macbook pro

I'm a professional photographer, guidebook writer and video editor looking at finally upgrading my MacBook Pro. Currently torn between the: M3 Max with 14-core CPU/30-core GPU with 96GB of RAM, or 16-core CPU/40-core GPU with 64GB of RAM? The price difference between these two configurations...

Anyone with a maxed out 14" M3 Max have any insight on fan noise? I've seen some reviews that show the fans kick up, but seems they were all testing doing heavy loads, sometimes with high performance mode enabled. Was curious for more low/medium loads/normal power mode, how has the fan noise...

Just out of curiosity, can anyone take a photo of their Space Black MacBook Pro and iPhone 15/Pro in Black side by side for comparison? Thanks!

Hi guys, my charger just blew out today. Am looking for a replacement but am confused as to which magsafe is the on that's really suitable for my Macbook. In this Apple article, it says it's the 85W L style silver connector (which is the one I had but I bought my Macbook second hand so wouldn't...

I've been waiting long to move from intel to apple silicon: I skipped m2 because it was not a substantial improvement over m1 m3: Similar price to m3 pro with 16gb ram m3 pro: no significant improvement over m2 m3 max: only chip with substantial improvement over m2 max I need more ram for...

Hey everyone, I dabble in 3D SketchUp and Photoshop (handling 50mpix files) about 10% of my time, while the majority (90%) is spent on high multitasking activities through external monitors. This includes juggling 20-30 Chrome tabs, working with multiple Excel sheets, Google Drive, Docs, Word...

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.

Hi all, Less than two months ago I purchased a brand new fully loaded 16” MBP with 4TB of storage. I just saw the news of the new M3 and I’m kicking myself. Essentially, my new MBP has been sitting on my desk unused for the time being due to my work schedule. Just wondering, what do you guys...

I just ordered a Macbook Pro M3Pro 16" and I am wondering if I should put a tempered-glass screen protector on. I know that many people recommend not to do it because it may damage the anti-reflective coating of the XDR display. Has anybody had any experience with that? I have had a...

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 :)

I keep hearing the M2 pro max lost to the 4090 RTX (just a few benchmarks only). I am sure the M3 will be good

I'm considering selling my M1 Max to upgrade to the new M3 Max. What do you guys think is the OPTIMAL Macbook Pro upgrade schedule that maximizes re-sale value of your old mac and decreases out of pocket costs when buying a new Macbook? Do you feel it's most cost-effective to upgrade every...

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...

Hi all. I have a very unusual problem with my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). After I decided to buy and install a new battery for it from BatteryExpert.com.au, my chrome browser crashes ever time I am tying in a text area of chrome (such as the one Im typing in right now) unless I...

I am having a problem with my MacBook having crashed sometimes when I wake it up from sleep. I am running an M2 Max MacBook Pro 14" on Sonoma in clamshell mode, connected to a CalDigit TS4 dock, which feeds my Samsung CJ791 monitor via DisplayPort 1.4. I have tried another monitor using HDMI...

I want to connect my personal laptop, a Macbook Pro 2014 that runs Big Sur to Apple Studio Display. Should I buy USB C to HDMI and connect the HDMI to my macbook? or USB C to Thunderbolt? I asked Apple support chat but they were not helpful, saying this mac version is not supported to be...

MacBook Pro retina 15 inch mid 2012 I was running High Sierra and updated to Catalina. I checked if it was compatible with my mac before doing so and the apple site said it was. I install it, and about 75% through, it says it has to restart due to a problem and then it keeps restarting in a...

Hi there! I am planning to get a MacBook Pro 14 inch m2. My option is to get a M2 Max, 30 Core with 1tb VS 2TB. Just like what my title says, I’m just wondering if having a 1tb storage VS 2TB would affect the read or write or performance in any sort?

My SSD got busted and I got a replacement. Now that I've replaced the SSD, I've been struggling with the OS for my MCB Pro 2015. The standard on installation in recovery is Monterey. Everytime i install and about to finish, it reboots and then says "About 29 minutes remaining" What should I...
