Hey wanna ask, let’s say the monitor comes with UBC-C display port, so I just need to connect usb-c cable to my MacBook Pro, that’s all right? Do I need to buy special adapter? Or still best to buy the hdmi adapter?

QUOTE(firdausbhari @ Sep 4 2023, 02:16 AM) normal USB-C cable wont work. U need USB-C 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 cable or the easy way just get USB4 cable. its backward compatible. Even for watching shows? The scaling is too small? But can adjust the scaling one right.most monitor with USB-C port will included the cable. If only HDMI then u need an adapter for it or get a hub. Ugreen sells good & reliable USB-C hub. might wanna check it out. Most USB-C hub comes with HDMI 4K 30hz but be sure to get a hub with HDMI 4K 60Hz. but personally, sweet spot resolution for me is QHD (1440p). UHD (4K) scaling is too small like others mention. tried on my previous 4K monitor before. didnt like it. |

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. 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?

QUOTE(westlife @ Dec 19 2023, 11:20 AM) seriously do not recon skin for macbook pro. when ur macbook is operating, the whole macbook is actually hot becos the entire body is made of aluminium. 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. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 3 2024, 08:26 PM) If Apple silicon and not Intel one certainly will not heat up. is this this one?I use Moshi protection case. https://us.moshi.com/collections/macbook/pr...=42552266915978 I used an UNIQ one but it did lift up the lids a little, and it doesn't scratch the surface of the macbook when you removed the case because of those things trying to clip onto the macbook pro.  |

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?

I am underutilizing my macbook pro a lot. Only using it for surfing, watching shows and more surfing. Hahaha! I have been thinking to resell it but then... i am no audiophile, the speakers are damn good! Are there actually any mobile devices in the market that have such good speakers?
