Can anyone state whether the new MacBook Pro’s can support dual displays over a single T3/4 connection?

Th article didn’t cover the main difference between the Air and the Pro as far as most users will be concerned - namely the connectivity to an external monitor. As far as I am aware, the new Air still has the limitation of limiting connection to a s…

Finally, of course Apple's 5nm M1 is going to outperform Intel's 14nm Core i5. But when Intel's Core i5 is also 14nm in about 3 years (if they hire TSMC to make the chips) or 5 years (if they make the chips themselves)? Then we will see whose pe…

CheeseFreeze said: I thought about this as I was also bothered by the 16gb limit. In theory the benefit of an SoC may lead to memory being so fast that the ‘swapping’ in case of no more free memory may not be so much of a problem as before, and…

"In theory, Apple could increase the clock speed of the M1 for higher computation performance with the same number of cores. In practice, power usage (and waste heat) grows in a nonlinear relationship to clock speed, so it’d be more like an Intel pr…

I think this is notable for 2 things particularly:1) The use of a SOC design which shows that the time for the ISA is (finally and thankfully) over. SOC means better integration, power management, and not insignificantly, better security2) We are fi…

As others have noted, there is an error in the article. There has been no upgrade to the ports available on the iMac 27". Rather than the 4 T3 ports the article states (which is what it iMac Pro has), the standard 27" iMac retains the 2x T3, 3x US…

The article contains a factual error.. The 16” MacBook Pro is a Coffee Lake (9th generation Core i9) processor, not a 10th generation (Ice Lake) processor as asserted in the article.

Of 3 installs, 2 failed with a "insufficient space" error on reboot. After spending time on finding a fix, it appears that the installer is not removing Time Machine snapshots. Annoyingly, the Recovery console terminal doesn't have access to the "t…

WRT discussion on soldering vs slots. IIRC the unit is slotted, correct?
