    Worth upgrading from a M1 Max (10 core CPU / 32 core GPU) to a M3 Max Base (14 core CPU / 30 core GPU)?

    I just bought a Macbook Pro M3 Max (Base with 14 CPU cores/30 core GPU cores). I'm upgrading from a M1 Max. I haven't gotten the computer yet but I'm wondering if I jumped the gun with upgrading my Macbook Pro when I really didn't need to... I'm curious what you guys think of my reasons for...

    Which of these monitors works best for MacBook Pro

    My company has upgraded my laptop to a MacBook Pro 16'' 2021 and after trying it at home with an old Dell 1080p monitor I've noticed text is blurry due to having very low dpi. I have a budget of around 450€ for a new display and I was thinking of buying a 27'' 4k monitor to use it with 2k to...

    M1 Pro Max - Slow 6 Months in?

    I was impressed with my nearly maxed out MacBookPro M1 Pro Max 32GB. It was the fastest computer I'd ever used and I felt like nothing I could throw at it could slow it down. Truly felt invincible. 6 months in, and I'm getting spinning beachballs everywhere and using my $5000 Mac feels like...

    I have a 16 inch 2021 MBP. Also have an M1 Mac Mini (worth $360 resale), and a 12.9" 2021 iPad Pro (worth $670 resale). The Mac Mini & iPad were my daily drivers, until I got the 16 inch MBP this April. Now I don't use the iPad anymore. Mac Mini is hooked up to 49" Samsung Odyssey G9. I use...

    Random flicker 16" M1 MBP

    Hi all. I've noticed so really small flicker on my 16" M1 MBP. Its like the screen momentarily (like 25th of second) dims. Only seems to happen if someone white is on the screen. If I close windows it seems to go away. Has anyone else noticed this? Michael

    (Update: RESOLVED) Brand New M1 MacBook Pro does not see any other Macs or Network Drives— Can anyone assist?

    Hey Folks, My job recently saddled me with a new 16" MacBook Pro M1 (Apple M1 Pro Chip/16GB RAM/500GB SSD) that came stock with MacOS Monterrey (MacOS 12). The main issue is whenever I attempt to look up a local mac on my home network by its name (e.g. MacMini.local), or look for a local...

    M1 Macbook Pro - Target Display Mode?

    Hello everyone, I recently bought one of the latest MacBook Pro 16" with M1 Pro processor, to replace my "old" 2019 MacBook Pro 16" with touchbar. I use my old 2021 27"iMac as an external monitor (iMac plugged with thunderbolt cable + thunderbolt/usb-c converter plugged into the MacBook Pro)...

    What are the actual power requirements of the MBP 16" M1 Max 10 CPU/32 GPU MacBookPro18,2 (A2485 - 2021) and can it accept a 100W USB-C power input?

    I'm looking at using the Targus USB-C universal Quad 4K docking station with 100W power delivery via USB-C with a MacBookPro18,2. The Targus tech support folks seem to believe that this will work based on some 16" M1 Max MacBook Pros seemingly accepting the 96W power bricks, but I have only seen...

    Hello everyone. I scanned the last many pages of this forum before creating this thread. I’ve made up my mind to buy the 16” MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro spec. The issue is that I’m really hesitant about buying it given that it has only been on the market for such a short time. A very...

    Apple Music Not blown away by Dolby Atmos spatial audio

    This may or may not be a controversial post. After listening quite a bit on both my 2021 16" MacBook Pro & my new Apple AirPods 3, I find myself going into Apple Music preferences & turning Dolby Atmos off. Some songs sound good. There seem to be more songs though that don't sound that great...

    We now have TopNotch, the app that makes your menubar turns black to 'hide' the notch.

    This app will automatically adds a black bar with 74px height on the top of your wallpaper, so that the notch is 'invisible' on desktop. It works with multiple-monitor setup and dynamic wallpapers, and is currently free. You can get more info at https://topnotch.app

    I ordered my first new Mac in 8 years this week and am pretty excited to finally upgrade. I noticed that there are no protective cases available yet for the new 14" or 16" MacBook Pros. I searched my heart out and cannot find any information on when these may released by third parties. Does...
