    M1 UPS Delayed Shipment to UK...

    I purchased a 16GB 512GB M1 Macbook Pro from Apple's website on 11/12. It shipped on 17/12 via UPS, who estimated a delivery date of 23/12. This was all perfect, and the package was regularly updating so I figured this would be fine and it would reach me by 23/12. On 22/12, it was still in...

    Strange annoying noisy inside 2019 Macbook Pro 16 inch

    I bought this MacBook in April. The sounds started a couple of months ago. Apple service hasn't found anything. Because the sound is not constant. Who has encountered something like this?

    PowerBook G3 to M1 MacBook Pro - We sure have come a long way!

    I have to admit, this something I have been looking forward to comparing. Although they are not technically equals since the Wallstreet predates OS 10.0 by a few years, its a G3 that's a supported model. But when some of us complain about the constant progress of innovation, we have a lot to be...

    Big Sur made Nintendo Switch charger basically incompatible?

    Hi- I use a Nintendo Switch charger on my 2020 MacBook Pro when on the go and it's been fine at charging. Nothing fantastic, but enough to get the job done.

    torn between air and pro (regarding thermals)

    After the review embargo lifted, I watched tons of reviews, but I'm still torn. For context, I am a student in need of a new machine, and I will buy the M1 models. I do video editing sometimes, but probably nothing intensive. I barely game, so that factor isn't a deciding factor for me. Other...
