    Rattle when tapping on new 16inch Pro?

    I just got a new 16inch MacBook Pro which runs perfect. But there is an annoying hollow "rattle" like sound when tapping on the trackpad or anywhere on the upper case. Most evident when it's laying flat and open on my table. Like a hollow/cheap sound. Does anyone else have this issue? My 2015...

    Hello, I have decided to purchase a new MBP but in my country, Romania, you can't configure it yourself but you have to choose between different pre-made configurations and it is very difficult for me to decide. The problem is, if it were for me, I would go for a 14 inches MBP 8 core CPU/14...

    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...

    16" M1 Pro vs M1 Max Geekbench scores (violin plot)

    Hey, I parsed Geekbench scores and did a quick violin plot. I was wondering if I made a mistake going with M1 Pro instead of M1 Max. Seems like M1 Max is around 4-5% faster in multi-core and 1-2% faster in single-core workloads. Not a huge deal IMHO :)

    Bluetooth headset microphone not working in Macbook 16" under Bootcamp

    Using Bootcamp on the Macbook Pro 16", my Bluetooth headset is only being recognized as a playback device and not a recording device. I've tried two other headsets, but they are only recognized as headphones with no mic. Frustrating! Please help me!

    Hello, after many days of research I decided to make a topic here and have more opinions from MBP 16 users. Like a week ago I decided I need a larger screen for my macbook and I bought LG 27UL650 4K IPS. I used at the beginning HDMI to USB-C for the connection. I went on the youtube to play a...

    ARM macbook pro 13" vs Intel macbook pro 16"

    I'm in need of a new laptop that will be my main machine for everything (Mostly programming and schoolwork). Quite honestly the 16-inch macbook pro seems like the perfect size, but I can hardly justify it's price as it seems like the 13-inch macbook pro will close the performance gap...

    To make a long story short, I'm contemplating on getting the 16-inch macbook pro or the soon to be released arm-based 13.

    Hello everyone, I've been using my MacBook Air late 2010 since then, and in a few months I'll have the opportunity to start working on shooting with DLSRs and such, and then post editing full-hd (perhaps more), so I'll definitely have to get a way more powerful Mac. I'm really tempted by the 16...

    I need advice on a MacBook Pro purchase. Currently, I'm using a late-2015 MacBook Pro, which is the last model before the move to all USB C ports. It's been a real workhorse, but lately, I’m really feeling it’s 8GB of RAM and 2015 processor, which struggle to keep up with my workflow. So I've...

    Is buying a upgraded MacBook Pro now still make sense since Apple it moving to Apple Silicon?

    Hi you guys, I’m preparing to buy a new MacBook Pro 16, but now that I researched a little more, I’m a little concerned. If I’m getting a MBP16 now, is it worthy to upgrade to a higher CPU?
