    M1 chip and Gaming on MBP

    Hi everyone, First off, yes I understand Macs are not the best for gaming unfortunately - maybe that will change now.

    Expert opinions needed - Is security compromised?

    Just got a 2017 Macbook Pro with 16GB Ram, 560 Radeon and 512 SSD. It was an unbeatable offer, so I couldn’t pass it up.

    Hi everyone, I have a 2016 MacBook 12" (M3/8GB/256SSD) that has been a real warrior for me the past 4 years. Snagged it on an "Open Box Deal" through Best Buy during Black Friday deals so I got it for less than $1000 after taxes. For the past two months, I've been dealing with the "Service...
