m2 pro

My gf who uses her MacBook Pro (currently Mid-2014 ...) for intensive music production (Ableton Live, Reaper, Cubax, Max/MSP, etc.) badly needs an upgrade. I was reading that the M3 Pro, due to its relative lack of performacne cores, is (currently) not the best for using Ableton or Logic...

I just upgraded from a iMac to Mac mini M2Pro using dual Benq PD2725U displays. Worked fine all last week but this week but his week 2-3 times a day the cursor get stuck on one of the displays. All programs are open and running fine. I can alt-tab between programs on both displays, but the...

I currently have a 13" M1 MacBook Pro 8GB 256GB. My parents are still using a 2015 MacBook Air that I passed down to them almost 6 years ago. It's become very slow and I've been itching for a new Mac, so I'm planning on upgrading my Mac and giving them my M1 machine. I really only use my Mac...

Hi! I know there are no guarantees, but based on the normal progression of these chips, do you feel the regular M3 chip will be faster than than the M2 Pro? My two options are getting a Mac Mini with the M2 Pro or waiting for an iMac with an M3 if/when it comes out (I'd prefer an iMac with the...

Currently I am using MBP 13" 2019 touch-bar intel-chip and have been using for 3-4 years already. This boy really helped me with my heavy graphic design stuff since my university years until I graduated but now I am planning to switch to more high performance MBP with apple silicon chip. At...

hey guys, Trying to get some additional information on this. I am upgrading from an M1 MacBook Air to a 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro and am alarmed at the battery drain, specifically during Google Meets with Safari. My battery drains over 20% in less than 1 hour. This seems to be more than double...

Hey everyone, I am torn between: 1) M1 Pro 10-core / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD 2) M2 Pro 10-core / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD ($200 cheaper) I thought about upgrading to 32GB RAM on M2 Pro, but I think 16GB is enough for my Web/IOS development workflow (for now). I also don't absolutely require 1TB SSD...

I'm planning to buy MBP 14'' for music production mainly. The difficulty is that I live in the places where you don't have any official apple stores and you can buy apple products via resellers only, so basically despite the name of this thread I can't configurate any model by my personal...

Hello macrumors community, I would need your input. About two years ago I bought a MacBook Air for university with a M1 Chip, 16Gb RAM and a 512Gb SSD. Now unfortunately I had a display damage which was not caused by me. So fortunately the insurance covers the damage and I am compensated for...

Forgive my lack of knowledge. I’m currently in the market for a new laptop for video and graphic editing, encoding, rendering…etc. I was wondering if there is a big difference between the M2 Pro 10 core vs M2 Pro 12 core? I can’t seem to find any benchmarks pitting these two against each other...

Hi. I've run a few tests on my new MBP 14'' with the low-end M2-Pro (10 core). I'm particularly impressed with the efficiency cores! In a compile test using clang to compile an Open Source project, I found that doing a parallel build with the 4 efficiency cores takes ~ 6 times longer than the...

I don’t know the actual differences between these both. Please compare and explain with some basic key aspects like, Battery Life Performance, etc. I’m New to MacBooks and I’m an aspiring Data Scientist, Recent Graduate, Graphic Designer/Rare Video Editor and an Average Gamer. Thanks in...
