    Connecting three displays to (base-level) Mac mini M4

    I've read some other threads in this forum but just want to get a clear idea on how I can connect my existing and future monitors to the base-level Mac mini M4 that I have coming my way now. I get kind of tripped up on the aspect that USB-C is more of a port and not the connection type itself...

    How did they make the change between processors without a hitch?

    Here's a quote from an Apple Insider article: "They both pulled off an immensely complex move of processors — with Jobs taking Apple from PowerPC to Intel — and both did it so well that it's easy to forget what a task it was." What would this task entail? How did they do it so well?

    Adding storage

    So it's possible to upgrade the internal storage of a new Mac, but my response to this video is HELL NO! I bought an external 8 TB Samsung SSD, and it was a fraction of cost of buying that much internal storage at the time of purchase and way easier than trying to replace the storage. For the...

    Boot Camp Assistant app hidden and barely launches on Apple Silicon. Any way to force it to run SOLELY for purging disk space?

    This is NOT a post about how to dual boot Windows on an Apple Silicon Mac. I realize that is not possible at this time. However, one cool thing that not everyone knows about the Boot Camp Assistant app is that when it first starts up and you click Next/Continue and advance to the next stage...

    Has anyone repasted M1, M2, M3, M4 MBPs?

    I know repasting is not really necessary as these Apple silicon chips run pretty cool. However, the MAX machines can run into thermal throttling, so I'm curious if anyone has done it and what their experience with this was in terms of temp differences and difficulty, etc. I had a hell of a time...

    How would an M5 help?

    I am considering getting an AVP but I know that M5 is rumored to be coming "some time in 2025." Personally, though, I have not heard of anyone complaining about CPU bottlenecking on the AVP. Would an M5 upgrade even be noticeable? Is it worth the wait?

    M1 MacBook Air screen fading to white when lid is at certain angles

    This started 6 months ago, and back then the fading happened at a very small angle when the lid is almost fully open or closed. Mostly just an inconvenience as restarting fixed that issue for some duration. However overtime the angles that would make the screen fade out become larger and...

    This laptop fell out of a car. Not really sure to what extent it was ran over, but it does have a large indent on the bottom side. With this being an M1 Late 2020 Macbook Pro, I cannot simply remove the drive to retrieve data. The logic board has a slight bend, particularly where the heat pipe...

    Recommended to get bigger SSD when choosing more RAM? / Hibernate on Mac

    Hey all, I'm curious how hibernate works on the MacBook Pros... I'm used to Windows reserving the amount of RAM in Gigabytes on the SSD, so that it can copy the content from the RAM to the SSD when hibernating. How does that work on the MacBook Pros / in MacOs? I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro...
