    Expected release of MacBook Pro 14" with M2 Pro processor

    I am planning to upgrade from my personal MacBook Pro 2011 to MBP 14" model. As a developer, I am not interested in MBP 13 or MBA. So, 1) When can we expect MacBook Pro 14" with M2 Pro processor? Can we get this year itself? 2) Will it use 5nm as M2 or advanced 3nm process? As I use MBP for...

    Buying help: MBA or MBP for mostly clamshell mode?

    After many, many months of delaying replacing my mid-2015 MPB in light of new product announcements, it is time. At this point in time, the MBP is overkill, as I use it mainly for remote work via Logmein connected to an office Windows system. My only concern with a MBA is whether I would have...

    Should I wait for the MBP 14" M2 Pro or buy the MBP 14" M1 Pro now?

    I am an engineering student and I need a new MacBook Pro. If I buy the M1 Pro now, it will arrive by the first week of august (I live in Spain and there is no stock anywhere because of the supply chain crisis), just in time for the next academic year. (MBP 14", 8 14 16, 16GB, 1 TB) If Apple...

    Would 16" be much more useful as a third monitor than 14"?

    Hi! I'm currently using a 2017 27" iMac for software development, and I'm thinking of buying a new Macbook (m1pro 32gb 1TB). Like many people, I'm having a hard time between 14" and 16". In my situation it's too hard to decision. - 16" is quite heavy, but I'll probably use it 95-98% of...

    Weird problem - Screen MBP 14

    Hi there, I have a strange problem with my MBP 14 screen when it reproduces white backgrounds. Please check the video: The Macbook does not know which correct white has to show and starts to flick between the two options. It does not happen all the time, it is random, but it happens...

    legacyloader-arm64 keeps wanting permission: indeed annoying

    I just set up two MBP’ M1. One of them pops up this box on a regular basis. Boring indeed. I find it strange as both machines are more or less identically set up, different users but same software. Any tips on how to fix this or why it happens? The box: the machine:

    Replacement Rubber Feet for 2007 15” MacBook Pro?

    So while I‘ve been lusting after a new laptop, I recently stumbled upon my old 2007 15” MacBook Pro (3,1), which still works the treat (it’s the model notorious for GPU failure, it had a full logic board replacement back in the day with this issue). Anyways, I want to polish the old girl up and...

    Mac OS X Blinking folder icon, key combinations not working!

    Hello, I recently purchased an old Macbook Pro 2014. Then I had to factory reset the computer because I don't want the data of previous owner. After wiping out the hard disk, I tried to reinstall the os from recovery mode over the internet. But I couldn't do that because it gave the error "the...

    This is the BEST MBP Apple has ever made!

    I have been a hardcore Mac user for ~15 years or so, for work and at home. I started with some of the first (17"!) Intel MBPs... and I've effectively had one of _every_ iteration since then (we have a healthy laptop upgrade budget at work - the "old" ones get used elsewhere in the company and...

    yet another battery question

    I recently installed a new aftermarket battery in my MBP2015 retina. The battery is holding about 2-3 h depending on use, and I am not happy but content with it. What drives me insane is the fact that for the first 15-20 min everything seems fine and the battery indicator drops by 2-4% than in...

    New "M" chip in MBP every year?

    What do people think? Will we get a new "M" chip upgrade in the MBP every year now? With Intel we really only got upgrades every 2 years or so - but since Apple basically makes new silicon every year for iPhones/iPads - will they do the same for MBPs now? I'm asking because I'm currently...

    Mid 2012 MBP Died. Can't reinstall OS. Help. :(

    This is my very last ditch effort to revive my Macbook Pro. I don't want to waste anyone's time on here, so I made sure to exhaust every other option available to me via online tutorial videos, and other forum posts. I have tried everything I can think of. I was working as usual on my MBP last...

    Does gaming damage a MacBook Pro 2021 14"? (M1 Pro processor)

    Hello everyone! I am currently using a MBP 2021 14" base model, which has a M1 Pro processor with 16GB of RAMs. Before this device, I have been using an Early 2015 MBP 13" base model as well, which had Windows 10 installed via the Boot Camp. I used to play CS GO on that device, encountered with...

    How's your hinge?

    So I wrote a post about the new M1 Pro MacBook Pro yesterday and the one thing I mentioned is how I love the hinge. It's great. However, I had some bad experiences with the hinge on my 2016 MacBook Pro (it would creak when I opened it for the first time after a few hours, it would creak when...

    MacBook Pro 2021 - it's not just how it performs, it's how it feels

    So, after my first MBP came with a broken screen, a few days ago, I finally got a new one. 16", base model, 1Tb SSD, Space Gray. And I am amazed how good it is. But it's not just about the amazing performance. Or the insane battery life. What really amazed me is how well rounded this computer...

    Is it okay or dangerous to use a screen guard film on a MBP 2021 14"?

    Hi! I recently got this device. As always, I protect my devices very well. Before this computer, I have been using an Early 2015 MBP 13", and I had a screen protector/guard on its display. It served me very well for more than 5 years, and I had never a ghosting/staingate issue thanks to the...
