MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro

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

You should absolutely jump ship at this point. You can get an M1 Pro MacBook Pro for almost the same cost as a Neo now if you need more performance. Why hold onto your Intel Mac? The fans and throttling and performance have to be pretty annoying to deal with.

I use both a windows gaming laptop and a MacBook Pro for work. Let’s just say that even though the MacBook Pro M1 Pro is underpowered compared to the windows, I prefer to do 90% of my work on it. I deal with lots of 3D and graphic intensive work hence the need for windows. With a Mac you won’t have

My 2015 MacBook Pro 15 actually weighs more than my M1 Pro 16. I bought a Lenovo Yoga 14 recently and that's what I use for traveling these days as I like the lower size and weight. So you might enjoy a 14 more for those reasons. If you are concerned about it, then you could request a MacBook Air 15

I own a MacBook Air M1 16/512 since 2021. In that time it was my main machine for a few years. I used it to do some light 4K video editing with DaVinci Resolve, and it ran quite well. I had to drop the playback to half resolution for smooth playback, and I used an external hand-held fan to keep it c

Wish there was so much more of this in all ages. All that said, my laptop is running like a dang furnace now. It’s a bit long in the

I have MacBook Pro on M1 Pro chip. And while game ran smoothly the laptop heated like crazy (70-90 C) and I’m writing this to point out that Pro has active cooling system and Air unfortunately has passive. But I’ve read in another post that user used cooling pad for their Air and it worked pretty al

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

Sounds like someone has never used a MacBook as a dedicated wintel computer. 2013 15" Retina. 2012 13" Unibody. Also have an M1 pro 14" as a machine for when I need to do something on MacOS. Spent several years selling and servicing intel based Macs up until early 2020 as well. While the 2013 Retina
