    Worth upgrading from a M1 Max (10 core CPU / 32 core GPU) to a M3 Max Base (14 core CPU / 30 core GPU)?

    I just bought a Macbook Pro M3 Max (Base with 14 CPU cores/30 core GPU cores). I'm upgrading from a M1 Max. I haven't gotten the computer yet but I'm wondering if I jumped the gun with upgrading my Macbook Pro when I really didn't need to... I'm curious what you guys think of my reasons for...

    Midnight MacBook Pro?

    There seems to be a mixed reaction to midnight mostly because of the fingerprints. Preferably the MacBook Pro's double anodized black keyboard well expanded to the rest of the enclosure would look better for the MacBook Pro. It would be nice if the anodized black had less of a sheen & was more...

    M2 Pro/Max Macbook Memory pricing

    Here's a pricing experiment: Since we now know the M2 chip is able to be loaded with up to 24gb of unified, with options of 8gb and 16gb, it stands to reason that the future M2 Pro/Max Macbooks will have up to 48gb and 96gb of unified memory respectively. Assuming M2 Pro MacBooks will have...

    Are you replacing your 2019 MBP 16" with M1 Pro/Max MBP 16"?

    I'm currently using 2019 MacBook Pro 16" too, and wondering how many 2019 MBP 16" users are buying the new M1 Pro/Max MBP 16". (I'd really like to get one, but am a little hesitant because 2019 MBP's used price dropped a lot after Apple released M1 Macs and the replacement cost is so high...)

    Uneven Trackpad depth (16" MBP 2020)

    I might be nitpicking here but the trackpad on my MacBook Pro seems to be slightly raised (about a tenth of a mm) at each of the 4 corners. It's super hard to catch it on camera, but you could definitely feel it if you ran your finger over the corners. Should I be concerned or is this normal...

    94% battery design capacity in a little more than a month of use (Macbook Pro 16")

    As title says, I'm experiencing a really terrible battery problem in my Macbook Pro. I received my device of the 5th of June with 98% design capacity. This capacity fluctuated between ~97% to ~99% in the first week of use. Fast forward a month and 5 days later, my laptop's design capacity has...

    macOS Catalina 10.15.4 Supplemental Update BRICKED my 16 inch MacBook Pro 2019

    Hello to everyone, On November 28, 2019, I purchased a 16 inch MacBook Pro. I only used this machine at Christmas to watch a Netflix movie and never used it again because I have several Apple machines and because, in the meantime, the Covid-19 issue arose and I started using my iMac for remote...

    16" MacBook Pro (i7 6 core) first impressions

    I am probably late to the game, but today I got my 16" MBP and I wanted to post my impressions, especially for those considering it and are used to have a 13" MBP. I am still configuring it, so there are many things I cannot really know yet (like battery life), but I will start with the...

    Next day delivery - seems to be stuck

    Is Apple’s next day delivery really a next day thing? I’m switching from late 2018 MacBook Air to Pro 16” and have placed the order around 3am last Friday. I was really thrilled to see that Apple’s offering me the next day delivery through FedEx as I ordered the entry level pro. But still all I...

    Aren't there many owners of MBP 16" that haven't experienced any issues?

    I read many comments regarding the issues of MBP 16" such as Kernel panic, stuttering desktop animations which really made me think about my potential buy of MBP 16" when it is refreshed. Aren't there many owners of MBP 16" that haven't experienced any issues, completely happy with it? Thanks...

    Macbook Pro Overheating Issue/Good time to buy Macbook Pro 16"?

    I recently purchased the fully loaded newest 16" Macbook Pro (complete with 8tb) and was beyond excited to start using it this past week and ended up having to return it after a long discussion with the apple techs. The laptop bottom was so hot when all i was doing was downloading my dropbox...

    Moving from Retina 15 2014 to Retina 16 inch

    As the title suggests, I currently own a base Retina Macbook pro that I bought new about 5 years ago. I have placed an order for a used/refurbished 16 inch that has the base i9 from the Apple store at a slight discount. Is it crazy to think of getting a custom MBP with 32gb or 64gb of ram...

    PhD Student - MacBook Pro 16" or wait for 14" + eGPU?

    I’m looking at buying a new MacBook, and I can’t decide between getting a 16” MBP now or waiting for the rumoured 14” MBP + eGPU. I’ll outline some background information below: Current setup: 21” iMac (Late 2012), base model (2.7 GHz quad-core [I5-3330S], 8 GB, 1TB Fusion, GT640M 512 MB) 13”...

    I'm pretty disappointed with the MBP 16" battery health situation.

    So many people -myself included- report that their 16" battery health is less than 100% out of the box. Now that'd be okay if it was 99 or even 98. But for most, it's 95% or even less. Now that's all fine and dandy, discharge and charge and let it calibrate, it'll be fine and report correct...

    Dual Ethernet using 2 TB3 to Gigabit adapters ? Any advantage ?

    So at work, I use wired ethernet for everything intranet and internet - even my 12" Retina Macbook is using a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. I just received the MBP 16" from B&H and since it's more a desktop use - I wanted to try this out. Since it has 4 TB3 ports, I thought why not connect 2 of...
