    HI I have a MacBook Pro that is mine but as I used it for work and worked in a large corporation with strict GDPR rules, the MacBook had to be set up by the IT team and as such has MDM profiles on it. I have left this corporation now and despite many requests, the likelihood of them removing...

    Who is using Adobe CC on a new 14" with iPad Pro as second screen via Sidecar?

    Can you extend PS or LR application across to the iPad so palettes and tools are on the iPad? Can the 11" iPP (or iPad Air) work well in portrait for this, or is the 13" iPP a better combination in either landscape or portrait? Even if you have a larger MBP, what are your experiences using an...

    MacBook Pro: A Look at Fifteen Years of Evolution

    Here is a little showcase of the many differences and perhaps even more similarities between the very first Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro 15" from January 2006 and the brand new M1 Max MacBook Pro 16". Given the many parallels in design between this new machine and the PowerBook Line and First...

    YouTubers stop saying Macbook Pro M1 Max is for CAD, VFX, 3D & Motion work (RTX Graphics Card comparison, Redshift, Unity, Zbrush)

    I’m tired of YouTubers saying oh “well if you’re doing VFX work, the MAX is for you…” but clearly have not themselves. Because unless you’re anyone who does real 3D or motion work often needs way more powerful & reliable, especially if you’re doing for a big studio. They have no idea what they...

    A MacBook Proem

    A man buying an M1 Mac asked “Which Apple to get for my lap? Is the Max not for pros? Are the Pros not the max? Boy, this naming scheme’s wack!” The salesman said back, “Just relax; Apple packed a whole lot in these Macs – headphone jacks are high-load, with mics better than Røde, and they have...

    And you thought MacBook Pro 16.2" has a lot of ports?!? (Comparison w/ Powerbook G4 17")

    I've seen a lot of posts comparing the size of the new 16.2" MacBook Pro to the old 17" Powerbook G4 1.67 Ghz. Here are a few photos for context to show you the size difference. Also, check out the sheer quantity of ports on that 17". I'm counts DVI, S-Video, Ethernet, Firewire 800, Firewire...

    Did Monterey brick anyone's Non-T2 chip Macbook?

    I have an Early 2015 Retina MBP 13" without the T2 Chip, thinking of updating to Monterey. I know the update on MBPs with T2 chips have been a mess, but curious what the experience has been like on even older Macs that don't have the chip. And even if it didn't brick, I'd love to know if it...

    Dimming on edges of screen (new 14/16 inch)

    Let me just begin with the fact that this isn’t really a defect, but rather a limitation of the way these screens are designed so essentially all of these new macbooks will have it. The same ’issue’ can be seen on 12.9 iPad screens. Im curious: Have you noticed the slight dimming around the...

    FINALLY upgrading, but can’t decide between 14/16” (sorry)

    I currently still have a 2014 (!) rMBP (15.4”) and have help off for years thanks to the crazy keyboard situation, then the tease of Apple custom chips, then M1 which was exciting but honestly stopped due to the same terrible webcam, among other little things. With the new M1 Pros, I’m finally...

    PSA: you probably don’t need 32 or 64Gb RAM unless you know you need it.

    With the new MBPs, this question is super-popular on these forums, and I see multiple posts spreading misinformation and FUD about 16Gb models, causing a bunch of people to most likely overspend of panic about their purchases. There is a lot of misunderstanding how RAM and swap files work and...
