    Hey, I'm having a hard time deciding between 8gb and 16gb for the m1 Mac mini. I work on an iOS project that has around 2000 files. Yeah 16gb should be a no brainer but I have a constraint.

    Are There Any Issues with Wacom Graphics Tablet Drivers for M1 based Machines?

    Hello, I was curious if Wacom Drivers emulate well on M1 ARM-based Macs or if it's just completely hung up on x86 based ones? Also, I can't seem to find if any of these graphics tablet companies are developing or have already developed drivers for the new Macs yet. Maybe I'm just looking in...

    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...
