Even when you&#8217;re doing timber flooring, you can see the grain when you&#8217;re rendering. It&#8217;s one of the most enriching things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yoshlan, who holds an Honours and Master\u2019s in Architecture from the University of Pretoria, is equally impressed with the seamless workflow of the Apple ecosystem.<br \/>\nHis colleague at Vivid, Rese Boshoff, uses an iPad to trace and mark-up initial designs, and the MacBook Pro M2 takes over for the heavy rendering.<\/p>\n<p>But an architect\u2019s work is not limited to an office environment, and the MacBook\u2019s portability and all-day battery life means Yoshlan can carry on imagining, visualising, and fine-tuning wherever a project may take him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration between what happens in the office and what happens on site really amplifies what we as architects need,\u201d says Yoshlan. \u201cThe MacBook Pro M2 really does the job for us. It makes the day go a lot faster and it makes your productivity higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yoshlan started using a MacBook for remote work during lockdown. Right from the get-go, he was wowed by the speed of the machine. \u201cI really enjoy the fact that when you open the MacBook, it just opens up,\u201d he says. \u201cIt doesn&#8217;t take booting time like other different brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-662667\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan.png 2878w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan-2048x1151.png 2048w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Yoshlan-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\nAside from the speed, power, display, and readiness for the demands of Yoshlan\u2019s highly disciplined workday, \u201cyou know, using MacBooks is just fun,\u201d says. \u201cIt makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/75RjZIvuPM0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Mac M2 range, please visit <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istore.co.za\/discover-mac?utm_source=Broad+Media&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=February+2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/www.istore.co.za\/discover-mac.<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoshlan Mudaly is a candidate architect at Vivid Architects in the heart of Cape Town, there is one instrument that truly holds the power to make a building sing, whether it\u2019s an office or apartment block, a hotel, a safari lodge, or a retail or industrial development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":662675,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[5089],"class_list":["post-662665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-istore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662665"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662665\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":662703,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662665\/revisions\/662703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
