    Keyboard Backlight Bleed on new 14 and 16 inch MacBooks?

    Hi all, I bought myself a new 14 inch MacBook Pro and immediately saw the backlight bleed on the keyboard. Light shines underneath some keys while this is not the case on other keys. It is not a huge issue and also not a defect of course and I know that I am a bit OCD about this but I just...

    How has your 14” or 16”MacBook Pro worked with external 27” displays?

    Future of the MacBook Pro notch?

    I'm considering getting a MacBook pro within the next couple years and I'm curious about peoples' thoughts about the future of the notch.

    13" M1 Air vs Pro

    I’m currently deciding between the M1 Air and 13” Pro, both at 16GB/512GB, the price difference is £235. Unfortunately I had to return the 14” as I found out I’m sensitive to PWM at that level, so only have the option of these two. My current laptop is a mid-2014 MBP which I’ve had since...
