I’m considering an upgrade of my 2020 Intel 13” MacBook Pro to an apple silicon model. Main use is photo editing using the adobe suite of tools with important considerations being speed and battery life especially when away from home on trips. I’ve also started editing short iPhone video and...

Hi, i'm currently looking at replacing my archaic 2013 iMac with a Studio Display and one of the following two MBPs: - Apple MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Max Chip 14-Core CPU, 30-Core GPU, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 14 Inch | £2,939.98 - Apple MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Pro Chip 12-Core CPU, 18-Core GPU, 36GB...

Hello all. I got one of the new M3 Pro MacBook Pros recently and less than a month after purchase, the bottom patch connecting the display to the main body seems to have detached itself. Unfortunately, this is after the two week refund period, but I did already pay for AppleCare in advance. I’ve...

Hello everyone, I'm considering purchasing a MacBook Pro for my needs in front-end web development. I plan to use it for running Windows 11 virtual machines to test website compatibility and, occasionally, to run software that's not available on macOS. Additionally, I'll be using it extensively...

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...

Hey there! I’m a music producer who is using Ableton and I like to finally buy a new machine since my old MBP is very old. Coming from an old MBP from 2009 I know that the M3 will be a massive upgrade for me! But as you can see I‘m not the person who buys a new MBP every 2 years. So I‘m torn...

I am an architecture and landscape photographer,I bought a Sony A7r V, I will mainly use Light Room, I will often use denoise, I wonder how long it takes to export, let's say, 10 photos in PNG format and how many in JPEG? How long does it take to denoise a 61mp photo? is it worth taking more...

Hi all I know this might seem a bit basic but I am a streamer looking to buy a M2 or M3 laptop as I am in need of a quiet powerful laptop. I can't seem to be able to find out if tiktok live studio works through parallels? I have seen some videos online of people being able to start the program...

I ordered a Macbook Pro m2 Pro, 10/16, 32gb Ram, 1tb memory, a day before Apple announced they were having an event 🙃 its just arrived to the store for pick up, wondering if I should pick it up or send it back and upgrade to the M3 Pro 11/14 base model + 36gb RAM as it works out almost the same...

Just picked up my new 14” MacBook Pro M3 and ran some benchmarks comparing it to my 14” MacBook Pro M2 (both base models, specs below). 14” MacBook Pro with Apple M3 Pro 18GB Unified Memory 11-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU 512 GB SSD Storage VS 14” MacBook Pro with Apple M2 Pro 16GB Unified Memory...

When I look at my M1 Max cores (work computer), the 2 efficiency cores are being used all the time while the 8 performance cores are mostly idling. I am running docker containers and compiling rust code in the background and yet still my efficiency cores are doing most of the work. So I guess...

I just made a table of comparison M1 through M3 chip of CPU performance using online data to show the difference. Given the estimation of M3 Pro's performance no wonder Apple don't mention those on Event or send to influencers. Source of data...

Hey everyone. Need some help on deciding on an M3 upgrade. Currently have 2017 15" MBP with i7, 16GB RAM and 1TB Drive. I'm sick and tired of the Butterfly keyboard and long render times and low battery life. I work with Adobe Premiere Pro editing 4K footage. And also Logic Pro for Music...

Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read my first thread. I am currently looking for a new MacBook Pro, and would like some input on my options. I pre-ordered the new 16in M3 PRO MBP with 18GB of RAM, 512GB SSD in black ($2500, top of my budget), but just saw a post on marketplace for...

Who ever has brought a new MBP which colour did you go for and why? I personally went with the classic silver again as any dust and so on will show up more, plus the coating is only on the lid and not the inside.

Is anyone aware of any benchmarks/stats on the specific wattage for the different SSD configurations on silicon MBPs? Would like to know the power usage numbers comparing 1TB -> 2TB -> 4TB -> 8TB Would also be great to know if there are any stats on battery life per configuration.

I want to upgrade from an intel macbook pro and a lot of people pointed it out that MacBook Pro M3 Pro has 150GB/s memory bandwidth vs 400GB/s memory bandwidth on M3 Max. Does it make a lot of differences in performance? I am thinking of keeping this laptop for at least 10 years so I want...

Just ordered my 16/40, 48GB ram M3 Max 16" MBP custom built. Anyone else brought an M3 MBP? Feel free to post your specs, order status and we can try tracking the flights again :)

That's essentially how my chat sales support went down this evening. What a pile of crap. Add this to other frustrations: 8 core, 11 core, 12 core, 14 core, or 16 core CPU? 10 core, 14 core, 18 core, 30 core, or 40 core GPU? 8GB, 16GB, 18GB, 24GB, 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB RAM? And you...

Given the recent rumors on Apple releasing the M3 chip at the same time as M3 Pro and M3 Max, I believe this indicates that Apple is going to upgrade the M-series chips on a yearly basis from now on. Yearly upgrades may give Apple a continuum leading on benchmarks on any given quarter, as Intel...
