    16 MBP M3 Max + Gaming PC sharing a LG 38inch Gaming Monitor. DisplayPort KVM switch vs HDMI on MBP?

    Hi all. I just pulled the trigger on a new M3 Max 16-inch (STOKED!). I have a 38-inch LG ultrawide monitor (LG 38GL950G-B), which is currently hooked up to my gaming PC via DisplayPort. It's a great monitor that supports up to 175hz, HDR (technically), and is 3840x1600. I'm hoping to easily...

    I have an M1 Max MBP 16 with 64GB of ram - 4 TB SSD. This laptop is almost a year old ( will be in 2 months ). Figured I'd post my usage records just for information and to ask, are the SSD writes normal? This laptop is used all day long. For most of the day this is how my memory utilization...

    MPB 14 vs MPB 16

    After carefully reading the specs for M1 MAX and differences between the two models (14 & 16), I noticed only one thing which sets the both appart (aside from the obvious body size and less obvious battery life): High Power Mode (HPM). I was curious about how much power it would actually bring...

    MBP 16" Battery drain 100%-0% overnight without use

    My Macbook Pro 16" battery has been draining completely overnight for couple of days now. Another issue I've noticed is when waking the laptop from sleep a random key is pressed and I hear "funky" sound continuously. I'll have to restart the system everytime. I dont think it's a keyboard issue...

    Ditch Intel 16" MBP for new M1 MBA or MBP?

    I've owned a 2019 16" MBP for the better part of this year (i9 2.3GHz, 5500M, 16GB, 1TB) and frankly am seriously disappointed with this machine. I don't use this MBP for creative pro work, and it still gets super hot and noisy ♨️. My usage is mainly having 50-70 Chrome tabs open (with Chrome...

    Hi, 2 days ago I received my Pro Display XDR and I connected my MBP 16 to it, coming from a 2017 iMac. Yesterday, I took a quick look at battery health and it said 99% (the MBP is relatively new). This morning, I looked at it again and I see that it dropped to 97%. Is it really possible that...
