F*** MacBook finally got this beauty

Kinda silly to be angry or aggressive over hardware. MacBooks are great machines, best in class honestly from a power and efficiency perspective. So are the Snapdragon based thinkpads. I love my AMD T14s Gen6, but it’s for specific purposes, and is inferior in every other way to my MacBook Pro. Outs

I went back to Sequoia and it felt like I just bought a new Mac

A thousand cuts of poor software quality. Yes, all those shaders seem badly implemented. But ever since going to "faster" Metal over OpenGL, which just made everything slower back then, that's been a trend anyway. But there are also all the memory leaks. I don't mean the obvious big ones like "calcu

Looking for a laptop for music production

CoreAudio >>>>> ASIO drivers. I’ve tried the same software on my various MacBooks and desktop PCs over the years. Every time, the less powerful on paper MacBook has just trounced what I can achieve in Windows in terms of stability and track/plugin count. Pretty much any Apple Silicon MacBook will pr

What is the best refurbished MacBook Pro, around 1500 euros, that will last at least 3-4 years for using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro?

If you can stretch near €1500, I’d honestly look for a refurbished 14” MacBook Pro (M1 Pro, 16GB RAM) from https://ebay.us/Jpwgit (my affiliate link btw, helps me if you use it). It’s kind of the “safe buy” for Adobe apps right now. The screen alone (Liquid Retina XDR) makes a big difference for des

Photoshop has become a unusable piece of software

Why would I make up something so boringly factual? I sit next someone using an iMac Pro, which having lots of memory gets the job done. The resolution of a lot of art work has actually dropped considerably with the near-death of print and retouched psds seldom pass 1 or 2 GB, just as they did 20 yea

M1 still holds up

Recent bought my first MacBook. M1 pro with 32gb ram. Other than the battery being subpar with brightness on 100%, the performance is scarily good

OneDrive on macOS Tahoe Strange Icon Behavior

Using OneDrive Build: 26.078.0426.0002 on MacOS 26.5 on MacBook M1 Pro. The issue is happening in Dark Mode alone. When I change the appearance to Light Mode, the issue is automatically resolved. I believe it has something to do with the dark mode icons that OneDrive is using which is causing this i

New Neo or older Macbook (M series)

I kinda hate the 13" Macbook Pro touchbar models (The 14" and 16" models are great) but it's awfully wild people are recommending the Neo over an objectively superior machine to the Neo; they are too caught into the forced obsolescence trap. Clearly 16GB is superior to a Neo; that's one of the bigge

Is it still worth buying a MacBook Pro M1 in 2026? Any long-term issues?

We have a 2020 M1 MacBook Air and a 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16. The 2020 M1 MacBook Air and Pro have flexgate issues. We haven't run into the problem but there have been many posts on this sub about the problem. I would generally go with an M2 as there was a redesign though those aren't immune to it
