    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...

    Does the free Davinci Resolve use Apple M1 video h/a codecs?

    Davinci Resolve was updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. Does anyone know if the free version use the Apple M1 video encoders/decoders on the Pro/Mac SOCs? I am finding mixed messages online, and BlackMagic's own official PDF of comparisons between the free and paid-for Studio doesn't...

    Base 14" Pro w/ monitor or base 16" for programming (Xcode)?

    I'm currently debating whether to get the base 14" or 16" MacBook Pro 2021. I was set on the 16" but am now thinking it would maybe be best to get a base 14" w/ a monitor, my question is, will 8 cores & 16GB in the base model be enough for programming on Xcode. Ideally I will want this laptop to...

    Config: Base MBP 14-inch (512 SSD, 16gb RAM, M1 Pro) Like many of you, I was anxiously awaiting the new 14-inch MBP with Apple silicon.

    Hey everyone, I'm experiencing not too great battery life on my MBP 14 M1 Pro. I probably get around 5hours out of it with medium use (some TFT gaming, Figma, Discord, Whatsapp, maybe some Photoshop and A LOT of Chrome tabs). Is that normal? When should I go and check in with Apple? The...

    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...

    Will the 14" MacBook Pro thermal throttle?

    Hey, We are all familiar with the fact that the 14" MacBook Pro with the 32-Core M1 Max would suffer from some thermal throttling but I've seen some concerning news that the M1 Pro chip on the 14" may also thermal throttle. In this video the CPU and GPU individually were maxed out, even with...

    FINALLY upgrading, but can’t decide between 14/16” (sorry)

    I currently still have a 2014 (!) rMBP (15.4”) and have help off for years thanks to the crazy keyboard situation, then the tease of Apple custom chips, then M1 which was exciting but honestly stopped due to the same terrible webcam, among other little things. With the new M1 Pros, I’m finally...

    M1 Pro 32G vs M1 Max 32G vs M1 Max 64G Battery Life

    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...

    If I am not wrong both 14 and 16 inch displays have 10.000 mini LEDs. At this point; because of 16 inch has larger area, there are less number of leds per unit of area. For example 14 inch display has more mini LEDS in x cm square compared to 16 inch display. At this point is it possible to...
