    Odds of Cinema Display with OWC Dock Working in Ventura on M1?

    I'm thinking about moving to Ventura from Monterey on my 16" M1 Macbook pro to use some Ventura only software. Currently working in Monterey: M1 Macbook Pro -> OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock -> buncha stuff + Apple Cinema Display, ancient, with Mini Display Port. I know there are better monitors than...

    Is Apple’s new “Pro = Beefy” design language a mistake?

    After exclusively purchasing MacBook Pros, my next Mac is likely to be a MacBook Air — not because I want an Air, but because the MacBook Pro is too damn bulky. However, this “Pro = Beefy” design language is not relegated to the Apple Silicon MacBook Pros. The issue extends to the M1/M2 iPad...

    Sketchy Bar configuration

    I installed an app called Sketchy Bar on my computer, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the configuration shown in this picture, taken straight from the Sketchy Bar GitHub page. What commands should I put in, what colors to use, ect.

    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...

    would there be significant difference between 10Core CPU and 12 Core CPU?

    I am looking at the new MacBook Pros and there is a $450 price difference (CAD) if you pick 12 Core CPU and 19 Core GPU. Is this a significant improvement to justify the $450?

    Macbook Pro M2 14 Config Advice

    I'm about to upgrade to a new Macbook. I've tried the MBA M2 and whilst it's great I've found the screen is a bit too small for me. The MBP 14 seems like the right size (I've checked out the 16-inch version and it's a bit too big). I'd like to get some advice from the group on a good...

    Why does the macbook pro 13" m2 even exist?

    When the air costs exactly the same? Wouldn't it have made more sense for apple to release a single macbook laptop with fans in order to clearly seperate the pro 14"+ from the average consumer lines? If there was a macbook 13" with a fan I would buy it in a heartbeat but my only option is an...

    Macbook Pro M1 Pro 16" Upgrade

    I currently have a Macbook Pro M1 Pro 16" which is great although I'm starting to hit some performance issues. As it's the base spec and I use the laptop for development with 2 Apple Studio Displays, after I have a few applications open it significantly starts to slow down the computer to the...

    [Australia] How often are delivery dates brought forward for M2 Pro/Max?

    I've ordered a 14" M2 Max(12/38) MBP (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). It's not the standard 14" M2 Pro/Max and my understanding is that Apple adds some additional delivery 'padding' as it's classified as a custom order. Delivery date is saying the 10th of February. Has anyone had their delivery dates...

    Are these Macbook Pro deals real?

    https://bervol.com/?s=macbook+pro&post_type=product&product_cat=0 These prices are way better than anywhere else. They don't say they're open-box, refurbished, etc. Is there something suspicious about this store?

    Resolved Help/Idea - MBP M1 Pro/Max No Display Output in HDMI with Clamshell mode

    I wonder if anyone experience the same issue with MacBook Pro 14/16 with M1 Pro/Max chip; if you only plug in HDMI cable to your monitor and a mouse via USB. Close the MacBook Pro lid down into clamshell mode. The display will never wake up, as if the computer is just sleeping. No matter what I...

    What are some of the best older MacBook Pro models that still hold up today?

    I'm looking for a used MacBook Pro and have been doing some research. I know the models up to 2012 can be upgraded (RAM), I've also seen people say that the 2015 15" models are great because they have a lot of ports, I've seen a few on eBay with the i7 and 16gb for ~$300. I've also read that...

    Black please!

    I think it is time for Apple to move on (or back..) and offer us a truly, deeply, enormously desired, Black Macbook Pro. I don't mean the blue midnight option on the MBA, nor the shiny Jet Black which was available on iPhones. What I want is a real matte black aluminum Macbook, let me even pay...

    Repair delays - anyway way to expedite?!

    I put my MacBook Pro M1 into repair on the 3rd January at Sydney Apple Store due to the keyboard failing. Was told it would be completed by the 11th January (simple top section replacement) so I figured it was worth doing so I could have it for the rest of my stay in Aus until the end of the...
