    Currently I am using MBP 13" 2019 touch-bar intel-chip and have been using for 3-4 years already. This boy really helped me with my heavy graphic design stuff since my university years until I graduated but now I am planning to switch to more high performance MBP with apple silicon chip. At...

    Cooling System in a M1 Pro, how it works in clamshell mode?

    How works the cooling system (fans) in a MacBook Pro 14" in clamshell mode? When the screen is open the hot air comes out from the bottom of the screen. So, i was wondering how it works and if it affects the cooling when the fans are in use in clamshell mode?

    MBP 16" (2019) base model vs MBP 14" M1 base model

    Hi! I have MBP 16' (2019) i7, Radeon 5300M. And I'm curios, should I change it for MBP 14 M1 base model. I can't find any comparison videos or benchmarks for these 2 laptops. My MBP 16' is good enough, but due to this issue, I decided to switch my MBP to M1 new models. What do you think?)

    FINALLY upgrading, but can’t decide between 14/16” (sorry)

    I currently still have a 2014 (!) rMBP (15.4”) and have help off for years thanks to the crazy keyboard situation, then the tease of Apple custom chips, then M1 which was exciting but honestly stopped due to the same terrible webcam, among other little things. With the new M1 Pros, I’m finally...
