    Hi there! I was wondering if there is a way to enable HiDPI on Sonoma via the Terminal, avoiding the use of third-party apps. Is the following command still effective on Sonoma? I am using a Mac mini (M2). $sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist...

    M1 MAX or M2 MAX? Need an advice.

    Hi guys! I don't know what to do. I found a really great bargain on a lightly used Macbook M1 MAX 64 GB 10 CPU 32 GPU - 5 battery cycles, used a couple of times. I use the laptop mainly for editing 4K videos. Today the M2 MAX came out. Let me recalculate for you how the prices look like in...

    Will the M2 MBA work with this 40'' LG UltraWide?

    I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to monitors and the computer specs needed and I see some complaints or horror stories of people trying to get Macs working properly with different resolutions and monitors so I'm nervous about what to buy. The IT guy at work is going to get one of these for us...

    How much RAM on M2 :)

    I'm breaking my head thinking about the big RAM-question. I’m getting a new M2 Mac and I’m thinking about how much RAM I should include. Max simultaneous usage may be 15 safari tabs (including some YouTube video), 4 Word documents, 5 PDFs, maybe some Excel/ or PowerPoint rendering. I’m thinking...

    iMac M1 enough, spend loads on a Mac Studio + Monitor or hold out for iMac M2?

    Within the next two/three months I am going to need to upgrade from my 21.5 inch late 2013 iMac. I work with stock photography and video and use my iMac for editing photography and now some 4k video too (mostly I do selection and organising, editing metadata, resizing submissions of images)...

    About the future of Apple external displays

    I cannot get the new Apple Studio display out of my head. The kinda disappointing specs leave me begging for answers. I'm not here to complain but to talk about what's might be the reasoning behind the specs we see in the Apple Studio Display. It seems like everyone (including me) were...
