![]() However, if you are a creative professional or someone who just wants the biggest and best without concern over cost this belongs on your short list. Starting at $2,499 for the M3 Pro model and $3,499 for the M2 Max model, the 16-inch MacBook Pro isn't for everyone. We called the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max the "new king of MacBooks" and while you might think that means it belongs at the top of this list, the price makes it a choice you need to carefully consider despite how phenomenal it is. Best MacBook for Performance and Battery Life See our full 14-inch MacBook Pro (2023, M3) review. However, these are minor quibbles regarding an outstanding laptop that is now available for a more affordable price. ![]() Our complaints with the 14-inch MacBook Pro are nothing new, the notch still isn't our favorite design choice and it still stings that they are using up all that display real estate without giving us Face ID. While Apple still isn't challenging the best gaming laptops, it is making a meaningful plunge into gaming after just dipping its toe in for years. ![]() ![]() Now if you are a content creator, a power user, or dare we say it even a gamer then the M3 Pro or M3 Max models may be calling to you. , the hardware is otherwise largely the same excellent laptop we got 2 years ago. That base M3 is going to offer plenty of performance for most users and the laptop still boasts incredible longevity with 17 hours and 16 minutes of battery life in our testing. See our full MacBook Air with M1 (2020) review Best affordable big screenĪfter rumors abounded that the M3 MacBooks weren't coming until 2024, Apple surprised us all with a new round of MacBook Pros to close out 2023 with the 14-inch MacBook Pro the most notable as it got a new base M3 option starting at $1,599. And, of course, Apple's least expensive 13.3-inch model is the most portable, coming in at only 0.6 inches thick and 2.8 pounds.Īs long as you don't mind the older design, the MacBook Air M1 remains one of the best laptop deals even when it's not discounted and should draw strong consideration from anyone considering a new MacBook. So why buy the MacBook Air instead of the Pro? While the Pro has better-sustained performance, the MacBook Air is cheaper and is pin-drop silent because it doesn't have a fan. For any typical computing tasks, the MacBook Air M1 is more than equal to the challenge and will outlast most competitors too. The performance still outclasses every comparably priced thin-and-light Windows laptop and it manages to deliver 14 hours and 41 minutes of battery life in our testing. Best of all you can often find it for $899 or less. What about the MacBook Air M2? It's a fantastic laptop that we'll cover next on this list, but the reality is that for the majority of users the upgrades aren't necessary and Apple is keeping it around in order to maintain that sub-$1,000 starting price. ![]() The MacBook Air M1 remains the best MacBook for most people. See our full MacBook Air M2 review M1 Power for Under $1,000 If you find yourself cresting the $1,499 mark for your configuration then you may want to consider the base 14-inch MacBook Pro, which I cover later in this list and can now be regularly found for $1,799. As I mentioned the Air M1 stuck around at $999, so you are paying a premium for the M2 model. The biggest consideration with the Air M2 is the price if you need to upgrade much from the $1,199 base model. That first will be particularly welcome to those that are using the Air M2 on the go and may be faced with less than optimal lighting conditions. The list of upgrades also includes a brighter display, a quad-speaker array and the new 1080p webcam. The fact that it does all this while staying whisper quiet and cool without fans remains astounding. You also get a nice performance bump and it still delivered 14 hours and 6 minutes in our battery life test, placing it easily ahead of the Windows competition and ridiculously so when factoring in performance. ![]()

Our concept “Live Artfully” takes inspiration from the property’s unique setting-sharing a courtyard with The Rubell Museum on one side. What was your thinking behind the solution? Design Army was tapped to bring their wild creativity to help Gallery 64 stand out in DC’s hyper-booming real estate market.Ģ. BUT the property is also surrounded by 15 other brand-new developments with similar amenities, features and fees-all targeting the same demographics. Gallery 64 is a new DC apartment building with a distinctly covetable address-set smack next to The Rubell Museum, famed for its progressive art exhibitions and contemporary collection. During pre-leasing, Gallery 64’s Instagram gained an average of 200 organic followers per month, and at opening Gallery 64 signed over 22 units in 2 months - often with a waitlist for tours.Īll answers from Pum Lefebure, chief creative officer and co-founder, Design Army: Much like a gallery opening, the Gallery 64 was the hot ticket in town. The many variations of the 64 are used to represent all aspects of “art” from textile design to break-dancing, while the curated photography visuals were concepted as modern “pop-art.” The brand colors are primary yet polished, and the brand patterns allow for a controlled graphic volume based on application. ![]() Gallery 64 branding is expressive, artful, and diverse. The property name is not only the street address (64 H ST SE) but is a reference to 1964 which marked a pivotal moment in contemporary culture with the invasion of The Beatles, civil and voting rights were in signaling for change, and the arts scene was exploding with new interpretations of creativity that would shape many generations to come. Leveraging this distinct attribute, the Gallery 64 brand evokes a very curated and artful approach. Gallery 64 is unique as it shares a courtyard with the Rubell Museum of Contemporary Art. ![]() ![]() ![]() This F41 suspension package was actually an optional handling package offered by GM dealers for G-body cars.

So I want to make this post for newcomers so that they can have an easier, more organized time than I did when it comes to learning about the possibilities for their 5th Gen El Caminos. The knowledge is definitely out there, but it can be a pain to find at times. But since then I've done a lot of reading on this forum as well as other G-Body and Hot Roding forums to learn more and collect information. When I first got my 1984 El Camino SS nearly 5 years ago, I had no idea about anything really. This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the possibilities, but rather a summary of the easiest "bolt-in" swaps that can be done with second-hand parts to achieve appreciable performance gains. Of course, Brian took the transmission too, so Josh built himself a 200-4R four-speed transmission to back the 355, which he upgraded with a Boss Hog 2,800 rpm stall converter.Hello fellow NECOA Members! I've decided to create this thread to act as a sort of table of contents for other 5th Gen El Camino owners looking to get a better understanding of what are some relatively cheap and effective modifications they can do to their cars using second-hand parts. Topped with an Edelbrock Air Gap intake and a Quadrajet, the little 355 found a nice home in the El Camino, and made great power thanks to a set of Hooker long-tube headers paired to a Flowmaster 40-series exhaust. Complete with a stock GM crankshaft, a set of aftermarket connecting rods, and 0.030-inch over pistons, Josh's 355 was a stout street motor thanks to a set of L98 cylinder heads and a custom Comp Cams solid-roller camshaft. Finding a new engine was easy, since Josh already had an 0.030-inch over 350 ready to be installed. The two struck a great deal, with the body and rolling gear of the El Camino going to Josh, while the TPI engine stuck with Brian. ![]() As luck would have it, Brian's brother-in-law, Joshua Hanna, happened to be looking for a new project after finding out that his '81 Malibu project was a little worse for wear than he anticipated. This brings us to 2010, when Brian decided it was time to sell the El Camino to finance other projects. And managed to destroy the hood, bumper, core support, radiator, grille, and headlights on his newly painted ride. However, it was around the summer of 2002 that disaster struck. Brian also made some interior modifications, and turned the El Camino into a solid daily driver and weekend car show cruiser. And what he did first was restore the exterior of the Chevy, stripping down the body to bare metal before painting it Sport Gold Metallic over black, and installing a set of polished IROC wheels to complete the look. But finally, all of the hard work paid off, and Brian was in a position to restore the El Camino instead of deliver parts in it. Well, not so much action, that might not be the right word … mainly it was just moving boxes from Gainesville to South Florida after college, then being used as a work vehicle delivering big screen TVs, large appliances, tractors (!), and other large equipment for a local big box store in the area. ![]() ![]() ![]() But I wanted to put that kid in a tuxedo – a tuxedo and white dress shirt, looking like Sinatra walking into the spotlight to the applause of a sold-out Vegas performance. I begged his agent to let me create the cover for Off the Wall!Īt the time, young Michael was a gangly kid with an Afro. Suddenly I was struck by lightning – I knew the look for Michael. ![]() In The Wiz, he was grown man and a person in his own right. He out-danced, out-sang, and out-performed the rest of the cast, and with a personality bigger than the screen. Until The Wiz, I had only thought of Michael as the kid from The Jacksons and The Jackson 5. Michel always used the look we created for Off the Wall as a logo. The look Michael and I created together at the time was a graphic metaphor of his coming of age, of his stepping out as a man on his own. Those images, the black and white palette, the socks and glove, and all the other trademark elements we came up with, were kept in some form as the symbol of Michael Jackson throughout his career. Below is a transcript of an interview Mike Salisbury did shortly after Michael’s passing, on the eve of the album’s 30th anniversary, in which he reflects on the inspiration for the legendary album cover and the process of bringing it to life. The album was released on Augand the cover art adorning its frontispiece reflected both the youthfulness and maturity of a then-21-year-old Michael Jackson. The two got together for a photo session and the rest was history.
