    16gb Intel vs 8gb M1?

    I’m looking to get an used Macbook (doesn’t matter Air or Pro). I usually have hundreds of tabs open as well as several excel spreadsheets - which my 2015 MBP has been handling - but I want a faster processor. I’m unsure how the processor would affect the RAM usable. Would the 8gb M1 MBP be able...

    How much ram does the GPU use on Arm Chips (M2)? (Shared Memory)

    Running a 2019, 15inch 32gb MBP and my memory pressure occasionally goes into orange when going heavy in After Effects. Looking at buying a new machine, don't want to pick up a 64gb unnecessary as I would need to go for the Max Chips. But my concern is that the ram is shared between the GPU...

    Macbook Pro M1 lagging while editing movie. What are my options?

    I'm super disappointed with my M1. I purchased with 512 gb and 16gm ram. My main goal is video editing and some graphic design (nothing super demanding). Even if my videos are simple from clips, the processor lags while working in IMOVIE. And that's on a clean fresh mac with nothing installed...

    Why doesn't Apple make all iOS apps available on M1 Macs?

    Apple gave developers the option to prevent their apps from running on M1 Macs, citing that this may lead to poor user experience. From my perspective this is quite anti-user: this is a Mac, a fully-featured computer in which the user should be able to do whatever he wants! Users should be given...

At that time, I was still in university and my workflow was quite light. Now I'm working in marketing content creation, I also do freelance marketing/photography on the...
