    MB Air M1 running Logic Pro

    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...

    Why does x86 exist?

    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?

    Apple Silicon Event - November 17th?

    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...

    Going into photo/video editing. Should I wait or should I buy?

    Hello everyone, I've been using my MacBook Air late 2010 since then, and in a few months I'll have the opportunity to start working on shooting with DLSRs and such, and then post editing full-hd (perhaps more), so I'll definitely have to get a way more powerful Mac. I'm really tempted by the 16...

    Apple Silicon MacBooks and backlit logo

    One of the classic things ditched by Apple with the Intel transition was the glowing Apple backlit logo on their laptops. I don't know why this was removed (probably the thin lid). But do you think this classic backlit Apple logo makes a comeback with the new Apple Silicon based MacBooks?

    Is buying a upgraded MacBook Pro now still make sense since Apple it moving to Apple Silicon?

    Hi you guys, I’m preparing to buy a new MacBook Pro 16, but now that I researched a little more, I’m a little concerned. If I’m getting a MBP16 now, is it worthy to upgrade to a higher CPU? Or 32GB ram? Or 8GB GPU? it will mainly be used for Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, and I’m considering the...

    Run your "Mac" from your iPhone or iPad?

    Dream scenario here: what if in the future Apple Silicon world you could run your typical desktop from a mobile device? IE: plug your "iPhone 12" device into a 27" 4k monitor using USB-C on both devices and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse to bring up a full macOS envionrment? Has this idea been...

    Apple Silicon and the return of the Macintosh Server?

    Something has been nagging my brain since WWDC: the repeated mentions of Linux during the keynote. What if Apple was hinting at something major in the pipeline? For years the company attempted to enter the server market, think of the generations of Xserve from the G4 to Intel. Yet while the...
