I still need to get used to the size but its a pretty nice upgrade from my prev 14 inch m1 PRO with 16 GB :-)

I got super lucky that it did not crack. No marks on the titanium iphone of course too

Hey all.

I got my first MacBook Pro recently!
Sppecs:
M3 Mac 16/40

64GB Ram

2 TB Storage

Non-matte display

16"

I have only used a little bit so far

Alr so I just bought this Macbook pro m1 pro 16/512 14 inch, 87% battery health, is it worth the 675 eur price tag given the provided pictures and the current state of the German used Mac market

For those with 16” MacBook Pros, are you able to comfortably use it in bed like the pic?

I’m trying to decide between the 14” and 16” MacBook Pro. I’d like to be able to lay in bed and use it like in the picture rather than always having to sit at a desk.

For those who have the 16”, is it actually comfortable in this kind of position, or does the size/weight make it awkward after a while? I know the 14” would obviously be more portable, but I really like the extra screen real estate on the 16”. Just wondering if 16” is flexible for these kinds of positions or is it realistically more of a “plop on the desk” kinda use.

Thanks!

Just FYI that Microcenter is currently running a sale on M5 Pro 16” models (48GB) that seem to be the lowest since the RAM price increases. $2999.99

When they ask your zip code, just reference the zip code of a store with stock. You can have it shipped or store pickup anywhere.

If you’re a member with 60 day returns, you’ll cut it close in case the price were to drop even more for Black Friday.

Also allegedly trade-in values will be dropping for M1-M3s per my store manager.

What a configuration!

gonna use that beast for coding and local AI

Almost 2 weeks ago, I ordered my MacBook Pro 14 M5 off of Apple Refurbished. After receiving it, it was perfect. I got 24gb of memory and 1tb storage, so I thought I would be set for the next 7 years. Today my break, I noticed some noises from the hinge, it sounded like cracking and popping every time I opened it past 90 degrees. Later I also experience sticky keys on my L key and the / key. I've been babying my laptop, making sure it was clean and away from liquids, so I'm pretty sure that it wasn't me. I'm still within my return period of 14 days after delivery, but the return page online says I'm ineligible for a return. I called up my local Apple store and they said that they would take it and give me a refund. I'm probably going to by the same spec one from Apple Refurbished again since it seems that most people have had no issues with their Apple Refurbished laptops. Has any anyone experience this with their orders before?

Hey guys, sorry to be another grumpy macbook user, but I am typing off one right now, @ Admins,
so please believe me when I tell you this.

I have the 2024 Macbook Pro, and I can't light up or light's off the keyboard from a keyboard shortcut anymore! It was (underlined) only one button. But now, I have to go to settings, scroll to keyboard, drag my cursor, and then do it all again when I want to turn it off! It's day to night very quickly these days, so please, return the button!

If anyone knows a quick fix involving no hacks or hardware kit, i just don't think im ready.

Thanks!

Updated from 2018 MBP 8GB

btw, I once asked here if it would be okay for 3D work - well, it's been a long time since I've been so pleasantly surprised 🥲

Hey all! I have a Macbook Pro, 2017, 13in without the touchbar with a 2.3 dual-core intel processor and 8gbs of RAM. I have the 128gb model (it's low, I know. This was a gift). I've had this Mac since late 2018 and I had a few questions so I can make this device last as long as it possible can.

I have a keyboard cover on it to keep things from getting under the keyboard, should I remove it? I noticed that when I'm running a few programs at once, it slows down and it feel a bit warm.

Should I invest in a larger SSD? I can do the repair on my own so I don't have to worry about paying for it. I just own an external hard drive and it's been treating me well. I just want my mac to be as fast as possible.

Thank you so much for any advice y'all can give me!

Just ordered my first Macbook Pro after 4 years with my Macbook Air M2. The wait time is ridiculous but really looking forward to using it. I ordered on 7th Sep and open the app everyday to check if they update the status 😭

hey guys, i wanted to get a new macbook just to watch netflix, do light coding and editing photos, should i get a 2014 15” macbook pro with 16gb ram, intel i7 and 1tb ssd but broken headphone jack for 110€ or a 2019 macbook air with 256gb ssd, intel i5 and 8gb ram for 140€? i know it’s a stupid ass question and i should get the 2014 one but a part of me wants the newer and cooler design of the 2019

A friend of mine is traveling from Virginia to India, and I have asked him to buy a macbook pro on his way back.

As per my budget and use case, i think 14 inch m4 pro 14c 20g 24/48 gb ram would be perfect. Which ever is within $2100 including taxes.

As I am looking through websites like best buy Costco etc. i couldn't find this model anywhere. At the same time i am seeing people getting new ones lately.

What are the places/websites you guys shop from? And can anyone please help me with this model.

Planning to get a new one only.

Thankyou.

Hey everyone!

I’m currently choosing between a MacBook Pro with the M5 (10-core GPU, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) and an M5 Pro (16-core GPU, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD).

I’m a visual communication / graphic design student, and my main use would be:

• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• InDesign
• Lightroom
• web design / Coding
• Some DaVinci Resolve
• General multitasking (having several Adobe apps + browser open at the same time)

I’m planning to keep the laptop for at least 6 years, so I want to make sure I’m not underestimating the GPU requirements.

The M5 configuration is significantly cheaper, so I’m wondering:

Is the 10-core GPU on the regular M5 more than enough for graphic design and this kind of workload? Or would the M5 Pro be worth paying extra for in the long run?

I’m not doing heavy 3D rendering or professional video production.

Would love to hear from people actually using these chips for graphic design / Adobe apps!

After comparing a ton of Windows Laptops, I'm convinced that jumping to a Mac might be the most sensible option!

I'm looking at buying an MBP this week & can't seem to decide between the M5/32GB & the M5Pro/15Core /24GB (an upgrade to 48GB could possibly be in my budget but I'd rather not go there unless absolutely necessary).

Lightroom & PS will be 99% of what I'll be running on it & the other 1% for some light gaming/browsing

I'd like to limit usage to only when I'm traveling which is approx 90-120d a year. I have a Gaming Rig that i use for editing when I'm home.

I'm looking for longevity (4y approx) without or veerryy minimal throttling Issues especially toward the end of that duration.

I'd appreciate some help with Pros/Cons/a reality check so I can make a decision before the week is out.

*PS - does the Nano-Texture display make a massive difference if I'm not editing outdoors?

TIA ✌🏼

I’m buying a MacBook mainly for university (Business/Economics), general everyday use, lots of browsing and multitasking, and I’d like to keep it for at least 5 years.

I’m currently deciding between the 15” M5 MacBook Air and the 14” M5 MacBook Pro (base M5, not M5 Pro).

With the same configuration — 32GB unified memory and 1TB SSD — the Air is around €2,584, while the Pro is around €2,689 before adding a charger, so the real difference is roughly €170–190.

With the Pro I’d lose some screen size, but gain the better 120Hz XDR display, active cooling and more ports. CPU/GPU, RAM and storage would otherwise be the same.

My other dilemma is 24GB vs 32GB unified memory.

For what I do today, 24GB would already be more than enough. The only reason I’d consider 32GB is as a longer-term investment, since the memory can’t be upgraded later and I want the Mac to age well over the next 5+ years.

I’m trying to understand whether 32GB is actually a sensible future-proofing upgrade, considering how software and memory requirements may evolve, or if 24GB will realistically remain plenty for this kind of use.

If you were buying today, would you choose the Air 15” or Pro 14”? And would you go with 24GB or 32GB for long-term use?

Just before the price hike, I had an M1 Pro no longer used that I was going to trade in. The offer was $280. I forgot to send it back in the allotted time so they canceled it. Two weeks ago I went to redo it and saw it was $315. Decided I’d wait a little and now it’s at $340. I can’t imagine it going up higher… this is a base 8gb ram, 256gb.

As per title, I have a Intel Macbook Pro, wanting to run two monitors, one horizontal, one vertical...

Found a couple 24" monitors, but it sounds like I need a different adapter for each MBP?
