    iPad Pro Difference in Experience Between the 8 GB and the 16 GB M1 Pro Models?

    Hey all, I am still not quite sure about this, as there have been a few comparison videos so far and things weren't clear from those. is there really no noticeable difference at this point between the experience of having an 8 GB model vs a 16 GB model, except for storage?

    M1 16GB RAM and SWAP Memory Being Used

    I got a refurbished M1 MacBook Air from Apple and went for the 16GB of RAM. I look at the activity monitor and to my surprise 2.40GB SWAP memory is being used. Should I be concerned? I only have 11 safari tabs open. Nothing else really running in the background other than music. Thoughts? Thanks!

    Other Are there any rumors on how much RAM the iPhone 13 will have for the non-pro models?

    Haven't seen any rumors or discussions regarding RAM. Since they did 4GB and 6GB on the base and pro models, perhaps it's time to bump to 6GB for all models?

    New iMac

    Should someone be worried if they have a current iMac with 32GB of ram and the new iMac can only have 16GB of ram? I do a lot of video editing and graphic design. I realize the new M1 chips are a lot different than intel chips so maybe that's why less ram would be okay. Any thoughts on this...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 1 1 cpu fan running full speed

    The system boots fine but right when it starts up the cpu fans rev up all the way to full. When I check fan control it shows that cpu b heatsink is running extremely hot. Also, the top ram riser isn't recognized for some reason. Could this be a logic board issue?

    I need the Mac for office work and light gaming. I mostly play games like terraria, rimworld and factorio. They all work fine on my 8gb Windows machine. The air is not a gaming pc but it can run older games and 2D games decently. Why get 16? It won’t run newer games, apps like office will be...
