Only one Mac isn't an AS machine on Sonoma - that is a 27" 2016 iMac on Monterey. Rest are new-ish MBPs and a mini - or so old they are not in the equation at all! Have only just started to need to consider screen sharing. And specifically screen sharing of the Monterey machine to any running...

Sup, y'all! Did Apple change type of magnets or rubber gasket? I remember that lid of MBA with Retina from 2018-2022 [manufacture date; not M2] closed kinda without any sound unlike MBP Am I tripping? Just my curiosity. Thank you!

Greetings to all. We have a 2015 MBP A1502. When turned on with the button, the cooler spins at low speed for about 2 seconds, and then spins up to full speed. The image is not displayed either on the display (it is not known whether the display is working) or on an external monitor via HDMI...

Hey peeps... so I had this problem with my old 15" 2015 MBP, where the body would give a weird sticky feeling if I had my feet down and it was plugged in. I changed to the 3pin extension cable and it seemed to help. Either way, I found out this was a normal thing - they earth through their...

I side by side tested a 16" M3 Max with the 14/30 36gb Ram (Silver) and 16" M3 Max with 16/40 48gb Ram (Space Black). This was specifically for gaming. I have to say there wasn't much of a difference in my testing with the benchmarks and games I had at my disposal. The 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme...

Any idea if the top of the line Macbook Pro 16" unbinned M3 Max (16 core) would depreciate any faster than the binned 14 core version? Or would it be relatively the same depreciation? Just wondering as this affects my purchase decision. Ideally, I'd like to get something that depreciates...

Long time listener, first time caller. I haven't seen a post like this so I thought I'd add a new thread. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue: I had not been using Time Machine on this specific laptop prior to this issue, but I have used Time Machine on other Macs before...

Hey folks, I am a big fan of setting the TrackPad click volume to a minimum. Some older devices offered the "silent clicking" setting which unfortunately disappeared for the newer models. Currently, I am testing a M3 Max MacBook Pro 16.2" and find the minimal clicking volume of the Trackpad...

Hi. Coming from a 2013 MacBook Pro that lasted ~10 yrs. Buying first Apple Silicon MacBook Pro since then, so ANYTHING will seem impressive to me at first. I have no meaningful point of reference to tell the nuance apart from current machines. Seeking advice, opinions, real world usage...

Is this because the M3 MAX 48GB has more ram to work with so it might as well use it? Also my M2 Max is the 30 core vs 40 on my M3 Max so maybe it needs/wants more to run smoothly. I noticed right after turning it on it was using 5-6 gb ram so the base M3 must be restraint

Every Mac I get I always do a stress test for like 30 minutes, let it cool down over night and do it again the next day. Then after that I use the Mac as normal. Not only to make sure everything is ok with the chip but also to see what the temps are like etc. In terms of thermal paste there's...
