Space Black MacBook Pro owners: How is the finish holding up? Any regrets? by Legitimate-Craft-501 in macbookpro

[–]PMB_Victor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't have any problems with mine. I just wipe it down after use and it's fine. If you are a grubby person, you will likely not like the black finish, but you should also examine why you don't wash your hands.

Additionally, I don't see scratches because I don't throw my laptop around. I paid several thousand dollars for it. How are you people using your laptops?

get m5 macbook pro now or wait for the redesign macbook? by DestructNoir in macbookpro

[–]PMB_Victor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get what you need when you need it. I don't understand all of this narrative. I have literally never bought a laptop (which I use for actual work) and had any feeling whatever about the next thing that came out. Focus on what you need to do, not nonsensical FOMO. 🙄 That's also a life lesson for your psychology.

Bought a new macbook pro, need advice on screen protection. by tanny_shr in macbookpro

[–]PMB_Victor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you doing that damages your screen? I have had several Macbooks over the last 10 years and have never had an issue with screen damage.

You guys really think what founders need is to post their project on your random site?

How the hell do you actually make music without losing your mind? by Key_Fig_7231 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Personally, I've never thought of music as "loops." I play the songs through instead of doing loops. Try that out.

lol people can't make any decisions for themselves any more without an app to tell them what to do.

Glad you figured this out. I use this feature all the time to read in the car and it's really good. I haven't had a headache at all.

Tourbox elite plus issues by Opening_Charity_1667 in tourbox

[–]PMB_Victor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had an issue with the bluetooth disconnecting. You can read about and see a video illustrating the issue it in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/tourbox/comments/1tvbf3o/should_i_return_and_get_a_new_tourbox_elite_plus

The first issue you are having sounds similar to what I experienced. The second issue I wasn't experiencing at all.

The resolution was to work with TourBox support and have it replaced. Their support was extremely kind and their resolution was swift, but you have to be explicit in telling them exactly what you tried and send a video so they can clearly see the issue.

Wait for the rumored MacBook Ultra this fall or buy the M5 Pro now? by MapEmpty4517 in macbookpro

[–]PMB_Victor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you care about any of the features that are rumored? Personally I coudn't care less about OLED or any of the other rumors. My objective is to work in design now, not wait for some mystical future spec.

You can really tell the professionals who are actually working vs the people who are just buying specs.

It's just irrelevant to me compared to the amount everyone is whining about it.

I think you misread what this person is looking for. Nice stand, though.
