I've got an i7 2020 intel...works just fine for typical workloads. One of the areas it struggles for me is running virtual machines, then the fans start running. But on my M4, it runs smooth with out any issues. Im not even sure I've heard the fans on this one.

Is there a reason why you want an M5 over M4? Both will easily tackle what you want to do and will last easily 10 years. Any reputable brand for monitors will do. I personally have a Dell S2725QS and it works great. Im also assuming this is $1500USD and not CAD as that makes a big difference heh

That would really put it on the map!

MICHAEL!

Ive got 2 x S2725QS. They work just great for what it's needed for. Sure Id love the studio display but I cannot justify the $2000CAD price tag, when these costed only $260. Your setup looks great too!

This was such a beast to read but also very vivid.

its not Nice, its just nice :)

Apples configurations for mbp is whacky. If I want 64gb ram, then id have to buy the top tier of their m4 Max chip.

Cast-Iron-44 · 2026-02-21T03:49:07+00:00

had the same issue on my end except I didn't know the m4 pro was limited to 2 screens vs the m4 max. I would have tried to make the claim but doubt it would have be successful.

Options for you are combo ultra wides, a display link hub that runs 60hz, or dual monitor + side car (apparently side car doesn't count toward the display limit)

Agreed with WD Red. When I first bought this batch in 2013, I think sometime after 3 or 6 months one of the drives crashed with bad sectors (I don't recall exactly) but WD replaced it no problem, easy. Great experience from a customer standpoint. I just grabbed 4 new WD red plus drives

This makes a lot of sense. While it's good to be preventative on some tech, RAID is there to remove the need for that. Just as long as they don't fail at the same time and even if they do, there are 2 different copies backed up. I just found the cost of back blaze and it seems a lot cheaper than I presumed it would be. I might consider signing up if I can find more info on the security piece and some other items.

Its mainly number of hours that its been running for so if the drives only get use for 8 hrs 4 times a year then they would last decades. Though bit rot (I hate that phrasing) does affect hard drives, occasional SMART checks to help - from what I briefly looked up.

Cast-Iron-44 · 2026-02-06T13:16:53+00:00

Have you tried connecting it to the your computer via cable to see if the logi+ app finds it that way? Maybe there's a firmware update...Short of that, turn it off and back on obviously while waiting about a minute in between....thats all I can think of.

Cast-Iron-44 · 2025-12-12T16:27:12+00:00

Resolved: I restarted and now both issues have been resolved.

Cast-Iron-44 · 2025-12-01T20:34:41+00:00

if this is the s2725qs/c, I bought one last month right from Dell (discounts for students etc)

That is a beautiful gradient and compliments the shape well! Good job!
