What’s the Best Mac App of 2024?

I bought a MacBook Pro M3 Pro in July (kinda bad timing but I’m fine with an M3 Pro). This was the first year I started playing with unique Mac apps for productivity and enhancing the MacOS experience. It’s been amazing so far… My favorites so far: Notchnook (love it, very useful. Needs to work some

Who says Apple is getting more expensive?

I think price/hardware unit (CPU/ram/SSD) is actually lower, especially if we target premium models. Strictly speaking you have to spend more on absolute base, but then you get more hardware capacity. The same 3k now gives me double storage, 33% more ram, and faster chip (M3 pro Vs M5 pro) than the

Time for a computer upgrade? Any tips to help speed up my computer?

I have a very similar computer to you at home and I haven’t felt the need to upgrade yet for audio production reasons. Running pro tools and some pretty large mixes. Granted my m3 pro max computer at work is faster in sessions but not so much that I need to upgrade now. Maybe next year. Apple laptop

Linux X MacOS

MacBook é vida! Peguei meu primeiro ano passado (um m3 pro) e sendo uma pesso que assim como a maioria aqui trabalha usando muito o computador, não sei como não fiz isso antes. Simplesmente não sinto que to lhe dando com um computador convencional. Bagulho roda tudo bem e suave, sistema liso, redond

Macbook Neo out-performs M1 Air by nearly 50% in single core, and is about equivalent for multi-core.

I had an m1 8gb MBP for work and M1 8GB for personal use. It worked great but the 8gb started to limit my workflow heavily as apple pushed out newer and newer updates. My workflow hadn't changed. End up with a MBP M3 16GB for work and MBP M4 16GB. Had I gotten a M1 with 16gb still be using it today.

Update on Amazon Order : My T14s has arrived

I've got the OLED model. 15 hours max on regular workloads running Office, Edge or Chrome, some WSL and VS Code. About 20 hours for watching local video files. Those are decent numbers given the 58 Wh battery and the high res 2.8k OLED display. OP's IPS LCD panel should be a lot more efficient. Base

Switch from python to swift

FWIW - I'm using an M3 Pro MacBook Pro, 18gb, and I never (yes, I'm knocking ALL the wood right now) have the problems people seem to experience as endemic in this latest stuff. ** shrug ** I also avoid CocoaPods and non-SPM dependencies like the plague when possible. I use exactly zero plug ins or othe

MacBook Pro 5 vs Studio M1 Max (This was a surprise. )

It is. It uses the same entry level M5 as the $1100 MacBook Air. The thing that makes the cheapest "Pro" Pro is the connectivity, great screen, great speakers. From a performance point of view it's not that hot. If you need more performance, don't get the "M5"; get the "M5 Pro" or "M5 Max". Focus on

Ab welcher Generation des Pro oder Max lohnt sich ein Umstieg auf ein M5 Basismodel?

Servus zurück! Gute Frage, und die Antwort ist tatsächlich ziemlich eindeutig pro M5 Base. Dein M1 Pro (10-Core) liegt bei Geekbench 6 ungefähr bei 2.386 Single-Core / ~12.400 Multi-Core. Der M5 Base kommt auf 4.225 SC / ~17.450 MC (Durchschnitt aus fast 6.000 Ergebnissen auf Geekbench). Das sind ru
