    Why Apple lost my sale on new MacBook Pros tonight

    That's essentially how my chat sales support went down this evening. What a pile of crap. Add this to other frustrations: 8 core, 11 core, 12 core, 14 core, or 16 core CPU? 10 core, 14 core, 18 core, 30 core, or 40 core GPU? 8GB, 16GB, 18GB, 24GB, 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB RAM? And you...

    Does SSD Storage affects MacBook performance?

    Hi there! I am planning to get a MacBook Pro 14 inch m2. My option is to get a M2 Max, 30 Core with 1tb VS 2TB. Just like what my title says, I’m just wondering if having a 1tb storage VS 2TB would affect the read or write or performance in any sort?

    M1 PRO MBP or M2 MBA?

    So I was looking for MacBooks when I found a good deal on M1P MBP, only 1,299, close to the price of the M2 MBA. I was looking to pick up one for Study, So would you choose M1P MBP over the M2 MBA? I'm pretty sure the MBP is Apple Certified Pre-Owned.
