means the M1 is powerful enough to be its own powerhouse, and also mimic the Intel i3, i5, i7 and i9 BETTER than any revision of these already powerful processors!

This year I have sold at least 10x MacBook Pro M1 models, a few M1 Air, and a couple of M1 Mac Minis at more affordable prices. The MacBook M1 Pro has a retail price of £1299 and I have been able to sell these for £1150, saving money for things like Apple Care+ or other accessories. The benefit of the Pro over the Air are the internal fans - the Air doesn't come with fans and will thermal 'throttle' (limit its processor power) as it builds heat. That said I haven't seen one overheat from video editing or music production on YouTube. They start at £999 from Apple and I can sell them for £900, with a years manufacturer warranty.

If you are looking for a new Mac drop me an email and I will have your device delivered within a week! Currently I spend six months in England and the remaining six in Germany each year at the Nürburgring race track. This idea came about during the covid lockdown, and I earn between £30 and £35 per laptop which saves people questioning me after reading all of this 😂.
My next project is to start selling CBD supplements again. This will be a spray bottle that helps counteract any negative symptoms from smoking 'street' cannabis, but also doubles as a generic supplement for those who need it. I have a friend who owns a large company in the UK and we should be able to get that project up and running before the end of 2021!
Thanks for reading!
