    Help deciding - 16" M3Pro 36GB vs M4Pro 24GB -- same price (both brand new)

    Help deciding - 16" M3Pro 36GB vs M4Pro 24GB -- same price (both brand new) Seems Apple have tipped their hand that ram matters maybe more than it used to. Assume 5-year upgrade cycle. In the past, I'd already prioritized ram anyways due to my longish upgrade cycle. Various use cases. Pro will...

    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!

    How much heat & noise does the 16" M1 Max produce vs the M1 Pro?

    I'm on the 2019 Intel 16" with 64GB of RAM and I love my machine. I have never, ever used any swap memory and I love that I can keep 25 windows open and work in Python and SQL with no issues at all. So, I'm thinking about upgrading to the new M1 16" and I hate that Apple is forcing me to...

    Should Apple put the M2 chip in the 16" MacBook Pro?

    With the recent Tweet from DylanDKT... Should Apple put an M2 in the 16" MacBook Pro to reach the customers who don't need the speed but want the larger screen?

    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...

    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...

    MBP 16" only runs hot on the official 96W charger but not on a GaN 61W charger

    I've noticed something peculiar. I know there have been multiple reports of the 16 inch running hot while plugged into external monitors or even while doing mundane tasks. Has anyone tried to run their 16" MBP via a charger that isn't the official 96W apple charger? I've noticed on my own MBP...

    Hey all, The basic question is in the header - if I'm running a 16" with an iGPU, but there's also an eGPU driving the display, is the iGPU still available to the system for speeding up things like video rendering? More Detail: I have a new 16" arriving any day now. The ARM transition sent me...

    Not had a single issue with this 16" MBP until I updated to 10.15.4 Now I get to a situation where I notice it goes all sluggish and high CPU and the battery has depleted to about 5%. I need to do some more observations. I am not doing anything strenuous, just browing, connecting to a Citrix...

    Safari won't start

    I'm using 10.15.3 (19D76) on a 16" MBP, earlier today Safari stopped responding and after force quitting won't open back up. I'm guessing it's something to do with the Adblocker extension. I installed a new version of the OS and it's still happening but once I created a second user I was able to...
