    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...

    M4 Mac Mini or M4 Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone, I've been very interested in the Mac Mini for the last year or so, but the release of the M4 Mini made me even more excited. In considering the Mac mini, I became curious about the cost difference between it and going for a Macbook Pro. I would get a Touch ID Magic Keyboard...

    M4 Pro with 48GB RAM or M4 Max with 36 GB RAM for 3D modeling / (realtime) rendering, which is the best choice?

    I’m sorry if this is not the right place or this question has been asked already, but most of the advice that I’ve seen regarding the M4 Max vs. M4 Pro I see pertains to running LLMs and/or video editing. I currently have a late 2019 Intel Macbook Pro and it’s time for an upgrade. My use case...

    Uneven Local Dimming in HDR on MacBook Pro M3 Mini-LED Display

    I've noticed that in dark scenes, certain areas appear much darker than others, like shadows within the dark scenes, and it looks unnatural. Is this a characteristic of the Mini-LED display, or could it be a software/hardware issue? If you look closely at the images, you’ll notice these darker...

    Early Russian review of the M4 MacBook Pro?

    Just had this brought to my attention. I've only skimmed through the video, but it looks as if they've managed to get the M4 MacBook Pro early. Not out of the question considering that it should already be in mass production at this point. Hopefully nobody beats me to posting this here.
