    NEC monitor issue with M1 MacBook

    I have the NEC PA272W and recently hooked it up to my new MacBook with M1 chip. It is cabled HDMI to HDMI and USB-B (monitor) to USB-A (Mac).

    Monitor scaling performance on MacbookPro M1

    Hey Macbook owners. Most of you knows about Macbook weak performance using resolution scaling for external monitors. Currently I am on Macbook Pro 2015 15" top spec, and after I purchased LG 4K monitor, I met that issue face to face as well. From what I understood checking the web that MBP...

    What MacOS feature did this? Power Nap or something else? A download started at a cafe, completed while my MBA was still closed but once I got home.

    I was at a cafe downtown trying to download a huge file, but the cafe’s connection was too slow (I was only able to download about 20% of it) so eventually I gave up, closed my M1 Macbook Air and went home. Sometime later (after I had arrived back at home) I opened my backpack, and re-opened my...

    M1 Mini restarting a lot

    I've had an M1 Mac Mini since about a month ago. I migrated from an older Macbook Pro. 11.2.2 I've noticed that it has had to restart due to a 'problem' (ie, this mac had to restart due to a problem. Report?') It's done this at least 3 times since I've had it. Should I be worried?

    Do RAM upgrades make less sense for M1 machines?

    With new M1 Macs, we only get two options for the RAM: 8 and 16GB. My current daily driver is a base model of MBA 2017. With many tabs open, Pages, Preview, etc., it is starting to feel like it's not enough. Next week I'm getting M1 Air with 16GB of RAM (well, 99% sure of that). We all know...

    M1 Macs external display + sidecar

    Hey, Some people have been saying that the new macs will only support one external display, but there's been no clear information whether that includes an iPad in sidecar mode or not. Can anyone with the new M1 mac check that and confirm? I've really been wanting to get one, but if having an...
