When I was starting college, I was still using my previous computer. I always wanted a MacBook Pro. I know many people would argue that there are better computers for less money, but for me, it was the best decision at that time. It had a good screen, good materials, and the ports were back. The introduction of the M1 MacBook Pros with MagSafe sealed the deal for me. When I finally got mine, I wanted to improve my skills in Blender.

I started following the tutorials of Blender Guru to create a 3D donut and watched all the videos until I reached the rendering section. I knew my computer was great in many aspects, but graphics were not its strong suit. Despite that, I had high expectations and created a spinning animation with the donut. There were a few moments when I could hear the fans of my computer working hard, and while rendering that animation, it felt like my computer was screaming at me, "Why are you doing this?!"

Here's a fun fact: rendering all those Blender animations made my MacBook get a little too hot. After finishing the renders, I usually closed my laptop. One day, I noticed that the keycaps had left marks on the screen. I went to Apple, and they explained what had happened. So, to anyone reading this, if you have one of the new MacBooks, regardless of the model, do yourself a favor and buy a screen protector. I learned this the hard way, so I'm telling you this so you don't have to make the same mistake.
