    Considering a new Macbook for using with Logic Pro X - need options..

    Hello, I currently have an old 2012 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB & 500GB SSD running MacOS Monterey OCLP. Also have a 2008 MBP but this is ancient and can no longer tollerate Logic! However Logic often gives me spinning beachballs which are a pain. I am not 100% sure I can afford an M1 Macbook...

    iOS 16 device backups: supported with macOS El Capitan (10.11.6) and newer!

    Whew - iOS releases have gotten to be quite a nail-biter time of year for me with my ol' macOS 10.13 High Sierra! Glad to see those of us with macOS 10.11+ still have the ability to backup our phones with the shiny new iOS version.

    MacBook Pro retina 2013 - logic board CPU broken?

    Hi guys, I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro because my 2013 model stopped powering on. I had it taken to a repair shop where they changed the battery and looked at it for a while but said the issue was with the logic board and that it would be expensive to replace. I pulled it out of...

    I think I've found the best way to remove the notch on MacBooks

    I was inspired by this post on StackExchange. Adjust screen resolution to 16:10, and everything should go below the notch. I don't have a MacBook with a notch, so I went to an Apple Store to give this idea a try. The first two things that came to my mind are SwitchResX (as in that post) and...

    M1 MBP with dual monitors?

    So I've got a co-worker with a 2020 M1 13" MBP. I understand that it cannot support dual monitors. However, I am under the impression that there are work-arounds? Has anyone tried these?

    Safari always using significant energy. How to fix this?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch with M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM. Whenever I work on safari my battery stats always show that it is using significant energy even if only a single tab is open. Is it normal or something I should be worried about?

    Macbook pro: Fixing loose/wobbly keycaps

    It's not a well-known issue, but there have been a few reports of macbook pros (2010 - 2015) having loose or wobbly keycaps. Now this isn't something you would really notice unless it bothered you (especially since you would acclimate to it over time), but since I couldn't find any information...

    After deciding and think about it, I bought AppleCare+ for my MBP 14"

    I recently bought MBP 14" and was undecided if AC+ was worth it, after researching many internet pages and YT videos one thing was clear, if your MacBook costs ~$1000 is not worth it, if your MacBook costs ~$2000 is totally worth it. Previously I had MBP 13" (Early 2015) and never needed any...

    M1 Max 16 inch, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD: Best laptop I've ever had (working in academia, data heavy)

    I've had the 16-inch M1 Max for 9 months now and working on this device has been a true pleasure every day so far. Sharing my experience below. I traded in my Macbook Pro 2015 which lasted me 7 years (I'd say one of the best laptops Apple ever made). Apple still gave me $480 for it, and I hope...

    Could Apple get sued for SSDgate?

    You may already know that Apple uses 1 single NAN chip in their M2 MacBooks. However, this comes at a huge cost in performance. The 256 GB SSD model on the M2 performs WORSE than the M1 models. That is what SSDgate is. Apple also makes the claim that the M2 MacBooks are faster, but they give...
