    M3 Max Rattling sound when full load (no fans)

    Hey guys ! I have a recent M3 Max MacBook Pro, and I recently stated to use it full blow.

    Used M1 Max vs New M3 Pro?

    Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read my first thread. I am currently looking for a new MacBook Pro, and would like some input on my options.

    Does this workflow require a Pro vs M2 Air?

    Considering my workflow, would the M2 MacBook Air 15" suffice, or should I go ahead and just go with a M2/M3 MacBook Pro 16"? Right now, I'm on a MacBook Pro 15" Late 2016. I use it for basic work tasks that a 15" Air can handle, but I also use it for my photography and, more recently, light...

    Best config for M3 Max?

    Hi Everyone, I was just wondering what the best configuration is for the M3 Max? I can see the base M3 Max has a liver speed memory bus but I was wondering if I should order the base 48GB Ram or if this needs increasing to support all the GPU’s and Core CPU’s? I hope someone can help?

    Touch ID won't wake Mac after Ventura 13.3 update

    I am using a 2023 16-inch M2 Max MacBook Pro. I keep my Mac plugged in with the lid open on my desk. When it's asleep, I used to be able to simply rest my finger on the Touch ID sensor and without even pressing down on the key, it would wake up and unlock my Mac. Since upgrading to Ventura...

    16" MBP M2 Max Has Coil-Whine

    I'm curious about how common coil-whine is in laptops and what causes it. My Macbook Pro M2 Max produces a significant coil-whine noise, especially when the GPU is in use. I've noticed that deleting/stopping the use of AlDente has decreased the level of noise, but it is still present. It appears...
