    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...

    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...

    On one of the user accounts on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), it keeps saying there are updates, but all the updates aren't available for this version of MacOS (11.7.10). If I download the older version, the update doesn't go away. Ever. I don't understand why it'd be offering...

    Did any of you choose an 8TB internal SSD?

    I’m nearing retirement and face a daunting prospect: downsizing a HomeLab. (First World problem for sure.) I’m hoping to retire to a warm tropical island and I think my next Mac has to be a MacBook Pro as that’s my best hope for repairability in a place with potentially limited computer...

    Monitor for new Mac Studio

    Having ordered a Mac Studio, I knew I’d need a new monitor. My existing ones are old 1080p screens which, attached to my MBP don’t look all that great. With the MBP I can use its own screen for work, and the external screens to dump things on that I only need to glance at, but the Studio...

    Will the M5 MacBook Pro Feature Apple’s C1 5G Modem?

    The most important feature by far in today’s iPhone 16E is Apple’s first party 5G modem. This paves the way for the M5 MacBook Pro to possibly include a built-in cellular option for the first time — a long overdue feature. Will this change your purchase plans for the M4 MacBook Pro?

    What’s the Consensus on Protective Shells?

    Protective shells don't seem popular in this forum given the dearth of messages. The argument in favor is obvious. But do these shells damage a MacBook Pro over time because of the extra weight on the hinge or the pressure on the display from the plastic fasteners? Are soft shells safer than...

    From reading around, lower power mode on MacBooks: Reduces CPU performance Lowers screen brightness Turns off Promotion (disables 120Hz refresh rate) Lowers fan noise (by reducing heat output) Apple doesn't seem to actually specify any of this.
