QUOTE(firdausbhari @ May 7 2024, 04:41 PM) Just to clarify, Mac only supports 40gbps TB4/TB3/USB4 or 10gbps USB3.1 Gen 2 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. Ohh sad initially I thought they stated USB4 on tech spec and thought they got 3.2 2x2 as well (20Gbps) 😅 Like that hmm that time should just buy TB3 NVME enclosure already haha

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?

Hi all, my 16in M2 2022 is having a black screen issue. I can still see the screen lighting up but it's vage. When connecting it to my home TV as a mirror to main screen it is usable.
Worst is I bought an AOC 27G2SE/68 monitor for temporary use and it shows my desktop but not responsive.
Anyone has come across this issue, do I need to replace my screen. Any recommendations?
