Smoother and more efficient, 26.1 is promising

I never knew my m3 pro MacBook even had fans, before this attrocious release

Pixelmator Pro is now part of Apple

Hopefully Apple will show Preview some love though. I can barely open 15k x 15k tif images on a M3 Pro MBP and cannot zoom in at all, while Steve Jobs was able to do the same at a keynote in 2009

macOS Tahoe adoption rate

I did an upgrade back to Sequoia, yes it was an upgrade. Tahoe was the worst Apple experience ever in my life. I hate it so much, no words to describe. It is so fugly with rounded corners and liquid glass, fancy things i never asked for and never will need. They killed my launchpad and it is simply

Someone else is sitting out macOS 26 and skipping it?

I allowed my work-issued M3 Pro MacBook Pro to update, and I updated my i9 MacBook Pro that I don’t really use, but my daily driver M4 Studio Pro is resolutely staying on Sequoia until my work machine stops looking like shit. I’m a Mac user since the System 6 days.

should i get this deal?

If the main goal is AI/ML, model training, or anything that relies heavily on GPU compute, then spending that much money on a machine without an NVIDIA GPU doesn’t make sense. With that kind of budget, I would go for a laptop with 32 GB RAM and a dedicated 16 GB NVIDIA GPU, then install Linux on it.

M5 Max with inconsistent performance and throttling issues - Apple MacBook Pro 14 Review

I and my employees literally ran multiple 2019 i9 MBPs into failure. Worst MacBook Pro model of all time. After my personal one failed and was repaired by Apple FOR THE SECOND TIME, I gave it to my son for college and told him to abuse it. It unfortunately didn’t fail again and he bought an M3 Pro M

Insight into the MacOS Tahoe design team...

Yep! To the boys and girls at the shiny doughnut in Cupertino: Thanks for trying to push VisionOS 26 for the Mac, a.k.a Tahoe. I just put a new battery in my iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 18.7) and I have my MBP M3 Max (macOS 15.7). I won't be buying anything new from Apple for at least 3 years. Apple need

Any fix for audio quality?

Same problem on a MacBook Pro M3 Pro. Already have a support request for it, but honestly I don't expect much of it.

Anyone know if they’re actually that bad for playing games

Also, the dedicated/integrated graphics is a bit moot with Macs as the SoC GPU cores of silicon are powerful enough to rival most dedicated gaming laptops. I beg to differ, I owned an M3 Pro 16" MBP next to my Zephyrus G14 (RTX 4060, Ryzen 9) and the Zephyrus absolutely blew the MacBook Pro out of t

Sluggish/Laggy UI and general bad optimization on Mac

That mentioned 16" MacBook M3 Pro is a clean install. A reboot or closing my Safari Browser with 1-2 tabs doesn't change anything. Any other ideas, perhaps? Like I said, on the M4 Pro C1 runs noticeably faster, but still not always smooth or without any lag. But I can't believe that a M3 Pro with 12
