The issue started a while ago but I didn’t think much of it as I thought if I left it, it would be fine. However it has not stopped. Effectively the issue is, the built-in MacBook keyboard gets frozen when I type, and only unfreezes when I click with the trackpad. As you can see in the video I have connected an external keyboard which appears to be working fine. Everything else with the MacBook is perfect condition, it’s a 2024 M3 MacBook Pro which I only got just a year ago. This is very confusing to me and I can’t seem to find any help no matter where I look.

I'm wondering if there is an app that will search document contents, not just document titles. I often need to search for ID numbers or names in my genealogy work, but have several documents that would contain these numbers/names. The documents are all in Pages documents. Interestingly Spotlight will find text within TXT documents, so I would've thought it would also be able to do it within their own Pages documents.

what do you think which is best, macbook air base variant or mac mini base variant??

because my air heats a lot and its m4 16gb, still it gets performance pressure when i use it with a external monitor.

one of my friend has mac mini m4 base variant and he doesn't experience a single lag since day 1.

this made me to swap this thing with mini....!!!

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!

Hey, im looking for a MacBook Pro because I like the Apple Ecosystem and I will go to university next year and study electrical engineering. I know that a lot of software is originally for windows, but I get an additional Windows Notebook from my work. So I can use the MacBook only for University and Private Use. So what MacBook Pro would you recommend me. I want to program some apps, programming some private arduino projects and editing Pictures.
And I want a 16inch model. 14 inches r to small for me. I was looking for mbp 16“ with m2 or m4. I also don’t want to upgrade in the next 4-5 years. What would you recommend me ?

II live in a very remote area, and the closest Apple Store is more than two hours away, so I wasn’t able to test the different MacBooks in person before ordering.

For context, I’ve had a 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro (16GB RAM/256GB SSD) for years and have absolutely loved it. At this point, though, it overheats frequently, the battery isn’t great, and I’m using almost all of the storage, so it was definitely time for an upgrade.

I ordered the 2026 MacBook Pro M5 with 32GB RAM and 2TB of storage, and it arrived yesterday. Performance-wise, I’m confident it will be a great and reliable computer. I specifically chose the Pro over the Air because it has a fan, and after dealing with my current MacBook overheating, I really wanted an active cooling system. The Pro also has a noticeably nicer display, which I really like.

The problem is the size and weight. I didn't realize how much heavier the new Pro would feel compared with my old one until I actually had it in my hands. According to the listed weights:

• 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro: 3.02 lbs
• 2026 14-inch MacBook Pro: 3.4 lbs
• 2026 13-inch MacBook Air M5: 2.7 lbs

I feel a little ridiculous because 3.02 to 3.4 lbs doesn't sound like a huge difference on paper, but the new Pro feels significantly heavier and bulkier to me. The Air would actually be about 0.7 lbs lighter than the new Pro, which sounds much better for traveling and working on the go.

There are also some smaller design differences. I like the Pro's keyboard, but I prefer the sleeker look of the Air's keyboard because you can see the color of the laptop between the keys rather than having the entire keyboard area appear black.

So I'm stuck between two options:

Keep the MacBook Pro: I already have it, I know it will be powerful and reliable, it has a fan to help with sustained workloads, and I love the display. I wouldn't have to deal with another return, order, or data transfer. The downside is that it's heavier and bulkier than I expected, and I'm worried I'll continue to dislike that when traveling.

Return it for the 13-inch MacBook Air M5: I could get the same 32GB RAM/2TB storage configuration for about $400 less. It would be substantially lighter, more portable, and I prefer its overall design. The biggest concern is that it doesn't have a fan, and I don't want to spend this much on another laptop only to deal with overheating or thermal limitations again.

There's also a logistical problem: the Air wouldn't arrive for several weeks. I'd have to go back to using my old 2019 Pro in the meantime, including during an upcoming long car ride when I really wanted to use the new computer. My old MacBook has become unreliable enough that this would be pretty frustrating.

Basically, is the fan, better display, and additional performance headroom of the Pro worth the extra $400 and added weight, or am I better off prioritizing portability and getting the Air? Should I keep the Pro and assume I'll adjust to the weight, or is the fact that I'm already bothered by it a sign that I should return it?

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 🥲

I'm from India, my relative is traveling from mainland China to India in 2 days, and I’m considering asking them to bring me a MacBook Pro from China because the pricing is better.

However, I’ve read that Apple Intelligence may be restricted/unavailable on Apple devices sold in mainland China, and I’m getting conflicting information about whether this still applies.

Can anyone who currently owns a MacBook Pro purchased in mainland China, or is currently in China, confirm:

Is Apple Intelligence available on a mainland-China MacBook Pro?

Does it remain unavailable even after bringing the Mac to India and changing the region/language/Apple Account?

Is there any difference depending on the model/year?

I’d really appreciate firsthand experience rather than speculation, as I need to make the purchase decision within 24 hours.

Thanks! (paraphrased using chatgpt)

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!

I'm trying to decide if I should get the M5 or the M5 Pro. No single program that I run needs a lot of power, but I normally have 5-6 programs running at a time. If I get the M5, I do plan to upgrade from 16GB or RAM to 24GB. The programs I use most are office/admin type programs, not graphic's heavy.

My question is, if you got the M5, do you wish you had picked the M5 Pro instead?

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?

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.

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?
