    Is this a hardware issue?

    Hi: I bought a replacement MacBook Pro M1 (2020) from the Amazon Premium Renewed Program in November. The first weird thing I noticed is that the computer will often show the wrong date and time on the locked screen, particularly when booting the Mac and prior to logging in for the first time...

    Charging a Macbook from a Mac Studio: does it harm the battery?

    Hi, people. Technical question about batteries. I rarely carry the charger when I need to work for a few hours with my M5 Macbook. When I get home, I usually keep the Macbook lid-closed by my side on the desk, charging from a USB-C cable attached to my Mac Studio while I work. It charges...

    OS X Any Mac Roblox gamers here ?

    Hey everyone, I noticed there aren’t as many Roblox players on this sub as I’d like, so I thought I’d create a thread here. I know many folks enjoy Roblox on their phones, like iPhones and iPads, but I mainly play it on my MacBook Pro. It’s got better performance, a better chip, and no...

    Projection of M5 Max & M5 Ultra performance

    Happy New Year folks. I was having fun over the holidays trying to project the performance of the M5 Max and M5 Ultra based on the various past performance ratios we have seen from Apple. Except for the AI race, Apple seems to be managing performance improvements on a rather consistent geometric...

    Can Wires Computing repair my Macbook M1 screen?

    Hey everyone, has anyone here used Wires Computing [in Burlington] for repairs before? I’ve got an M1 MacBook Pro with a damaged screen, and I’m trying to figure out if they can handle screen replacements for this model. If you’ve had experience with them or if you know whether they work on...

    Is my 2020 MacBook Pro past its usable life?

    Hi, I’ve got a 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro with a 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and 8 GB of 2133 MHz LPDDR3 RAM. About a year ago, I started noticing the machine was running really slow when using Lightroom, InDesign, Photoshop, and especially Premiere Pro. In the past 6 months, I’ve noticed...

    Sequoia cannot be installed on M5 Macbook. Silly me.

    I'm glad you cannot be killed by regret. Bought a brand new M5 Macbook Pro and for the third time I really tried to use Tahoe. Gave up. Erased everything and voilà, you cannot clean install anything but Tahoe. Thanks, Apple. Really silly, but I guess stupidity is on me for not asking first at...

    Keyboard on MBPro a bit worse than MBAir?

    Hi there, Maybe it's just me, but does anyone out there also feel the keyboard from Macbook Air is better than the Macbook Pro's? I own both machines and I write for a living. It's funny how the MBAir's keyboard feels better to type and for long sessions of writing. For me it's a shame, because...

    Maps not showing satellite and other views

    I've been having problems for weeks using Apple Maps on MBP, iPad and iPhone. It started off when I was unable to access satellite images for anywhere I was searching. Then I noticed that although Maps defaults to explore mode of my immediate vicinity, but if for example I want to look up...

    Should I get the MBP M4 Max or a Mac Studio + MacBook Air combo?

    Hello, I currently own a MacBook Pro 16” M2 Max, and it still performs great for my needs. However, I’m considering selling it — partly to avoid value depreciation, and partly to upgrade to a more powerful machine. I use a Studio Display and almost always run my MacBook in clamshell mode...

    Does anyone else's finder window randomly resize itself?

    If this is a bug, it sure is an interesting one. I'm working in finder, finder window goes (what I thought was) blank. Took me a second to realize it just stretched itself out. Finder da loooong way.

    Cosmic Orange MacBook Pro (Updated concept)

    I've updated this to include a 2nd angle of the computer. What do we think? Too much? Or is this the thing that pushes you from air to pro?

    I dislike using other laptops than Apple MacBooks

    I just can’t use anything other than apple MacBooks. As soon as I see it or open other laptops than Apple I just refuse. I just start experiencing how bad rest of the industry is.

    Why would you keep the MacBook always plugged in, whenever possible, for long periods?

    Why would you keep the MacBook always plugged in, whenever possible, for long periods? Some say, you shouldn't, and some others swear by it. What would you do, and why?

    MacBook Pro 16" with Silicon Battery Tech + 2nm: How Much Lighter, thinner and faster could It Get?

    Right now, the 16-inch MacBook Pro uses a ~99.6 Wh pack, which is just under the FAA’s 100 Wh limit for laptops on planes. The battery weighs about 400 g and is roughly 3 mm thick (spread across most of the chassis footprint). If Apple moved to silicon-carbon anodes with 25% higher energy...

    What if the MacBook Pro came in Cosmic Orange? (concept)

    I saw a thread about this and made this concept based on it. How popular do we think this would be?

    MBP 1,1-10,2 I now have a MBP 2012!

    Hey everyone It's been a while since I was last on here, but I thought I'd pop in as I recently had a new addition to my collection of old Apple computers. Though this has to be the newest and quickest Apple I own and boy is it shiny! My partners brother gifting me his old pristine 2012...

    is there any chance for apple to propose DC dimming on the next OLED macbook pros? because otherwise it might be unusable for a good amount of users

    pwm is terrible on these tandem oled, and apple hasn't done anything (such as dc dimming) to make it more manageable if you're not sensitive to it you're lucky, but there's a good chunk of the population that can actually feel it and have eyesore, headaches, difficulty reading and focusing for...

    Sweet spot for the glowing logo comeback

    I feel like I’m in minority here, but I kinda miss the old glowing Apple logo. Anyone here also feels like it might actually make a comeback next year? You know, with all this tendency of reversing course: ports, boxy design… I can totally see it being slightly reimagined, with just the contour...
