    14'' M3 Max new owners - fan noise?

    Anyone with a maxed out 14" M3 Max have any insight on fan noise? I've seen some reviews that show the fans kick up, but seems they were all testing doing heavy loads, sometimes with high performance mode enabled. Was curious for more low/medium loads/normal power mode, how has the fan noise...

    Maxed out M1/2 Max 14” users - battery life/noise?

    Can anyone with a 14” mbp with a fully maxed out M1/2 MAX Chip + fully maxed out RAM comment on battery life/fan noise? Curious what the actual experience is for people with a fully souped up 14”. How bad is your battery life? Do you deal with a lot of fan noise? Issues even in a low/medium...

    14” vs 16” poll

    I’m just going to keep this simple. Which size and spec did/will you go for and what are/will be your use cases? There was a poll similar to this on the iPad forum and I can’t seem to find one here. Go!

    Any SSD options comparison by speed for New MBPs available yet?

    Hi Everyone! I am planning to buy 14” M2 MacBook- actually I’m pretty decided - 30cMax/32/2TB, but… Want to check for “most attractive” SSD option with good incremental raise in speed i.e Write (I know for each capacity there’s value range)? It’s been 4ish weeks since launch but can’t seem to...

    14” mic volume very low?

    Playing with my new 14” today and the mic volume when recording in Messages or Voice Memos is very low, have to up the input volume in sound settings to max to make it the same volume at half volume on my 2020 27” iMac or 2017 MacBook Pro 15”

    14" MBP M1 Max display LED zone failing?

    I've had my 14" MBP Max Pro since launch and it is THE fastest and most useable machine I've ever had, and I've had many Mac Pros and dozens of MBPs. Been happy as a clam with it and it hasn't skipped a beat! Today while doing some general browsing, I started to see this flicker on my screen...

    4 months later: Intel V M1 Max memory

    I've generally been thrilled with my new 14MBP. (Mont 12.2.) However, this week I noticed my memory pressure was in the 'yellow', and straightforward applications such as Discord and What's app was consuming large amounts of memory. I tried the same apps in an identical setup on an 2017...

    I got Apple to offer me device replacement (because butterfly keyboard), but now I’m having further issues with Apple support (any advice appreciated)

    (I’ll try to keep this as short as possible) tldr; The keyboard on my 2018 (4 thunderbolt, $1800) MBP failed multiple times, leading to device replacement, however, Apple is offering me 13” M1 MBP (my problem with that: only 2 thunderbolt ports and $500 less than what I paid for my Mac...

    Recovery Mode not working on 2021 14" MBP

    Picked up one of the new 2021 M1Pro 14" MacBook Pro's about a month ago. Stock 16GB/512GB model. Space grey. Looks lovely. It's been mostly smooth sailing. Much faster than my previous MacBook Pro. Really appreciate the SD card slot and HDMI port return. Screen looks great, speakers sound better...

    Macbook Pro M1 Max 14” Battery After Migration from Old Mac Book Air

    Recently bought Macbook Pro M1 Max 14”, 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage. Restored my old MacBook Air through Apple’s Migration Utility. Battery life went down to 6 hours only with single youtube webpage session running. Yesterday submitted the laptop for Apple Genius bar to look into the issue...

    Dimming on edges of screen (new 14/16 inch)

    Let me just begin with the fact that this isn’t really a defect, but rather a limitation of the way these screens are designed so essentially all of these new macbooks will have it. The same ’issue’ can be seen on 12.9 iPad screens. Im curious: Have you noticed the slight dimming around the...

    Control Center high RAM (~ 9 GB) usage on Monterey 12.0.1 MBP 14” 32 GB RAM.

    Saw this on Reddit and wondering if anyone else is experiencing it with their 14” and 16” M1 Macs. Control Centre seems to be using nearly 9 GB of RAM. Seems to be a big memory leak. Some redditors replied that macOS will use all of the RAM available to maximize performance, but to have 9 GB...

    Unexpectedly worse performance on 14” MBP vs 27” iMac (2017)

    This is a very specific use case but hear me out: My 27” iMac gets ~60 FPS running an older game from 2003 in 4K using CrossOver. I used Migration Assistant and ran the same game on my MBP M1Pro 10/16 and it ran at 7FPS. I reconfigured the graphics in-game thinking it needed to adapt to the...

    Waiting for the 2022 MBP

    The long awaited 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro’s are finally here and landing in people’s laps, as is tradition time to start up the wait for the next iteration I guess? I’m not expecting a lot of people to be along for the wait to the successors of the M1 Pro and M1 Max MBPs, which may be good...

    Waiting for the M1 16" MacBook Pro Thread

    Anecdotally there seem to be many folks ditching their 16" MacBook Pros for new 2-port M1 MacBooks (Air/Pro). Who's patiently idling by for the forthcoming M1X 16" MacBook Pro? Or rumored 14" MacBook Pro? What are you looking for with the higher-end Apple silicon MacBook Pros? My check list...
