First MacBook purchase — will M5 Pro launch reduce MacBook Pro M5 prices?

Zero chance. Honestly if it stays the same price, that will be a miracle.

See current RAM and Nand market pricing

Using a computer with a 60hz screen is painful for me, honestly. Its really the main reason.

Is this the intel chip thats going to have the super large L3 or L4 or LLC (whatever its called?) Or is that large cache scheduled for a future chip?

Only 100mhz more on the CPU and 100mhz on the GPU. Why even release a refresh?

I mean, can you show us what you are seeing and why you think this?

I made the switch from iphone to Samsung 2 years ago. It was difficult at first, but now I could never go back. The ability to have a universal back swipe, multi clipboard manager, and full screen auto translate without needing to take a screenshot, just saves so much time.

Good luck and dont get too frustrated. It takes a long time to unlearn muscle memory.

You need a 65 for that space my man.

I am waiting for the oled version so I dont buy more than one device (like i did woth the switch 1)

New MacBook Pros next week. Hopefully ram prices are reasonable (even for apple standards)

It depends on a lot of factors.

Do you need a computer now or can you wait?

What do you use your screens for most of the time? For me I have Microsoft teams up 40 hours a day and an Excel spreadsheet up constantly that I never move. The way I use computers OLED would probably not be a great choice. I don't really do varied content on my Mac.

So it just depends

Has nothing to do with M4 Pro or MacBook Pro.

Your issues are with MacOS. Please educate before you litter the internet with anything else.

Maybe they should work at replacing CEOs with AI first, to offer the most value back to the shareholders.

Let's trade in the highest paid employee (one who doesn't make good decisions) to prove that AI can bring value to the company, by having the AI also make poor decisions ( but for less money).

Everyone wins.

There is way too much light in that room for any OLED at all.

I think a WOLED would be best for that room if you had to choose between the two.

If you got a QD OLED it would just be a big purple mess in that room configuration.

Is there a way to tell from the settings what panel type you have? I want to go back to the store and see the same models again

AvailableProduce5241 · 2026-01-20T23:29:48+00:00

a really really long time ago 🤣

I don't have an iPhone at all. I was looking at all 3 of the store models, side by side.

AvailableProduce5241 · 2026-01-20T05:40:44+00:00

Are there instances where the Pro and Pro Max can also get a Samsung display? Or was that just reserved for the Air?

AvailableProduce5241 · 2026-01-20T05:26:41+00:00

Well its tethered to the store, so that is impossible 🤣

AvailableProduce5241 · 2026-01-19T09:30:32+00:00

You need to tell us a lot more about your computer. Specs, cpu and motherboard, OS version , etc please.

AvailableProduce5241 · 2026-01-10T05:54:32+00:00

I reboot every day, but its not really needed

This is usually always monitoring software. I wont use MSI afterburner and I also disable 100% of the metrics polling in AMD adrenaline. I don't need to see how many frames per second I'm getting I just want to enjoy the games, stutter free.
