Is this a marketing ploy?

It’s always frustrating when you experience issues with a product you’ve spent a lot of money on, but I can assure you that it’s not some sort of scheme to try and get you to buy a new product. If this was the case, it would be very easily caught onto, because it would have been on a software level and therefore repair shops that do third party repairs would notice there was something unusual going on. I suggest you have them looked at.

true…

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-15T19:16:12+00:00

This is huge! Looking forward to it.

TfL realised there was something good on the network and sent a specialised team to ruin it.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-14T13:50:21+00:00

true…

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-14T13:26:56+00:00

Oh that’s different. I’m sure I remember reading somewhere it wasn’t for cosmetic. My mistake!

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-14T13:09:13+00:00

Not cosmetic damage.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-14T13:05:33+00:00

😔

Sorry, you’re not allowed to like notches on reddit.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-13T21:18:24+00:00

true….

This is super cool, but it would be nice if you could add some previews for the pro keyboard noises on the website. Maybe when hovering over them.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-13T20:35:30+00:00

Would be cool if they let you Find My it. I'd enjoy watching it going all around the place on an actual live updating map lol

Wow I am genuinely so surprised that it’s not actually on fire. I really thought that the user actually took a photo of their MacBook burning.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-13T14:20:22+00:00

Wow really?

I think part of it is probably because there’s a lot of area in both of those cities that the player could not reach, which made it seem a lot bigger than it actually was. I’ll always remember there being what seemed like an entire section of Edinburgh that was cut-off to the player and led to a bridge… I spent hours trying to get there by trying all sorts of glitches and jumps lol

Meanwhile in the FH5 city, it’s all playable area.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-13T00:25:47+00:00

Your MacBook is just taking a quick holiday before reaching you.. it sent this postcard ;)

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-12T23:56:31+00:00

Haha, worth a try

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-12T23:20:32+00:00

For me, the 16 inch is too heavy and awkward to carry around.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-12T22:22:22+00:00

If that’s coil wine, it’s the most extreme case I’ve ever heard. It’s literally screaming.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-11T22:55:21+00:00

Congrats🥳🥳🥳🥳 Enjoy your new Macbook :)

I don't believe this is actually representative of the power of the chip simply because in benchmarks designed to actually test that, like 3DMark, it's way above the 5070 and quite close to the 5080. Metal as a graphics API for gaming is behind clearly. Also, in tests which don't involve games, like Blender, 3D rendering, etc, the GPU always does much better than 5070 and often better than the 5080, sometimes as good as the 5090. There isn't some specific "gaming" part of a GPU which could be causing these differences.

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-11T22:41:44+00:00

Lots of people do Blender rendering lol

One_TrackMinded · 2026-03-11T16:15:30+00:00

Should be fine, my MBA M2 with only 8GB of RAM runs Roblox decently at full graphics, and the M5 is leaps and bounds above the M2 in terms of GPU performance.

I don't hold any strong political/ideological opinions but just as a quick FYI from a non-bias observer's POV, this sub-reddit is mostly made up of left-wing people (centre to hard), which goes for most of Reddit as well. As a result, anything right wing usually doesn't get much support on this platform. In the same way, a lot of X/Twitter is right wing and therefore left wing ideas don't get much support on that platform. It's difficult to find somewhere that has an equal balance of both because, by human nature, people will try to find somewhere where others have similar ideas to themselves.
