    Should I Return M1? Screen-tearing on LG5K & Bluetooth Issues

    Hi, I've been having a lot of issues with my M1 Mac mini unfortunately. The most of any Apple Product I've ever used! So I got the Mac mini (16GB/1TB) & the LG Ultrafine 5K for Christmas. I have 2 days left in my return window so I have to make my decision pretty quick. These are the issues I...

    Washed-out colours in the macOS Interface When Enabling HDR

    Hello. I recently purchased an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of Ram, but I'm experiencing some weird issues with HDR. I think the problem is on the mac side, as everything seems to be OK in Windows 10 (I have a gaming PC too). I own a Del PD2700U 4K Designer Display which while being natively 8-bit...

    M1 Virtualization: UTM vs Parallels?

    Hi all, So I have my new M1 MacBook Air and I’m looking to virtualize Windows and stop carrying around two laptops, now that Windows on ARM supports x64 emulation (albeit horribly, but support nonetheless). Can anyone that has tried both the new Parallels M1 Preview and UTM (essentially QEMU)...

    How does M1 perform as a server?

    I was tempted to name this thread, "GoFundMe: help me replace all of my servers..." :D Hypothetically, has anyone seen impressive benchmarks on the M1 performing as a server? API/Web/Database/FTP/Email... etc? Traditionally speaking, service providers use our favorite flavor of Linux and load...

    x86 (5nm) vs M1 (10nm)

    How much of the performance / power efficiency do you think is attributed to design (and vertical integration) versus being built on a smaller transistor size? If Intel x86 chips were on 5nm today, what do you think the power efficiency/performance gap would be? What if M1 chips were on 10nm...

    M1 massiv problems: 700GB drive usage each day, stuttering music and much more

    Hello to all M1 users, I have my Mac mini (16gb) for about a week now, and it is horrible. The Mac is connected to one 4K screen and one FHD screen. I am using Chrome, Safari, Zoom, Tidal and sometimes PyCharm and Xcode. If I start one or two Xcode simulators, my sound starts stuttering for...

    M1 MBP First Impressions (Former 16" MBP Owner)

    Former 16" MBP owner here who just got an M1 MBP. For the last year, my daily driver has been an Intel i9 2.3GHz 8-Core MBP w/ 5500M GPU. Sounds like a pretty hefty laptop to most people... until the M1. I've spent the last day doing a fresh install and hand-migrating everything from scratch...

    Different delivery times after ordering via business account over phone vs online store

    Not sure if anyone has had this issue before but I ordered a new custom config M1 MacBook Pro with 1tb SSD and 16gb RAM over the phone with my business account via my local Apple store. They quoted delivery times of 3 weeks, which is fine. When I got the order confirmation through, it states 3-4...

    iOS Base M1 MacMini for Xcode only. 8gb or 16gb?

    Hey, I'm having a hard time deciding between 8gb and 16gb for the m1 Mac mini. I work on an iOS project that has around 2000 files. Yeah 16gb should be a no brainer but I have a constraint. I live in Brasil, everything has a 97% tax on it after currency conversion, so the base MacMini starts at...

    My Thoughts on Future Mac ARM Chips

    I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about a higher-end M-series chip used in the iMac, 16” MBP, etc. The problem is that most people are calling this the M2 chip, which I think is incredibly unlikely. The M1, despite its incredible performance, is Apple’s entry level, power-efficient chip. They’ll...

    Best Laptop I’ve Ever Owned

    My only reason for posting this is if anyone in my situation is on the fence about pulling the trigger on an M1 MacBook Air. I am admittedly an Apple fanboy and have an embarrassing amount of Apple stuff (some of these are several generations old though)- iMac, iPad Pro, iPhone, Mac Mini as...
