Apple CEO Tim Cook says late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs gave him this unforgettable advice before handing over the reins as CEO: "Never ask what I would do"
I’d argue there was more of a noticeable change when Ive left, than Jobs. Without Jobs, Apple continued as usual with a different style of keynotes. When Ive left, Apple's ENTIRE design language and philosophy changed almost overnight. Their products went from luxury museum pieces that traded off fe

Notebookcheck | Apple MacBook Air 15 M5 Review - Very powerful, fanless and without competition
Ever since I got the 12” fanless MacBook back in 2016, I was completely sold on fanless laptops for my personal laptop at home. You don’t realize how annoying laptop fans can be until you use a laptop without them. Even the quiet ones… I can still hear the high pitched sound… bleh After my MacBook h

steam kills my computer
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

An appreciation
I think you cannot truly appreciate modern Macs until you try apple silicon. If you liked an Intel Mac, the apple silicon variants are significantly faster, quieter, cooler, with insane battery life. The best 16" intel MacBook Pro was basically overshadowed by the cheapest M1 MacBook Air. That is ho

Why does a Windows laptop feel slower than a MacBook.. even when both have the same RAM?
Here a sample of games, watch the videos on YouTube. Fun fact apple can maintain these performances on battery only while windows laptops that aren't plugged in will see a throttling of performance due to the wattage needed to run the cpu and GPU at full power which can't be pulled via the battery a

Apple M5 Pro & M5 Max GPU Analysis - M5 Max GPU on par with the GeForce RTX 5070 and faster than Strix Halo
I was making the point that it is a little unfair to compare a $6k MacBook Pro to a sub $3k device. strix halo $ for $ outperforms it. The Strix Halo at $3k will outperform the same $3k MacBook which will likely put you at a 15c/16g M5 Pro with only 48gb of ram. Even if you consider resale you're be

MacBook Pro - M5 Pro or Max?
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

Sigh...Hate to say this but i am so close to getting Macbook
I agree. For all my personal stuff, I use MacOS. For the office, Windows, since I consider most Windows computers to be disposable assets. I think that’s the main difference — Windows: junk worthy. Apple: valuable junk. I like my Apple computers to last many years — and they do. My office converted

What’s the easiest / cheapest way to play an F1 game?
It’s an Apple M1 chip - can I ask why intel would make a difference? It’s a MacBook Pro but it’s struggled with games before. Tried one called Inside and it got so hot I had to stop

Why do people still prefer Apple laptops over cheaper Windows machines?
lol these days Apple laptops have way better specs than most windows. And the few windows laptops that can compete with a MacBook pro weigh like 30 pounds and need to be plugged in and sound like an airliner taking off.
