I don't get why when apple released the M1, they basically put the same chip on the higher end MBP. Performance so close with the MBA which makes the MBP look overpriced.

New MBP rumour has it there will be a notch for the webcam on the screen. Probably it would come to the future MBA as well?

QUOTE(sp6068 @ Oct 18 2021, 03:32 PM) New MBP rumour has it there will be a notch for the webcam on the screen. Probably it would come to the future MBA as well? Technology limitation. For now, my guess will be Apple will stack the M1 chip transistors to give more performance. Aside from CPU & GPU power, M1 also have 16-core neural engine, which can do ML and imaging processing faster, I think this Neural Engine maybe will greatly improvised in the new MBP. I don't get why when apple released the M1, they basically put the same chip on the higher end MBP. Performance so close with the MBA which makes the MBP look overpriced. the breakthrough from mobile ARM to use in laptop already blowing my mind. I never ever thought that ARM can be use in a complex computing like a personal computer. |

QUOTE(ygchan @ Oct 18 2021, 08:30 AM) Hi, plan to grab my 1st MacBook/mini. Got some stupid questions on MacOS i thought if put keyboard protector will risk cracking the screen? never put any for that reason...casing wise TPU rubber/silicone case will provide some protection... or the hard casing..1. Do You all install antivirus? (There are two opinions, some said need some said need not) 2. What antivirus you use? 3. What casing you use for MacBook? Any side effect for MacBook? Like overheat, crack screen or etc 4. How long your MacBook battery can survive? What is the cost for battery replacement? Thank you QUOTE(sp6068 @ Oct 18 2021, 03:32 PM) New MBP rumour has it there will be a notch for the webcam on the screen. Probably it would come to the future MBA as well? i dont mind the notch if it comes with one, bored with current design they've been using forever I don't get why when apple released the M1, they basically put the same chip on the higher end MBP.

QUOTE(kevinpss @ Oct 18 2021, 02:43 PM) BTW, now I see a lot so called "anti-virus" software push for VPN as part of security. I'm not sure but I have iCloud+ with that "free VPN" on safari. That is useful for anti-tracking. Now it only works on my iPhone & iPad, I think very soon it will work for MacBook safari too. If ONLY install App from Mac App store consider best option for security right?In general, I don't think there is a needs for anti-virus software, unless you are really not sure what you connect with....also you tempt to log-in, subscribe and download a lot of pxrn website.... |

Actually I’m not sure, but if you open up the lid at least once every 3-4 days to air the keyboard/screen then it should be ok…unless you’re planning to park it aside for weeks then maybe can try a cotton cloth in between…I’ve seen many people with silicone keyboard case and their MacBooks screen didn’t crack also.. ygchan liked this post

Just put it to sleep, don’t bother to shut it down. Heat kills, so if you can manage the heat, doesn’t matter if you plug in all the time. |
