    Fastest Most Stable macOS for Intel i9 MBP 16"

    Hi which is the Fastest Most Stable macOS for Intel i9 MBP 16" in your experience? I have kept updating in the hope things would get better but Ventura blows locked up in a kernel panic or overheat 1-3 times a day. It's also slower than previous MacOS. I think they optimised code for M1 & M2...

    Devious marketing of M2

    Some sneaky marketing on Apple's part... This article points out that they're comparing the M2 Mac Mini to an older computer (2 generations back) and claiming it's 5x faster than this "bestselling PC." That's pretty devious. How does it compare to a current gen Intel CPU of a similar price...

    I’m keeping my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro… FOREVER!!

    Yep, that’s right. I’ve purchased my fair share of Macs for myself and my family over the last 10 years And have been very happy with every purchase. Every machine has lasted for at least 5 years, most longer than that before trading them in for newer models. And in the last 2 years I started...

    I'm looking for a current Intel Mini model, but all used/refurb models seem to have at least Catalina installed. I depend on a 32-bit app, so would want to downgrade to Mojave.

If not did 12.1 or 12.2 fix them, or did you find an alternative solution? It's driving me mad that I still cannot use my external Dell displays when...

    M1 or Intel mini for gr.design?

    I was thinking of the new M1 mini to replace my old 27” corei7 mid2010 iMac. I wanted it for Graphic Design work but I have no clue if the grafx card it uses will satisfy my needs. Should I prefer the M1 or the intelMini? Might there be more chips for the Mini in the near future?
