As per MacRumors/Bloomberg - "Apple will introduce new OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models and an ‌OLED‌ iPad mini "on or around" Tuesday, October 27, reports Bloomberg. The launch will also include an M6 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ and an M6 iMac."

Personally, I'm still using my MacBook M1 Pro and won't upgrade until there's a redesign. The Ultra will likely be too expensive and overkill for my needs, so fingers crossed the M6 gets a new design.

Are you or anyone you know using the Apple leasing program right now or looking to use it? I am curious about whether people around you are utilizing it. Love to hear if anyone is taking advantage of this!

Is $1400 for MacBook m4 pro 24 gb 1tb a good deal? Marketplace with 99 percent battery health 89 cycles.

Upgrading my ten year old Air and I’m uncertain as to which machine is more fitting for me. Longevity is important to me- I won’t always be using it for hardcore things, but I’d like to be able to use it comfortably for graphic design, illustration, writing, UX/UI, video editing and minor LLM work. I use python and R often, as well as the Adobe cloud. Would also like to run Baldur’s gate 👀

Would appreciate input, can’t tell if the M5 Pro would be overkill.

Having worked on the Win environment since the last 24 yrs, I plan to switch to the MacBook. I have identified the MacBook Pro M5 with 48 GB RAM & 1 TB SSD.

The big question is: should I go for the M5 now, or should I wait for the M6. Pros and cons requested.

The expectation is that the MBP Ultra is coming with OLED and a touchscreen. The OLED I understand, but why would Apple put a touchscreen in a MacBook, and even more, who is really waiting for that?
I would not see a real use case for it. I mean, it would be different if you can detach the screen and use it as an ipad (so when you detach the screen macOS switcht to like a IpadOS), but as a MacBook? The angle is terrible to touch the screen, the screen gets full of fingerprints, and MacOS is not a touchscreen OS.

So, why is it coming? And why do you want it?

I often work at my desk with my MBP, and I'd like to connect it to my two monitors via HDMI/DP using just a single USB-C cable, while also charging it at the same time. Since I want to hide the dock under the desk and most cables are quite short, I'll also need an extension cable.

What do I need to look out for in order to connect two separate displays through a single port?

I have the MacBook with the M3 Pro.

hi everyone,
i’m a mac user and after something like 2 years using a macbook pro i’ve solved one of the things that i hated for long time.

Imagine this situation :
you’re on your bed while your mac is playing netflix or YT on your external display.
You need to get the volume Lower or Higher, to adjust the Brightness, to just pause the video, or you have to shut down netflix (or any other media player) and put your macbook in sleep mode to go sleep.

To make ALL of these actions, you need to get up from the bed, uncover yourself, put your feet on the freezing ground and reach your macbook.

For my personal needs I just developed MacRemote, a simple tool to do all that actions i’ve quoted previously and many others without the hassle of getting out of bed.

The code is Open Source and The Installation is so easy.

Pls try it and give me some tips to make it better and more useful ❤️

I’m about to buy an expensive MacBook Pro M5 Pro, so I’m gathering as much verified information as possible before investing.

Depending on the power socket available, I’ll sometimes use the duckhead directly and sometimes a 3-pin AC extension/power cord. This means I may need to detach/attach the duckhead 3–4 times a day, always gently and carefully.

My concern: can frequent attachment/removal eventually make the duckhead connection loose after months or years?

Has anyone used their MacBook charger this way for a long time? I’d really appreciate firsthand experience or reliable information rather than guesses. Thanks!
