On the latter, a complete run takes about 5 1/2 minutes. That seems excruciatingly long when I’m waiting to do further writing or editing after looking at what I have so far, complete with all cross-references filled on.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>To have all the needed windows open, that 13” MacBook Air is out of the question, though.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Hence my interest in the M1 Max chip on a desktop.</div><br class=""><div class="">
