    Why No M4 16" MBP?

    I am upgrading from a 2017 intel 15" MBP and am having a hard time to determine which new MBP to purchase. The issue is that I don't think that I need the processor power of the M4pro or M4max as I am not doing crazy 4k/8k video or 3D graphics. But I like a large screen to have my work...

    Anyone else have their screen randomly flicker on the new 16" MBP?

    I've had my 16" MBP M2 Max 96GB RAM / 8TB drive for about a month. Yes, I maxed the ever-lovin' crap out of it because it's my first new Mac since 2005. :p The screen will occasionally and seemingly randomly flicker. It doesn't seem to do this consistently enough to tell what is causing it. I...

    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...

    Eta on 32g of Ram for M1/M2? When can we expect the new Mac Book Pro 16’?

    As a media guy, I’m looking to update to the latest innovation but I’m waiting for the M1/M2 chip to get 32g of ram support (or more). I’ll be fine with the current version if we could get a 16’ Mac Book Pro. Anyone anywhere got an idea when that might happen? WWDC? Fall? Anyone heard any...

Then later, upon closer examination, I noticed that my laptop had been set to a completely different...
