    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)...

    New Macbook Pros look like Powerbook G4 Titanium

    Did you recognize that also? That was the first thing when I saw them and loved the new design. Also, appreciated that Apple made the new models thicker and heavier. No more thinness craze after all, huh?

    Poll: How long will it take Apple to add FaceID to Mac notebooks?

    It seems certain that FaceID will come to desktop Macs first, but considering the notch is here, how long do you think it will take for Apple's notebooks to get FaceID?

    The new 2021 MBP is chonky & thicc - do you like the design/form factor?

    Am I the only one that loved the weight of my 3lbs Macbook Pro? The extra 0.5lbs on the 14" (3.5lbs total) does something to me where it could cross the threshold of just being to heavy and I hate that on my back. The 2021s 14" ~1cm thicker in width, ~1cm thicker in depth, ~0.6cm thicker in...

    M1 Max 32GB vs 64GB RAM? Use cases for each

    I’m about to for these new MBPs… For the new M1 MAX Chip, why would one use 64GB RAM over 32 GB of RAM? What are you specifically using it for? What applications if any specifically you found 64GB helps/is really needed? Any thoughts on having that amount of RAM?

    Notch on the M1X MacBook Pro? [MERGED]

    Hi guys, I'm so excited for the M1X Pros and I can't wait to order my 14", but I couldn't wrap my head around the resolution of the new displays: Current displays have a perfect 16:10 resolution: MB Air / MB Pro 13": 2560x1600 -> 2560/1600=1,6 MB Pro 16": 3072x1920 -> 3072/1600=1,6 But the...

    Why an iMac or Mac Mini when you can buy a MacBook Pro and dock it?

    I have got an iMac 27 5k late 2014 which accomplished a lot of work until today. Two months ago I replaced my almost no used MacBook Pro 2016 with a MacBook Pro M1. And now I wanted to replaced my desktop old 5k iMac with someone new, but the display size and resolution is very important to me...

    What do you folks use your Macbook's for?

    The new MBPs are right around the corner and I'm curious what everyone here will be using/use their Macbooks for? I personally will use mine for writing scripts/video editing, hobbyist programming, media consumption, and as my main computing device (in conjunction with a 4k LG monitor) What...
