    Heterogeneous computing variants

    In general, there is a lot of activity in the heterogeneous computing area lately. Even AMD seems to adopt this paradigm, with a combination of Zen4 and Zen4c cores. I find it a fascinating topic, in general. I have noticed that some mobile SoCs, such as Samsung Exynos 2100, Qualcomm Snapdragon...

    Restore faulty 2011 iMac from Silicon Mac

    I have got a cheap, used old 2011 iMac, which I intended to use as a Monitor. However it came with a version of windows 10, rather than macos. It is in a constant bootloop and currently unusable. I managed to get into the boot menu, with cmd+R however the drive seems to be faulty, since I can...

    Bugs and Problems on the 2021 MBP 14" M1 Pro processor?!

    Hello everyone. I am using a 2021 base-model MBP 14" M1 Pro processored for the last 7 months. MacOS Monterey 12.4 (21F79). Actually I am satisfied overall, however there are some major issues that have been annoying me so much. Check these two things out: 1) When I connect my iPad via the...

    Why aren’t there more iOS apps on Mac M1’s?

    How come M1 Mac’s don’t have more iPhone apps? I thought it was one of the selling points for the M1, universal apps. Would be great if more apps worked.

    Questions regarding the correct usage of new 2021 MBP 14"

    Hello everyone! Recently I have a 2021 MBP 14" base model. Maybe some of you know how I ended up having this computer after some issues with an Apple Store, but it was a long story (check my profile to see if interested ☺️). Before that, I have been using a Early 2015 13" MBP base-model. It...

    Thank you Johny Srouji

    Like every great sports team in history, Apple has its share of names that aren't simply HOF-worthy, but cemented in history. I think it's time we recognize the true Gretzky/Jordan/Pele of these past 8-10 years. Think of the top names at Apple over the last decade, and for each one ask "what...

    Is Silicon M1 a Game Change?

    In the market for half year (if I'm not mistaken), the new Apple products is in our daily lives, we have many reviews, comparisons, some responses from the competitors... so what? What's your view about the days ahead with Apple MacBooks, minis, pros, etc.? I became curious about because of...

    ....to do some video and picture editing, office work, presentations, browsing and for watching videos ? or is it more like that I can run every program as good as with 16GB of RAM but can't open as many programs as on the 16GB RAM version? thank you.

    Is M1 app opening really that snappy though?

    I think the depiction of snappiness showed on video on today's event was misleading. I've been using M1 Mac Mini 16GB 256GB since it came out but when I open my apps, it nearly not as snappy as shown on apple's video. In my computer at least it takes half a second to open apps like messages etc...

    Windows arm for M1 release?

    Does anyone have a clue when we could expect a more offical arm version of Windows for the M1? It's in technical preview / insider. I wonder how long it stays in that

    Safari vs Chrome CPU Usage on Youtube

    After 11.2 Big Sur update, I decided to make a little comparison between Safari and Chrome's CPU usage on YouTube. My Chrome version is M1 optimized 88.0.4324.96. My device is 8 256 MP Pro. I opened same 8k 60fps video on both browsers. I did same comparison plugged and unplugged, seemed nothing...

    Hello, I have a charging problem. When I charge my MBA over night, disconnect it in the morning, use it until cca 60 % and then connect the charger it won't start. I have to reconnect it, sometimes even twice. If I don't disconnect it in the morning, it correctly uses adapter as power...

    SMC errors flooding console - an unacknowledged issue with every M1 Mac?

    I bumped an old thread related to this issue earlier today, but figured it prudent to make another to bring more attention to this problem while everyone is still within their holiday return periods. As you may or may not be aware, there's currently an issue that appears to affect all M1 Macs...

    G-Speed Shuttle TB3 RAID Compatibility?

    I am currently on tech support with G-Technology and they believe that the G-Speed Shuttle TB3 is compatible with Apple Silicon M1 / Big Sur; however, I cannot get my drives to mount on the new M1 MacBook Pro. Has anyone had any luck mounting G-Technology RAID drives on their M1 Silicon machines?

    Big Sur's new UI shouts touch screen......

    Its just a speculation. Its not something I am hoping for. I love using my trackpad. The new UI really looks like calling for touchscreen Macs. I wouldn't be surprised to see coming this fall. Whether they will be Intel based or Apple silicon. Who knows? Though the later seems more probable...
