    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...

    5120 x 1440 on a 2019 Macbook Pro 16''

    I've got a 16" 2019 MacBook Pro with AMD Radeon Pro 5300M GPU. I've got it connected to the Samsung Neo G9 (5120 x 1440 resolution, 240 Hz) via a USB-C to HDMI cable (this one), but I am limited to 3840 x 1080 resolution. How can I achieve the full 5120 x 1440 resolution here? I don't care if...

    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...)

    Ordering a MBP - help choosing options. Thanks!

    I'm sitting here with my wife trying to configure her new MBP and we're having some debate over what to get. She is a virtual teacher so her computer is very important to her. It needs to operate smoothly and always be up to the task, no matter what it may be. On a daily basis, she is doing...

    How much ram: 16 vs 32?

    Greetings everyone, Context: - For the last decade, I've been using a late 2011 MBP 15'/ i7 2.3GHz/ 16GB RAM. Served me incredibly well, but has been running slower and slower for the past 12-18months (+ errors, etc), and now struggles significantly with gaming and multitasking. - I multitask a...

    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...

    Protection for new AS Macs

    Hey all, with the new shape and dimensions for the pro laptops, old cases and covers won’t fit. If you plan on protecting your new Mac when it arrives, what case/sleeve you will use? Any idea on how long the manufacturers take to produce them? I can’t imagine they are rushing like with new...

    Notch on a Pro Laptop - A Modern Day Disaster

    This is ridiculous, what on Earth were they thinking? I have a Macbook Pro and I definitely won’t be ‘upgrading’ to this awful looking thing. There is no need for any fancy cameras or even face id on a pro macbook. Regardless if the notch area goes black in fullscreen mode, it will still cause...

    New Macbook Pro EPP predictions

    Hey all! Very excited about the new Macbook Pro but it looks like it still isn't available for the EPP (or friends and family discount) looking at the forums, it looks like the last few Apple machines had a delay for the discounts too. Does anyone know when we might see it become available for...

    The new MBP‘s single biggest flaw is the Headphone Jack location

    This bothers me a lot while not even being affected by it (yet). Adapter users will now have to choose to either use their left-side USB C adapter, or the headphone jack, as the adapter will cover the all-new and bestest-yet jack. I‘m talking about the adapter „bars“ you basically attach to both...

    MBP 14"/16" 32GB Buyers: M1 Pro or M1 Max

    So, the new MBP's are looking pretty amazing, but let's be honest, they're also pretty expensive, particularly if you need more RAM or a faster SOC. Given that it's $400(!) to go from 16GB -> 32GB of ram, bringing the total cost to an eye watering $2399 for the 14" model with the base M1 Pro SOC...

    MBP for Logic X/Native Instruments

    Hi Everyone, Need some advice on the new MBP's. I currently have a 2015 13-inch (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16GB Ram). I use the laptop for day-to-day tasks but the main reason I'm looking at the new MBP's is that I use my computer for heavy Logic X use (primarily with Native Instruments)...
