    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...

    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...

    Is it worth upgrading to the 10-core CPU on the base model 14” MacBook?

    I’m upgrading from a MacBook Pro 2016 256gb. It’s been ok so far, but I’ll be using my laptop more for school. I think the base model is good for me. Is upgrading to the 10-core CPU worth it? I saw it’s only $180 to upgrade to the 10 core cpu. I was also planning on upgrading to the 96W USB-C...

    Are you replacing your 2019 MBP 16" with M1 Pro/Max MBP 16"?

    I'm currently using 2019 MacBook Pro 16" too, and wondering how many 2019 MBP 16" users are buying the new M1 Pro/Max MBP 16". (I'd really like to get one, but am a little hesitant because 2019 MBP's used price dropped a lot after Apple released M1 Macs and the replacement cost is so high...)

    Lack of Modems in new MBPs

    Rumors indicate there could be a slight possibility of modems in the new MacBook Pros. Obviously that didn’t happen. I’m curious if anyone is disappointed by this? Some thoughts: - While it would distract from iPad sales to have 5G in MacBook Pros, I can see the obvious advantages of not having...
