The Mac isn't a good gaming platform, but that doesn't mean there aren't some good games that have been ported to the platform. Today I've got 9 great games you can run on your Mac today and that are on sale on Steam right now. I've played all these games
The above photo is a situation I'm in all the time, and it drives me crazy. Not the wires, those are all pulled out to make it clear what's going on. Basically, I use my MacBook Pro in clamshell mode most of the time, and it's hooked up to my
The Mac Studio looks great, and as a computer lover, I want one just because, but I thought this mental exercise was a good way to determine if it's right for you. Consider an alternate reality where the Mac Studio was released in October 2021, and the new MacBook Pros
Apple used their now-famous vague performance charts to show how their new M1 Ultra system on a chip smoked NVIDIA's top-of-the-line RTX 3090 graphics card both in performance and power usage. I believe Apple 100% about the power usage, but the performance numbers are a bit misleading, in my opinion.
I’m here to say that yes, I notice the notch on the 2021 MacBook Pro every single time I use the computer, and yes, it’s annoying. When these machines came out, everyone went out of their way to say something like, “I don’t even notice it!” and
On Thanksgiving 2018 I bought the 12.9” iPad Pro and sold my MacBook Pro to pay for it. I was all in on the iPad because I loved it and in retrospect, because it was where all the excitement was in new Apple computers. The iPad Pro was where
Oh man, do I wish I had $3,000 to throw at a computer right now… These machines look insanely good and I’m jealous of every Mac user who’s been waiting to get a new Mac until now because you just got yourself a doozy of an update.
For years people have been telling me that SD cards are a legacy feature, they’re just for a niche of users, and an SD reader didn’t belong on a Mac sold to millions and millions of people (despite Apple marketing their Pro machines specifically at people who use
With my recent purchase of a MacBook Air, I now have two 13” computers in my life, the MacBook Air and iPad Pro (2018). What I find really interesting is that while my iPad Pro feels almost too expansive sometimes, the MacBook Air feels very cramped by comparison. Why is
For 13 years straight, people asked for iOS to add home screen widgets. For 13 years you heard the same refrain from Apple fans: they suck on Android, Apple doesn’t want that crop on their phones. Then in iOS’s 14th revision, Apple added widgets. And you know what?
Andrew Denty has a great collection of comparisons between the current and upcoming versions of macOS. I have not installed Big Sur yet, mainly because the only Mac in my life is my work Mac, and while it is cleared for betas, I have no interest in risking anything breaking
Quinn Nelson put out a video yesterday about "Big Sur's Big Secret" I should have shared this thought earlier, but from the moment this year's WWDC keynote ended, I was convinced every Mac made with Apple Silicon is going to have a touch screen. The UI changes in this fall's
Catastrophe | waffle Podcasts should be the optimal poster child for Catalyst because it exists on many platforms, and I think it could be made to work so much better by being responsive to ways in which a Mac is not an iOS device. But what upsets me is not a
https://youtu.be/uATN5jYvyTc I don't know how to blame here, Twitter or Apple, but the Twitter app for Mac is really rough in its current form. Text editing specifically is really hard to justify and is not what I would expect from any app on the Mac.
I’m sure most of us are familiar with the folder view in the macOS dock. It’s been there for years, and it’s one of the most useful little things I use everyday on my Mac. I love how you can see large previews of these files, and
