What's with Mac people suddenly going "8gb of ram is plenty" since the Neo came out?
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

43 hours battery life: Dell XPS 14 2026 lasts almost 3x longer vs MacBook Air 15 M5 in web browsing test
I thought it existed until Cyberpunk came out. The MacBook Pro doesn’t have VRR; it can only switch between a few preset refresh rates. Official quote from Apple’s website. ProMotion technology for adaptive refresh rates up to 120HzFixed refresh rates: 47.95Hz, 48.00Hz, 50.00Hz, 59.94Hz, 60.00Hz

VLC demonstrates AV2 playback
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

Apple unleashes M5, the next big leap in AI performance for Apple silicon
Base config on the M5 MacBook Pro is still 16GB RAM. With all the stuff running in the background, they should have bumped base RAM up to at least 24GB. My M1 Pro with 16GB needs to use swap to handle stuff. But it will probably be another 10 years before Apple increases base RAM across the lineup.

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
American people will lose their shit over a $2 fee while watching people die because they can't pay their medical bills. Apple has a long history of adding 10 to 15% cost on every product they sell in Europe. At some point, the $1999 Surface would cost €1849 in France (VAT included), while the $1999

Why are we having to quality check new parts now... it's getting worse.
Here's how I was shipped a $750 refurbished MacBook Pro (not from Apple). Power cord/brick in a box and the computer had the thinnest bubble wrap ever all tossed in a box big enough to fit 4 computers.
