    Safari keeps crashing on M1 Max MBP

    I'm running a 16" M1 Max and I've found Safari to crash at least 3 times a day. I thought it was my Save to Pocket extension so I removed that but the crashes still occur. Anyone else having this issue? The next step is to remove the Adblock Plus Control Panel extension and see if that makes a...

    How to maximize number of external monitors on MBP 16" M1 Max 10 CPU/32 GPU MacBookPro18,2 (A2485 - 2021) and best "dock" options?

    I need to drive at least 9 external monitors (more if possible) on a MacBook Pro 16" 10 CPU/32 GPU model. All of these are 2560x1440 or lower resolutions. I realize that it natively drives 4 external monitors (so with its built-in display that would make 5 total), but what adapter(s) are needed...

    A MacBook Proem

    A man buying an M1 Mac asked “Which Apple to get for my lap? Is the Max not for pros? Are the Pros not the max? Boy, this naming scheme’s wack!” The salesman said back, “Just relax; Apple packed a whole lot in these Macs – headphone jacks are high-load, with mics better than Røde, and they have...

    Dimming on edges of screen (new 14/16 inch)

    Let me just begin with the fact that this isn’t really a defect, but rather a limitation of the way these screens are designed so essentially all of these new macbooks will have it. The same ’issue’ can be seen on 12.9 iPad screens. Im curious: Have you noticed the slight dimming around the...

    M1 Max - Underwhelming FCPX Video Export Performance (Not a fast as Rene Richie's results)

    I bought a 16" M1 Max (32 GPU cores) and my video export/render times aren't quite living up to what I'm seeing in benchmarks/reviews. For instance the following is from Rene Richie's review on YouTube: (note the M1 Max 13-inch is a typo, it's the 16" model). Here he says he's exporting a 4K...

    Many media and users reported much worse battery life on M1 Max model, and according to powermetrics results, it's very possible that RAM power caused this difference (GPU are consuming very similar power on low usage). My question is, is this difference mainly caused by M1 Max's Quad Channel...

    MPB 14 vs MPB 16

    After carefully reading the specs for M1 MAX and differences between the two models (14 & 16), I noticed only one thing which sets the both appart (aside from the obvious body size and less obvious battery life): High Power Mode (HPM). I was curious about how much power it would actually bring...

    So I just upgraded to the 16" M1 Max MBP, and I'm trying to use Citrix Workspace with my iPad as a second monitor, but I'm just getting a black screen on my iPad (with a black cursor, meaning it's "registering" a mac and not the PC in the Citrix window). I turned off the setting in mission...
