apple silicon m1

Thinking about getting an iMac M1 or M3 for my daily office/web usage and was wondering since the monitor is so good: Can I use the M1 or M3 iMac also as a monitor for my Windows PC and what would be required? Quick search didn't show me anything useful, mostly only how to use it with...

The iMac was once the desktop device that put apple back in the game of computing, the first major product design by Jony Ive and since then it has been one of apple's most iconic products. It has been widely used by creative professionals (whole architecture offices have been equipped with...

I got an M1 Pro (16") earlier this year and have been having kernel since I got the machine though it has been more frequent in the last three months. It crashes when the notebook is in sleep mode. I have contacted Apple multiple times, and they haven't been able to find anything - the...

Alright. It did end up coming at WWDC. I was wrong :( I have been trying to avoid leaks and rumors a lot, but I keep accidentally seeing more than ever M2 MacBook Air at WWDC!!! Reason 1: Not out of stock Now one of the first reasons people said were, the M1 MacBook Air is out of stock. I...

I have been dealing with a substantial Word document. Over 400 pages, hundreds of tables about 300 modest sized images. Using up-to-date Office 365. I can do everything within Word that I need. Extensive use of styles has helped a lot. Trouble is, I don't want to hand out a Word .docx file - I...

Picked up one of the new 2021 M1Pro 14" MacBook Pro's about a month ago. Stock 16GB/512GB model. Space grey. Looks lovely. It's been mostly smooth sailing. Much faster than my previous MacBook Pro. Really appreciate the SD card slot and HDMI port return. Screen looks great, speakers sound better...

How quickly circumstances change! Just the other week, I couldn't see why I'd ever need a microphone for my Apple Silicon Mac mini - now I want one. To allow dictation, even the possibility of Siri, and to be able to make extremely simple podcast-like recordings. That is, speech only. However...

I having a weird issue on my MacBook air. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else so I figured I'd start a thread to see if anyone else has. The problem happens waking the computer from sleep. Most of the time it's fine. But sometimes when I wake it from sleep, certain things are...

My 2015 MacBook Pro 15" finds it hard to drive an external 4k display, and the fans go crazy when watching YouTube full screen, even 720p. This is over DisplayPort, and also happened with a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" nTB. I use it in clamshell mode, so it doesn't even have to drive 2 displays...

I’m getting the new 24” M1 iMac (with 4 ports) very soon, and I thought of using the 2.5” SSD from my old MacBook Pro in an external enclosure. But I’m not really up to date with USB and Thunderbolt specifications and I’ve also read that there are some issues with certain controller chipsets of...

Hi Forum, I just ran into a new problem with my M1. After BT seems to work now after all the fixes, I have an issue with a Lenovo ThinkVision X1. The X1 has a built in USB2 hub (attached my network there) and a built in Full HD camera. On top of this, I have a small NVME SSD enclosure I am...

I have read that some external drives work fine with M1 Macs but cannot boot Big Sur from them. Likewise, I have seen some able to boot externally but then FileVault does not work. Can anyone who uses this drive/enclosure confirm that both external boot and FileVault encryption works with the...

Hi All, I bought my new Macbook Air M1 last week I checked the aluminium body (space gray) on store and looked fine, but at home I realized scratch on border over screen body. after contact the seller, he said can't return that because it's cosmetic issue and I didn't find that at store...

Hi Guys! Where could I find from the following report what caused the kernel panic and restart? I called Apple they made me reinstall Big Sur, but that did not do the trick. Could anyone pls help me? It happened during the MBP (M1, 13" 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD; OSX 11.2.1) was sleeping, but it...

Why does my battery keep dropping suddenly? Initially it was normal from 100% to 80%, but from 80% why did it suddenly drop to 55%? I have experienced it twice, first my battery is 100% for a few hours, then it drops straight to 70%. Is this a hardware problem? or is it just a bug problem in...

Hello. I recently purchased an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of Ram, but I'm experiencing some weird issues with HDR. I think the problem is on the mac side, as everything seems to be OK in Windows 10 (I have a gaming PC too). I own a Del PD2700U 4K Designer Display which while being natively 8-bit...

Dear friends, first days with the new Mac Mini (256GB SSD + 16GB Ram) and Big Sur 11.1, one monitor attached to Displayport (Viewsonic 24" IPS fullHD). Today as the machine was copying some 100GB+ of files from a USB WD hard disk to a USB SSD (Samsung T5), about midway, the screen turned off...

There is a lot a talking about the virtualization success from windows 10 (ARM) on M1. But I'm interested in running Kali Linux virtualized on my M1 Mac. I searched through the whole internet and did some experimental testing using Alexander Graf's QEMU Hyperviser Framework, but without...

How much of the performance / power efficiency do you think is attributed to design (and vertical integration) versus being built on a smaller transistor size? If Intel x86 chips were on 5nm today, what do you think the power efficiency/performance gap would be? What if M1 chips were on 10nm...

Former 16" MBP owner here who just got an M1 MBP. For the last year, my daily driver has been an Intel i9 2.3GHz 8-Core MBP w/ 5500M GPU. Sounds like a pretty hefty laptop to most people... until the M1. I've spent the last day doing a fresh install and hand-migrating everything from scratch...
