Looks brilliant on that screen. Definitely going to try it on my M5 MBP. Only problem I have with Apple is the fact every time I go to the local Apple shop anything I touch that is metal electrocutes me.

MacBook Pro With Touch Screen and New Mac Studio Likely 'Postponed'

Realistically, it's still solid advice though. We have: New redesign New Tandem OLED display First GAAFET processor First LPDDR6 memory architecture That should put it in one of best year-over-year upgrades of all time, much like first Apple Silicon MBP and the first Retina MBPs are remembered today

Which one is best for editing videos and Lightroom edits on the go?

This is inane. This is a fundamentally flawed understanding of how these systems work. For pure photo-editing (Lightroom / Photoshop) on the built-in screen, the 14” MacBook Pro M5 is the stronger, more balanced choice out of the box. The Ryzen 9 / RTX 5070 Ti laptop can be faster in some heavy batc

Analysis of the Apple M5 SoC: Apple silicon extends its lead over AMD, Intel and Qualcomm

I'm sure some folks want more performance even at higher power. But, IMO, that should be resesrved for desktops. Or at least give us an option to throttle just the CPU. As NBC writes and I agree on 1T power (Cinebench is just one example; seeing the power draw of the "everyday" loads would be great)

Is there any software engineers out there that use MacBook Air instead of MacBook Pro?

i was using a 16" 32gb m1 pro and not really planning on replacing for another year. Due to circumstances outside of my control I had to buy a new laptop and I bought an 13" 24gb m4 air . No regrets.Although if I was buying today it would likely be the 14" m5 mbp. I just got the m1 pro back... it fe

666: We Have Nothing That Hot

Even when they specifically have a chapter marker for a topic, they seem strangely unprepared and uninformed, like two episodes ago, they had a chapter about the M5 MBP, but Casey, when reading the disk benchmark (which apparently they wanted to make a point about), wasn’t sure about the unit for th

Need advice from y'all - M4/M3/M5 architecture

I would hold off until M5 is available before making an investment in Mac Studio. For general performance, the base M5 is benchmarking about 15% faster in CPU multi over M4. Reason enough to wait a few months before splashing on a high-end machine. (Consider that the base M5 in MacBook Pro scores ne

MacBook Neo costs more in Portugal due to copyright levy for piracy compensation taxes — storage costs extra in multiple countries, thanks to draconian laws that pre-punish buyers

Yes, I know. EU Prices of a $1999 US product (Apple, MS, HP, Dell, whatever) should be the same in Europe. But Apple taxes EU consumers. Current Apple prices: Base model M5 MBP starts at €1899. €320 VAT and taxes according to Apple website. So €1579 without VAT and taxes. Current € is valued at 1.16

I am *trying* not to absolutely loathe Siri, but where is this promised "Apple Intelligence"???

I’m having buyers regret over the new MacBook M5 I just purchased. I agree with you, where is the Apple Intelligence?. Siri is still dumb as a bag of nails. The guy who redesigned the Safari browser should be hung it’s a waste of space. In addition Apple still likes to take over everything you do. W

Sound Engineering software compatibility with laptops?

There are some compatibility issues at the moment with M5 chips (including base, pro, and max chips) and some pieces of software and hardware, but these are just bugs because these chips are still fairly new. Apple changed the core layout on the new chips, which messes with some low-level software,
