Mac Trade-Ins Surge Amid MacBook Neo Launch

suggesting that customers are upgrading to the ‌MacBook Neo‌ and the M5 ‌MacBook Air‌, rather than the new MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. I'm expecting the Neo will actually cannibalize sales of other Macs, as Apple customers had no other device to choose from until now. Those who

What's with Mac people suddenly going "8gb of ram is plenty" since the Neo came out?

It's just the price and segment. 8GB on a MacBook Pro (which, in 2024, had a starting price of $1,599 despite having only 8GB of RAM) is horrible, and was never OK. 8GB on a MacBook Neo (which, in 2026 has a starting price of just $599) is perfectly fine. 24GB should be the minimum in 2026 (for a pr

My take

I retired my Windows gaming PC for an M4 Max MacBook Pro last year. I have had very, very few issues with games, either natively or in Crossover. This thing's a screamer and I wish Apple would do something to encourage Mac gaming.

Apple CEO Tim Cook says late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs gave him this unforgettable advice before handing over the reins as CEO: "Never ask what I would do"

I’d argue there was more of a noticeable change when Ive left, than Jobs. Without Jobs, Apple continued as usual with a different style of keynotes. When Ive left, Apple's ENTIRE design language and philosophy changed almost overnight. Their products went from luxury museum pieces that traded off fe

Why are Intel Macs still so insanely expensive??

The fact that they still natively support Linux and Windows, as well as eGPU (or internal for the Mac Pro) while being Macs still is what props them up still. Even older MacBook pros still command a decent margin because of their greater memory and storage configs over comparable used Apple Silicon

Apple ‘Ultra’ Products Expansion Is Up Next After MacBook Neo Launch

[…] In fact, there’s a more significant shift underway toward higher-end fare — what I’d describe as “Ultra” products. The company may not use the Ultra branding for all of them (though you do see it on the Apple Watch Ultra, CarPlay Ultra and Ultra chips), but a number of upcoming items will fall i
