Anyone upgraded to Sonoma yet? How is the overall performance?
Is AirPods Pro auto switching btw macOS & iOS working now?

Still stick to Ventura haven't make the jump, but I read somewhere in MacRumors forum about Sonoma beta being so stable that didn't happen on MacOS for so long ago.
Wanted to see other Sonoma user comment about it. |

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ Oct 10 2023, 05:54 PM) Wow. After a few months of using MacBook Pro, I really love it!! I love that it always stays cool, no fan noises, boot up really fast and it’s a super powerhouse! And also the speaker is absolutely breathtaking. Not recommended and honestly the Macs have always been behind when it comes to gaming and playing especially those AAA title games. If you are going to use your Mac for the basic items, yes, the Macbook Air is the perfect Mac for that and you can have a lighter laptop. For me, I switch between a gaming desktop for games and a Macbook Pro M2 for work (company provided).Powerhouse thing I can’t really vouch for it because I realise that now I’m ended up with a super beast and meanwhile I’m just using it mostly for surfing and watching shows. Lol! Am thinking to resell it and get something cheaper like air, should have gotten an Air in hindsight. lol! I have been considering gaming laptop honestly but it seems like I can use GeForce now to play these days? Anyone tried it?  |

My MacBook Pro has never heated up before. What do you all use as protection though? I don’t bring my MacBook Pro out except for 1 trip, even then it stays in hotel all the time. I really wanna get a case that doesn’t lift up the screen or cause any scratches on it.i had used case instead before i think it is better for protecting the macbook. |

Question: I connect my macbook pro to my external monitor a lot via USB-C. Only thing is that it will charge my Macbook Pro all the time, which is not favourable to the battery i think. Is there any workaround for this?

Mac has smart charging .. so u can leave it as it is .. I always use it clamshell mode due to space restriction .. in order to do that I have to have it charged. |

Does anyone here got use with it? Or do anyone here got better suggestions? I would personally use a separate NVME enclosure as they can get pretty hot. In my opinion the heat will eventually affect the whole hub. |

In my opinion the heat will eventually affect the whole hub. 16 Inch one weight is too overkill for me Okay currently I ordered one 20Gbps NVME enclosure now with fan cooling, let's see how it does after deliver to my house |

Anyone else's M2 Pro battery draining faster than usual? My MBP used to be able to last 6-8 hours, but it's dying after around 4 hours with the same usage for the past months.
Battery health is still 95% with 92 cycles only... |

QUOTE(sss2sssss @ May 6 2024, 04:27 PM) Yeap 14 inch MBP Just to clarify, Mac only supports 40gbps TB4/TB3/USB4 or 10gbps USB3.1 Gen 216 Inch one weight is too overkill for me Okay currently I ordered one 20Gbps NVME enclosure now with fan cooling, let's see how it does after deliver to my house U wont get 20gbps on Mac as it only works with PC USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2, Therefor, the 20gbps enlcosure speed using Mac it will be limited to 10gbps which is about 900++Mbps read/write but for me its more than enough speed.
