Let’s take a step into the wayback machine.. back to 2017 – whatever happened to the TouchBar? In hindsight, it’s easy to tell from a future when this model has just been phased out – the implementation felt offbeat. This model also suffered from keyboard and LCD flex cable issues, as well as the one […]

Once again, the base MacBook Pro takes a step forward with better performance. The machine is actually nearly identical to the newer A3113 (13″ ‘Air), except it looks like an A2992 (14″ ‘Pro). Essentially, a MacBook Air in the shape of a MacBook Pro. As of Late 2024, this was the final Apple Silicon-based MacBook […]

Now available in Space Black versus Space Gray, the M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14″ is terrifyingly fast. Almost feels like a wider, 2023 version of the PowerBook G3 Lombard.

The M2 MacBook Pro and Air were the second generation refresh in an entry level Pro lineup of ‘Books based on Apple Silicon. For $1299, you get a couple noteworthy upgrades over the M1 – bumped performance core clock speeds from 3.2 to 3.49 Ghz, 2 additional GPU cores, 100GB/s memory bandwidth vs the M1’s […]

I’m getting “heavy” 2009 Aluminum 17″ MacBook Pro vibes off of this. Is it the keyboard, with the return of the scissor switch? Is it the screen real estate, and return of physical buttons as opposed to a Touch Bar? It has rounded edges similar to a TiBook rather than tapered edges of the unibodies.. […]
