    VMware Heads Up

    I have been using Parallels Desktop on Apple Silicon and Intel. But I ran into a chip-related USB serial port issue on Apple Silicon. Other USB-C devices work well on it. In the past, I have used VMware Fusion and it is now out in Universal format as v 13.0.1. Updates appear to arrive slowly. I...

    What process node will the M3 chip use?

    So far, Apple's chips have used the following process nodes: A14/M1 - N5 A15/M2 - N5P A16 - N4, because TSMC's N3B node was not ready in time TSMC's N3 nodes are now ready, and there are two nodes at play, N3B and N3E. Nothing I've read has been clear on which node will be used for the M3...

    Buying 16" M2 Macbook Pro - Do I upgrade GPU/RAM?

    I do a lot of video editing - music videos mostly. All in 1080p, I might make the transition to 4k but that's not quite in demand by my clients just yet. Just to be clear, I'm getting the 1TB HD so that's not what is in question here. I'm curious if the base 19-core GPU/16GB RAM will suffice...

    Would you like a 13" MacBook with active cooling and a Pro Processor?

    As the announcement of the 15" MacBook is nearing and knowing it will probably also have the option for a Pro class Processor along with active cooling, would you like to see a similar 13" model with the same specs? I assume the design is probably going to be different to the new MBA one so a...

    Synology NAS compatible with M1 chip/Apple Silicon?

    I'm thinking of buying a NAS for centralized backup (with access from different devices), simple cloud backup and to offload a small internal storage in the Mac mini M1. Is Synology compatible with Apple Silicon now in 2023? As it is a costly investment, I want it to go smoothly.

    M1 MAX or M2 MAX? Need an advice.

    Hi guys! I don't know what to do. I found a really great bargain on a lightly used Macbook M1 MAX 64 GB 10 CPU 32 GPU - 5 battery cycles, used a couple of times. I use the laptop mainly for editing 4K videos. Today the M2 MAX came out. Let me recalculate for you how the prices look like in...

    Macbook M1 MAX or wait for M2 MAX?

    Hi guys! I currently own a Macbook Pro M1 Pro 10 CPU 16 GPU and 16 GB RAM. I'm a filmmaker/video editor and as until a while this 16 GB ram was okay now I'm experiencing a slowdown, if I give a lot of effects it just lags and slows down my work, it just pisses me off because I don't have smooth...

    Are MacBooks with Apple Silicon affected by "flexgate"?

    In Internet there are mixed opinions about whether MacBooks with Apple Silicon chips that have the 2016 MacBook Pro exterior design (MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13" M1/M2) are affected by the fatigue present on the display flex cable due to opening and closing the lid, so I would like to ask...

    Should Apple bring back the Xserve with Apple silicon?

    In the 2000s, Apple sold the Xserve, a rack-mounted server system. In 2011, it was discontinued and replaced with server versions of the Mac mini and Mac Pro. Over a decade after the Xserve was discontinued, Apple is about to transition the Mac Pro to Apple silicon, with M2 Ultra or M2 Extreme...
