comparison

As indicated in the title, my company has given me an absolute/hard capped budget of $4k to purchase a new Macbook Pro. (Public sector and tax exempt.) Absolutely no chance to increase even $1 above $4k. I'm a designer who also regularly works with high resolution photography and videography, so...

I have posted a number of personal reviews in this forum on several devices. Well here is where I do a summary comparison of these and a couple of others I did not post here. I rated these against a scale of 1-10 based on my usage. I am quite sure that others may/will have diffent...

Hi all, Currently debating a MacBook Air purchase early next year. What spurred this along is that I have original gen 1 AirPods that are ruined and only last 20mins. Looking at prices of AirPods they're absurd but I also have aging Mac/Windows Laptops. In Australia Apple usually does a deal...

So, I upgraded 5 days ago from a 5-year old iPhone XR to an iPhone 15 Pro. I am overall a little underwhelmed - here's why. - Design: the 15 Pro is definitely nicer to hold and less slippery. It reminds me of the 5/5S/SE and feels nice in the hand. Alas it is now. in a silicone case (Ryan...

I'm looking at getting a new Mac mini, and after using build-to-order there are two options I'm considering: $1199 M2 Mac mini with 24GB of unified memory and 512GB SSD $1699 M2 Pro Mac mini with 10 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores, with 32GB of unified memory and 512GB SSD I want this mini to last...

Hi Everyone! I am planning to buy 14” M2 MacBook- actually I’m pretty decided - 30cMax/32/2TB, but… Want to check for “most attractive” SSD option with good incremental raise in speed i.e Write (I know for each capacity there’s value range)? It’s been 4ish weeks since launch but can’t seem to...

Hey all, looking at getting my Dad a new phone for his upcoming birthday. He isn't so fussed on the tech specs but is coming from an 8 Plus so the bigger screen is the main thing for him. My dilemma is, do I get the iPhone 14 Plus for him at £949 or a refurb 12 Pro Max at £779. His main uses...

To help myself decide if I'll keep my new Ultra or the trusty Fenix, documented differences sensors, hardware and training metrics. I think I now may have an answer :)

Hello everyone, I currently have the below: MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max 1TB 32GB I've ordered the below: MacBook Air 2022 Apple M2 chip with 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine 1TB 24GB I wanted to know whether anyone has any views on their performance relative to one another. I...

Out of genuine curiosity I looked at a Dell ultrabook to see how new PC offerings compare to the MacBook Air M2. https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-laptops-and-notebooks/latitude-9330-laptop-or-2-in-1/spd/latitude-13-9330-laptop/ The current-generation Dell Latitude 9330 seems like a...

Attached is an image comparing the screen size of the Late 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro A1297 to the 2021 16-inch MBP. My 17” mostly works fine with an aftermarket SSD and OpenCore macOS Catalina but I can’t use FCPX on it because I had to disable the discreet Nvidia GPU. To anyone who has waited...

I'm looking at getting a phone in June and I want the SE, but hate the Old Design. The A53 has a more modern design but a weaker processor. What should I choose to be my upgrade phone? The A53 (Starting Storage 128GB) is $450, and the iPhone SE 3 (128GB) is $479 (Thanks, Apple Tax!) so the A53...

Can anyone who has the Sr 80e's from Grado and can compare to APP and APM. Looking to buy one of these and I am looking for a good comparison.

If you have access to 2 m1mbp's which are otherwise quite identical, but the other has 16GB of ram and the other one 32GB, Could you attach 4-5k monitor (or even two of those) to them and run Blender eevee Fox scene with those two machines and tell the resulting fps?

Just looking at the m1 pro chips available on apples site and i'm wondering which of the intermediate m1 chips people feel is the best value for money. Apple didn't say a lot about these chips, they really just emphasised the fact there was a pro then a max, but there are scales of pro before...

This is purely for my own indulgence. I'm replacing the i7 3.1ghz Early-2015 13" MBP that has been amazing for all these years with a 14" M1 Pro 10/16/16 machine. It's mainly for software development and Lightroom usage. In researching there are a ton of M1 (Air and Mini) versus Intel Mac Pro...

Here's a proper comparison of the newer "smaller" notch on the iPhone 13's compared to the original. After watching reviews and finally seeing this comparison picture, I can't believe I'm saying this but the smaller notch looks worse than the original. I mean both are bad either way but there's...

As an XS Max owner I think I'm in the market for a new phone this year. My phone prior to the XSM was the 6S+. That is now used by the wife and it's still working fine, but she really wants a better camera and bigger storage. Last year I was all set to upgrade to the 12 pro max until I saw it...

So a small back story: Less than 3 week ago I upgraded from a MacBook Pro Mid-2012 non-retina to a MacBook Pro M1 and it’s been amazing - I am happy with the jump into moderner times. The week leading up to this change over I really at first and have always wanted a MacBook 2017 12” due to...

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...
