    Is something wrong with my new 2021 iMac 24”?

    I just received this iMac about 6 days ago. I ordered it officially through the Apple website. When I turned it on, the screen looked a little odd to me. Like there was too much light internal light shining through the display causing it to look overly bright and washed out in some areas. If...

    Buying advice - switch from MBP clamshell to desktop?

    My home system has been a mid-2015 MBP 15" in clamshell mode with an old DellU2711 monitor, rarely using the laptop as a portable device. Office system is Windows based but we are completely Apple-based on home. Post COVID, I'm now mostly remote, permanently, and am considering trading in the...

    When to expect ARM Mac Mini?

    It seems like the first set of ARM macs will be MacBooks. With Apple saying the transition period will take around 2-3 years, when can we expect an ARM Mac Mini? They seem to have neglected it and it is due for an update having only 8th gen CPU atm. Only other current mac with 8th gen CPU is...
