    Is M1 iMac faster than MacBook Pro 15 2017 (base model)?

    I would really like to buy Apple Display (the cheaper one, currently in development according to Mark Gurman) and MacBook Pro 16 M1X. But currently both are not yet released. So I am considering (in the meantime) to buy M1 iMac to replace my 2017 15 inch MacBook Pro. I am going to use it for...

    WWDC 2021 disappointment (then realization)

    As someone who is really looking forward to the 13/14 inch m2/m1x MacBook Pro, the rumors that it might be announced at WWDC were exciting to me, and convincing. When Apple did not announce the laptop I really want, I was honestly pretty bummed. But then I realized, or just remembered that it's...

    SSD Issue on ARM Macs

    Because there is a huge thread now, it’ll be hard to read what is discussed about this issue and what has helped. TL;DR: Update to 11.4 Big Sur as soon as you can to solve the SSD issue. As many are already aware (and to those who are new to this issue), the problem was largely fixed by macOS...

    Thoughts on dedicated GPU being present in refreshed 16" MacBook Pro?

    Hello all. I've been having some thoughts that I've been wanting to voice but I haven't been sure on how to put it and, more importantly, where. I haven't seen much discussion on this recently, so I figured I'd start a forum thread on it. I've been thinking quite a bit about the future of the...

    Is Microsoft Edge Apple Silicon or Not?

    Silicon Info reports that Microsoft Edge is M1 enabled, and isapplesiliconready.com says that it has been since version 88 (currently running 90). But check out my screenshot.

    As a media guy, I’m looking to update to the latest innovation but I’m waiting for the M1/M2 chip to get 32g of ram support (or more). I’ll be fine with the current version if we could get a 16’ Mac Book Pro. Anyone anywhere got an idea when that might happen? WWDC? Fall? Anyone heard any...
