    M2 Macbook Pro - DAC Output Issue

    AUDIO - DAC output issues on M2 MacBook Pro: In the past... I would feed the headphone output of my Mac and feed it to a -10 to +4 converter via a 3.5mm to RCA cable to listen to the output on studio speakers. This has always worked without issue but not with the M2 MacBook Pro. I tried to...

    MacBook Pro battery at 90.3% after 7 months

    Hi, my boyfriend bought an M2 Pro MacBook Pro in February. He usually keeps the battery between 20% and 80% (pretty obsessive even) but we noticed the charge isn't lasting very long so we checked with Coconut Battery and it says capacity is at 90.3% despite it being less than a year old. Is...

    MacBook Pro Buying Advice, You Hate Me

    You hate these posts. But I have no Mac nerd friends and I'm looking for opinions/advice! Running a 2017 MacBook Pro 15, but the screen is dying. I'm mostly a writer, but I do some graphic design and video editing. Nothing fancy, usually shoot and edit 1080p, rarely 4k, never RAW footage...

    Target Disk Mode Slow - Why?

    Hi, today was my first time using Target Disk Mode and it took a lot longer than I expected - around 35 minutes to transfer a 75GB file. In my opinion, it was pretty ideal conditions for a fast transfer between: an M1 MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) an M2 MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023) transferring a...

    M2 Max triple 4k@120hz possible?

    Can anybody confirm if the M2 Max MacBook Pro can drive three 4k monitors at 120hz? I'm looking to purchase monitors that would support this as natively as possible. I believe that would mean choosing 4k monitors that use DisplayPort so I can avoid the Thunderbolt to HDMI complications discussed...

    Buying 16" M2 Macbook Pro - Do I upgrade GPU/RAM?

    I do a lot of video editing - music videos mostly. All in 1080p, I might make the transition to 4k but that's not quite in demand by my clients just yet. Just to be clear, I'm getting the 1TB HD so that's not what is in question here. I'm curious if the base 19-core GPU/16GB RAM will suffice...

    Hello - I'm new to the forum so apologies if there has been discussions/threads about this already.

    M2 MacBook Air throttling is being vastly over-exaggerated

    From the evidence I've seen, I believe firmly that people are vastly overhyping the effects of the throttling in the M2 MacBook Air. The YouTube review I've seen so far with the most thorough benchmarks is Dave2D's, and he went so far as to say that "if you're someone that wants a very powerful...

    M2 MacBook Pro SSD read/write speeds compared to M1

    Okay, there are a couple YouTubers who have done BlackMagic Disk Speed Tests on the M2 13inch MacBook Pro, and have found that the speeds are SLOWER than the M1 13inch. I've done some investigating and discovered what I think the difference is. MaxTech got a write of 1463 MB/s and read of...
