Hi All,

I am thinking to use a Macbook Air M2 with EESDR3.
Do you know if EESDR3 will work on the M2?

Thank, Tim

ESDR3 current builds are intel-based for MAC, and working on M1/M2, using Rosetta.
However I would avoid Air at in general. Qt6 has never announced (actually avoids) compatibility up to date. Also - passive cooling is a question for our application.
Mini (both m1 and m2) had repeatable failure reports and at some point of time it was even discussion to take mini out of "supported" list (up until EE will be able to finilise arm64 architecture full adoption).

I'm running a new Mac Mini M2 Pro with 32GB Memory, using Venura 13.3 and ExpertSDR3 and having no problems. I agree with Paval about the Air.
