    Are you getting the upcoming MBP with M5 Pro/Max or waiting for the rumoured redesigned MBP with M6 Pro/Max with reported OLED screen?

    For me im on the fence, the current MBP design is the best since 2015 maybe ever. Amazing picture and sound quality, efficient cooling, etc. With the rumoured 2026 M6 MBP having OLED, being thiner, I have concerns about cooling and the screen having burn in issue and so on. Maybe Apple will...

    What type of SSD is this?

    It came from my dead 2014 MBP. What form factor or whatever is this? The connector on it does not look like all my other M.2 drives. What kind of USB enclosure do I need to connect this to my new Mac?

    Could someone provide some guidance on whether it is advisable to upgrade my MacBook Pro M3 Max to the M4 Max or wait for a further year or two? Are the significant improvements substantial? Also, can someone share insights into the overall experience of the new nano texture display?

    Touch Bar should have been ADDED, not REPLACED

    So MacBook's unpopular Touch Bar is completely gone.... I think it was unique gimmick with something potential and it should have been ADDED to the full keyboard, instead of REPLACING the physical keys. What do you think?

    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...
