    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...

    Stuck at between 14 vs 16! I need your help

    Hello, I own a 2015 MacBook Pro 15 and intend to purchase a new Mac (or two). I'm an entrepreneur with a focus on technology and investing.

    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...

    Waiting for the 2022 MBP

    The long awaited 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro’s are finally here and landing in people’s laps, as is tradition time to start up the wait for the next iteration I guess? I’m not expecting a lot of people to be along for the wait to the successors of the M1 Pro and M1 Max MBPs, which may be good...

    Any way to force 120hz on MacBook Pro? And any way to check current refresh rate?

    Hi, I had a couple of questions about the ProMotion 120hz displays. Can I force or ensure that the screen is 120hz (not adaptive)? I need this because the MacBook isn't adaptively ramping up to 120hz yet when they should be (more like 80hz or so). so I need to wait for Apple to adjust it. Is...

    MBP 14" defective keyboard?

    Has someone noticed some strange noises when gently touching, without actually pressing, certain keyboard keys on the new MBP 14" keyboard? On mine I have this strange noise on 50% of the keyboard's keys. On some of them it is more evident. It's not that easy to explain, it is as if the key has...

    14 vs 16 Mini LED difference: A Question for Experts

    If I am not wrong both 14 and 16 inch displays have 10.000 mini LEDs. At this point; because of 16 inch has larger area, there are less number of leds per unit of area. For example 14 inch display has more mini LEDS in x cm square compared to 16 inch display. At this point is it possible to...
