As somebody who held off buying a 16" intel as soon as I heard the rumors about AS, I was all aboard the AS train. There was no way I was going to buy an intel machine when Apple was coming out with new kit.
Then WWDC happened in June and they officially introed AS. It seemed impressive and the...
Hi guys,
Received my brand spanking new MA M1 yesterday and it's a great machine indeed. Fast and responsive!
However... I do find that my battery life is much shorter than what everybody have reported? I understand I wouldn't get 16 hours as reported, but I was expecting at least 10...? I...
Got the "Service Recommended" notification for the battery on my 12" MacBook Retina. It's running hot, and battery health is now 72% (declining by the day.) Under normal circumstances, I'd just pay the $200 for a new battery, but these new M1 MacBooks look so incredible, I think it might be a...
I bought an Intel-based MacBook Air last year. The fans are very loud and annoying. Other than that, my 2019 MBA works perfectly. Should I get an Apple Silicon Mac?
Posted this also on reddit ... controller support seems fine via things like Apple Arcade, but elsewhere is not working on M1 Macs. I only have a Dualshock PS4 Controller to test out, but it's working on Big Sur on Intel Macs. I tested input on 'Controllers Lite' and saw all the buttons are...
After quite a bit of testing, I have concluded that the USB bus on at least my Mac mini M1 does not actually support "USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)" as listed on the Tech Specs page.
I have a Samsung T5 USB-C SSD. It supports "USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gb/s" (Gawd, I hate USB 3.1+ naming conventions...†)...
Just got my M1 Mac mini.
Can confirm - only one single display over Thunderbolt, regardless of how you attempt to connect.
I tried:
Two USB-C-to-DisplayPort connections direct to back of Mini - only the first one got signal.
I tried a Thunderbolt 3 Dock that has two DisplayPort connections...
Hello everyone.
I was wondering if an M1 owner could test out if GZDoom is able to run under Rosetta 2. GZDoom is a free x86 OpenGL source port for the original Doom (1993).
You can download it from here:
https://zdoom.org/downloads
In order to get Doom running with GZDoom, you'll also need...
I know there are tons of posts with benchmarks and tests whether a given software works, but I would like to dedicate this thread to data science apps e.g. R, RStudio, SPSS, Python (I know it will work natively), QGIS and additional software that researchers use to create illustrations as e.g...
Fun fact: BootCamp Assistant is present, and according to System Report, it's a universal app (meaning Apple took the time to compile an ARM version of it...)
Observations (to be updated as they come):
Rosetta needs to be installed
I have attached pictures of the new bootloader.
I've owned a 2019 16" MBP for the better part of this year (i9 2.3GHz, 5500M, 16GB, 1TB) and frankly am seriously disappointed with this machine. I don't use this MBP for creative pro work, and it still gets super hot and noisy ♨️. My usage is mainly having 50-70 Chrome tabs open (with Chrome...
I have obtained a new report today from my source within Apple’s production line about the upcoming 16 inch MacBook Pro. My source tells me that there will likely be no refresh to the 16 inch MacBook Pro in 2020, but there will be an Apple Silicon refresh in Q3 that will only have a 12 core CPU...
Hello everyone! Just thought I would share the reasons why I cancelled my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro order.
I ordered it as soon as the store opened after the keynote, but as I read the documents, I discovered many little things that annoyed me to the point of making me wait for the next...
I'm a huge Mailplane fan and downloaded the latest update, which makes the app compatible with Big Sur. But it had a link to this note on compatibility with Apple Silicon:
https://mailplaneapp.com/help/apple_silicon_compatibility.html
This struck me as kind of alarming, not least because my...
Bought an MBP 13" 2020 3 weeks ago... arrived yesterday... (During the M1 announcement)
Do I return the original MBP (and the airpod pros i bought with it) and buy a new MBP with the M1 (without the airpods), or stick with the "latest" Mac book pro as per 3 weeks ago when i bought it....
HELP...
I've been waiting for a new MB for a long time. I've been using my MacBook Pro 2011 for a while for general work but also use Logic Pro and, unsurprisingly, can't take it anymore. I'm not an intensive user of Logic, typically with only 10 tracks on the go and mainly the built in plug ins, with...
Hi folks,
here's a guess what will happen at tonights Apple event: Apple will announce MacBooks that start at just $500. That's lower than Macbooks have been for the last 20 years.
Why?
Well first of all MacBooks are now very similar to iPads, and you know how low they can price these.
But...
Sorry if I'm dumb, but Apple silicon is ,according to rumors, supposed to be
more power efficient
generate less heat
but also more powerful (a14x better than core i9?)
and also be cheaper.
Then why has x86 ever become popular/the standard if Apple silicon/Arm is, I guess, better in every way?
Jon Prosser was tweeting this morning that he's hearing there will be an Apple Mac ARM event on the 17th November which may be confirmed by press release the Tuesday before, 10th November.
Given his recent hit rate with rumours I think its as reliable a rumour as we'll get and does tie-in with...
