    Should I trade my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” 256gb for 2020 MacBook Pro 512gb w 16gb ram?

    Got an offer for the trade but can’t make a decision. My iPad is cellular unlocked in mint condition. The MacBook looks good cosmetically in pics from what I can tell. Processor is 1.4 GHz (up to 3.9GHz) Intel Core i5 (8257U).

    I really need to upgrade storage of my Mac Mini M1

    It's been 6 days and already I've got a warning "storage almost full". My 3TB HDD sounds like a jet engine when powered on, and hangs up Finder when waking up from sleep, it's very annoying. I need a large storage device for casual use that is QUIET and will be connected to the back of the...

    PowerBook G3 to M1 MacBook Pro - We sure have come a long way!

    I have to admit, this something I have been looking forward to comparing. Although they are not technically equals since the Wallstreet predates OS 10.0 by a few years, its a G3 that's a supported model. But when some of us complain about the constant progress of innovation, we have a lot to be...

    2020 27" iMac with 5700 XT hangs on Luxmark benchmark. Anyone can run it?

    I've been trying to run Luxmark 3.1 on the iMac 2020 with Radeon Pro 5700XT. While it can do the default scene successfully, the two other scenes Neumann and Hotel hangs the entire machine. On Big Sur it crashes, but on Catalina the entire machine reboots. The default sphere scene gives a GPU...

    Considering switching to M1 Mac Mini from 13" MBP 2018

    Hi, I am currently running a 2018 MBP 13" (TB Base with 8/256GB) and it's so sluggish it with an external display (even 1440p along with internal) with just 8GB of RAM. Planning to switch to a Mac mini M1 with 16GB as my laptop always runs docked at my desk all the time. I got a good deal from a...

    Strange and annoying fan noise in brand new iMac 27" 2020 (incl. audio file)

    Hi, I just replaced my late 2013 iMac 27" with a 2020 model to get the Big Sur experience :) Unfortunately my new iMac sounds strange - the fan make a clacking or engine like sound all the time when running at lowest RPM. iMac is 10 days old and does it ever since. Is this normal? I hope not...

    Battery Insanity

    I've stumbled into some minor obsessive insanity regarding the best battery health practices for my new 2020 MBP 13-inch. This machine replaces a 7-year-old late-2013 retina 13" that was always plugged in when not in use, including overnight. Those practices run contrary to much of what I'm...

    Big Navi refresh in 2020 27" iMac?

    With NVIDIA releasing their 3000 line of cards just a few days ago and AMD supposedly releasing their Big Navi RDNA2 chips later this year, I was wondering if Apple will refresh the GPU option on the iMac 2020 one last time. Apple has done such a move before in the past with the iMac Pro. On...

    BiglyBT / Vuze developer trying to make a macOS legacy version

    The most current versions of bittorrent clients that work on Mavericks (from what I've found) are from over a year ago. I rarely download torrents, but I want a current client that binds with a VPN. I submitted a ticket to the BiglyBT (ad-free fork of Vuze & Azureus) folks and a developer is...

    iPad Pro Get the 11" iPad Pro (2020) now? Or wait until mini-LED?

    Hey all, I've been doing a ton of research on iPad Pro recently and decided to finally invest in one. I'm just facing a personal dilemma and would love to hear the Macrumors forum input. A little about me and what I would use the iPad Pro for: I'm very big on productivity, reading, and content...

Or 32GB ram? Or 8GB GPU? it will mainly be used for Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, and I’m considering the...

    2020 MBP 13" hanging on security settings

    I noticed that my 2020 i5 / 16 / 512 MBP hangs when I press the security and privacy option in settings and pressing the lock after that, totaling to about a minute of wait time. Does this have to do with the T2 security chip? FileVault is disabled.

    Late 2020 16" MacBook Pro Predictions

    I was hoping to buy a future-proofed & maxed-out MacBook Pro (with the best GPU) for starting university this fall. I felt the 16" released back in November was only a warm-up for something really big for 2020. I imagined a no-bezels miniLED 14.1" display with a new deca-core i9 CPU, paired with...
