    If next Macbook Pros use Mini-LEDs, will that pose PWM issues for sensitive groups?

    I've found it difficult to use iPhones — especially the iPhone 12 — that use OLED screens. The PWM rates are quite low and the effect is noticeable. I have no issue at all with the iPhone 11.

    Will the M1x MacBook pros be gaming worthy?

    Currently I am faced with a dilemma, which laptop to buy. I need a laptop that I can run all my code and game on it for fun. I sold my gaming console because realized, I could get a laptop like the G15 or Blade 14 5900hx, and if will probably perform better then my ps4 pro. But Apple is in my...

    MacBook Ice Ice Baby.

    Hey, so this is irrelevant regarding my MacBook as it's way out of date, but it can run High Sierra still using Colins tool and could still be an excellent option for web browsing on the go.

    Dose the M1 Macs still have Kernel_task issue?

    So im really looking forward to getting the 16" M1X MacBook Pro in October / November. I currently have the current 16" which still over heats when doing simple things like viewing twitch and/or 4k YouTube which gets up to 70c no problem.

    macOS Do you have to be on the latest MacOS for Xcode?

    I'm using my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13" to develop apps and games with Xcode. Now, from what I understand, I won't be able to run monterey since my MacBook is too old.

    Choosing MacBook Pro

    I'm gonna buy MacBook Pro but should I wait? MacBook Pro M1 16GB 512GB seems great for me. I'm a high school 12th class student and interested in software development. I believe this MacBook can go 4-year or above life. So, is there an alternative to this MacBook? or should I buy this?
