MacBook Pro

It's just the price and segment. 8GB on a MacBook Pro (which, in 2024, had a starting price of $1,599 despite having only 8GB of RAM) is horrible, and was never OK. 8GB on a MacBook Neo (which, in 2026 has a starting price of just $599) is perfectly fine. 24GB should be the minimum in 2026 (for a pr

Kinda funny seeing this running on what looks like a MacBook Pro, honestly. The thing is, this is AV2 we're talking about, the successor to AV1. Apple's already been pretty lukewarm about AV1 itself (they added hardware decode support starting with M3, continued through M4, and now M5, but still zer

Pretty sure that the MacBook Pro with an i9 in it was the definition of “don’t game on me or I’ll melt”. They are known to thermal throttle even under light loads, since Apple decided to saddle that power hungry monster of a cpu with a tiny-ass cooling solution that could barely keep an celeron unde

It can happen, all the same as a car deciding to die in traffic for example. We all can't see the future unfortunately, and we all cant have the cutting edge new stuff. When I was in college for my associates (in-person), my MacBook Pro 2015 randomly decided to shutdown during class. Prior to that i

Why? Similar spec MacBook Pro is $2,099 on Apple’s website. No touchscreen, no pen support, no OLED plus not convertible. And MacBook is 0.5lb heavier. Yup - M5 is faster than X2E, but not by that much. Look - I agree HP has set a list price that’s more than I would be willing to pay. But this list

The MAX is a waste in any "MacBook" at this point in over 5 years of working with Apple Silicon setups in my own personal experience. This is my opinion and others are welcome to disagree, but it's my opinion at this point. It really only makes sense performance/price ratio, when a Mac Studio. Even

The first Apple silicon M1 MacBook Pro 2020 was a big jump but arguably nowhere near a great of a machine as the second release with the M1 Pro’s with the redesign in 2021. But more importantly I think they’re referring to the redesign with the butterfly keyboards with intel CPU’s as that was a terr

It is. It uses the same entry level M5 as the $1100 MacBook Air. The thing that makes the cheapest "Pro" Pro is the connectivity, great screen, great speakers. From a performance point of view it's not that hot. If you need more performance, don't get the "M5"; get the "M5 Pro" or "M5 Max". Focus on

I HATE it. It's embarrassing for Apple to have that happen. I have an 14 in M4 Pro MacBook Pro and it STILL happens

Look, while there is a solution for Autodesk inventor on Mac, it’s really inconvenient. Please buy a windows laptop you will miss it if you go Mac 🙏. But if you absolutely have to go Apple for whatever reason I would personally just get the air as the M4 is more than enough. Any M series chip even a
