    How do you prefer to right-click? Two-finger click or bottom-right corner click?

    I've always stuck with the bottom right corner click, but I've noticed more and more mis-clicks since the haptic touchpads came around. Sometimes it just doesn't register or I have to get a lot further over. Never cared for the two-finder click but it seems more reliable, unfortunately. What...

    Choice between MacBooks super awkward... M2/M3 Air for professional work?

    I never wanted to post a lame "What should I buy" post, but I've also never been so unsure before... I am a photo and video professional and my rMBP 2014 has become virtually unusable. The situation has been ok because I mostly use my M1 Mac Studio for serious work anyway. But I also need a...

Not sure why, after I updated to the latest version 14.5 (23F79), when I plug my charge, it is not charging up and is gradually draining power from 98% to 92%. I restarted the MacBook Air M2 and it is still the same thing. I plugged...

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    How much better is the M3 MacBook Pro Display vs the M3 MacBook Air display?

    For a long time, iPad Air displays were good enough. But then I got my first iPad Pro with Pro Motion 120hz refresh and now I can never go back. I’m in the market to replace my 2018 MBA retina and I’m wondering if the better display on the MacBook Pro is worth it over the Air? Is it as drastic...
