First, my order: 14" Space Black MBP M3 Max 16/40 64GB 2TB For reference, I'm coming from a 16" MBP Intel i9 2.3GHz Radeon 5300 32GB 2TB and iMac 27" 5K Intel i9 3.6GHz Vega 48 64GB 2TB. I work from home, multitask pretty heavily, and this is replacing both devices. I have a couple 4K displays...

i know this is asked a lot and i have read many reddit posts and others that havent been conclusive for my situation. recently by 2015 air 8gb ram (bought 2015) is reaching its end. i thought it was to a point of nearly unusable because of the overheating. i was wrong because after 5 days of...

Hi. Coming from a 2013 MacBook Pro that lasted ~10 yrs. Buying first Apple Silicon MacBook Pro since then, so ANYTHING will seem impressive to me at first. I have no meaningful point of reference to tell the nuance apart from current machines. Seeking advice, opinions, real world usage...

Is this because the M3 MAX 48GB has more ram to work with so it might as well use it? Also my M2 Max is the 30 core vs 40 on my M3 Max so maybe it needs/wants more to run smoothly. I noticed right after turning it on it was using 5-6 gb ram so the base M3 must be restraint

Every Mac I get I always do a stress test for like 30 minutes, let it cool down over night and do it again the next day. Then after that I use the Mac as normal. Not only to make sure everything is ok with the chip but also to see what the temps are like etc. In terms of thermal paste there's...

Hi everyone, I'm facing a challenging issue with my MacBook 14" M1 Pro and could really use some insights or similar experiences from the community here. After a motherboard replacement and updating to the latest Sonoma, my MacBook Pro M1Pro is charging unusually slowly. It's taking about...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could advise me on something. I currently have a 2019 Mac Pro that I'm thinking of selling and swapping for a 16-inch MacBook Pro. The Mac Pro specs are the following: - 3.2GHz 16-core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHZ - 32GB (4x8GB) of...

I'm a professional photographer, guidebook writer and video editor looking at finally upgrading my MacBook Pro. Currently torn between the: M3 Max with 14-core CPU/30-core GPU with 96GB of RAM, or 16-core CPU/40-core GPU with 64GB of RAM? The price difference between these two configurations...

Anyone with a maxed out 14" M3 Max have any insight on fan noise? I've seen some reviews that show the fans kick up, but seems they were all testing doing heavy loads, sometimes with high performance mode enabled. Was curious for more low/medium loads/normal power mode, how has the fan noise...

Just out of curiosity, can anyone take a photo of their Space Black MacBook Pro and iPhone 15/Pro in Black side by side for comparison? Thanks!

Hi guys, my charger just blew out today. Am looking for a replacement but am confused as to which magsafe is the on that's really suitable for my Macbook. In this Apple article, it says it's the 85W L style silver connector (which is the one I had but I bought my Macbook second hand so wouldn't...

I've been waiting long to move from intel to apple silicon: I skipped m2 because it was not a substantial improvement over m1 m3: Similar price to m3 pro with 16gb ram m3 pro: no significant improvement over m2 m3 max: only chip with substantial improvement over m2 max I need more ram for...

Hey everyone, I dabble in 3D SketchUp and Photoshop (handling 50mpix files) about 10% of my time, while the majority (90%) is spent on high multitasking activities through external monitors. This includes juggling 20-30 Chrome tabs, working with multiple Excel sheets, Google Drive, Docs, Word...

Who ever has brought a new MBP which colour did you go for and why? I personally went with the classic silver again as any dust and so on will show up more, plus the coating is only on the lid and not the inside.

Is anyone aware of any benchmarks/stats on the specific wattage for the different SSD configurations on silicon MBPs? Would like to know the power usage numbers comparing 1TB -> 2TB -> 4TB -> 8TB Would also be great to know if there are any stats on battery life per configuration.

Hi all, Less than two months ago I purchased a brand new fully loaded 16” MBP with 4TB of storage. I just saw the news of the new M3 and I’m kicking myself. Essentially, my new MBP has been sitting on my desk unused for the time being due to my work schedule. Just wondering, what do you guys...

I just ordered a Macbook Pro M3Pro 16" and I am wondering if I should put a tempered-glass screen protector on. I know that many people recommend not to do it because it may damage the anti-reflective coating of the XDR display. Has anybody had any experience with that? I have had a...
