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)

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

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

Switching from 2019 MacBook Pro - Need ThinkPad recommendation around $1250 for heavy multitasking

Their dithering test is filmed at 240fps, the mini LED displays in the MBP dither at a much higher rate and the zoomed-in pixel filming they're doing is likely just "averaging" one of the dithering states. We know Mac devices dither both at a hardware (custom TCON) and software level, so the test mu

Lightroom Classic users: is the M5 MacBook Pro (32GB) worth it, or are there better options with great battery life?

My experience is that if you do basic editing, then it's fine, no issues, but when u move up to multiple mask layers with addition and subtraction, then yes, it will show struggles, sure shot, and if u touch the lens blur option, MacBook M5 starts to heat too much, even fans are working more than 60

M1 still holds up

So why were the MBPr's so thin and light (compared to the M1-M5 MBP's)? Why did Apple have to go backwards in these MBP's when they touted better processing, thermals and battery consumption as compared to their Intel counterparts? Math ain't mathing...
