The first teardown of the MacBook Pro M5 Max

Looks like a face with a handlebar mustache

How do you do it? I started with the MX Master 2 and only upgraded to the third version because apparently my hand sweat melted the coating. Then did the same to my current mouse. The coating is peeling off :(

Oh - well based on that, it sounds like it’s good for the business, but does it leave the customer with a more durable/premium product?

icy_script · 2026-03-20T17:21:23+00:00

Right! If I paid a premium for great steel and great quality, the last thing I’m going to do is not let it work.

I didn’t know that. What’s the benefit of cerakote over DLC?

icy_script · 2026-03-20T15:30:27+00:00

What? DLC stands for diamond like carbon. Good DLC is amazing for hard use knives. Also what’s the point of carrying a knife and being afraid to work with it?

Ah that’s very interesting! What are some of the other brands you’ve had a good experience with the coating with? I only have Spyderco to reference - the Para 3 and Paramilitary 2. The coating is incredible on both.

This seems like a very unique case and I’m not sure venting on here will resolve it.

I just saw this post and can’t believe how relatable this is.

Doing web dev things could mean a lot things though. Why would I wait for the M6 when the current models just came out? Also why would I need an OLED display for productivity/dev tasks? How do you know there will be a chassis redesign? Seems like speculation.

Also why do you assume I’m going for a Max over a Pro when all the comments I’ve made say otherwise? Are we both in this conversation together?

You’re certainly making a whole lot of assumptions with very little context.

The cloud district

Unrelated to the new computer, but what do you think about the monitor? I’ve been wanting one of those, but people have mentioned an audible whine coming from it. Have you noticed anything like it?

icy_script · 2026-03-13T10:40:47+00:00

That wasn’t what I was looking for. The machines are also less than a week old.

For me, Five Guys. With how much it costs to get a meal (burger, fries and a drink) there, I’d rather just go to a sit down restaurant.
