LODGE NORTH posted:Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to clean a screen that's susceptible to "staingate"? My girlfriend's laptop is a 2016 MBP that is known for the issue and she has the tiniest of all marks from it in the upper right hand corner of her screen. I thought WOOSH cleaners were approved and used in Apple stores. So that's what I use for the occasional cleaning.

Path of Exile works on an M1 Mac. I don’t know if it’s native or not, but ya know... poo poo Also it runs stupid well on a M1 Air with 8GB. Amazing.

I assume we’ll get more attention on it when M1X comes out, but I’m kinda shocked that it hasn’t turned into more of a scene like Hackintosh did

Guys? Guys. And gals. And non binary pals. New iMacs on Tuesday, yeah? And maybe iPads and a HomePod? I’m going to stimulus check the gently caress out of Apple.

I know they’re great for everything usually, but the whole staingate thing is that normal cleaners seem to leave behind horrendous looking stains like this: I may go with the suggestion a few pages prior and just try a wet microfiber cloth. So far, all we’ve done is wipe it with a dry one and then properly cleaned the aluminum casing, keyboard, all that non-screen stuff.

I just finished building this piece of poo poo and it's literally slower in every way possible than my m1 MacBook pro and I LOVE IT In comparison to my Ghost s1, it's remarkable how little it still is:

I’ve always wanted a G3 iMac, G3 PowerMac, cheesegrater, trashcan, cheesegrater 2.....but I already have too many musical instruments, vintage pieces of audio gear, and plants to be able to bring more old collector poo poo into my life, so I’ll settle for colorful new AS Macs instead. Bring colors to the iMac and also to the other Mac lines pls.

I think the 27" imac size is perfect and a 30" display is slightly too unwieldy for my desk. I'm sure I'll love it though.

I hope apple doesn’t do something dumb like limit fun colors to the smaller size Although honestly a 23-24” screen with above-M1 power seems like it would be plenty of iMac for me

Yeah really hoping for a M1x iMac. Will be a day 1 purchase if so. If not, hopefully it depresses prices of M1 Mac Minis within a week. Will be watching.

Looks like the 1080p iMac ship times have slipped so if we do get a refresh I’d guess it’s an M1 in current design. Redesigned 4K iMacs with better Apple Silicon at WWDC.

toiletbrush posted:I want them to reveal new Mx iMacs more than anything else, but someone went and broke down previous Apple event posters and taglines and compared them to what we actually got and there was basically never any correlation Yeah I think it was Mac Rumours, basically if there ever is any correlation it's either blatantly obvious (Time Flies being the Apple Watch focused event in September) or only noticeable after the fact. So the event where the Macbook Air was revealed was titled "There's Something In The Air". People are just trying to read way too much into what the graphics team just thought looked cool. That said some people are theorising that the new iMacs might have the same colour options as the iPad Air which would make sense. njsykora fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Apr 18, 2021 |

And I’m an Apple geek that listens to most of the podcasts and watches most of the rumor videos. My feeling is if we get a Mac it’s going to be the smaller of the two imac . If not, by WWDC will definitely be getting the imacs , and hopefully the new 16 and 14 inch laptops, those could wait till the end of the summer.

Apple has released new laptops in May before and even February but that was roughly on Intel's clock; although in my bones I agree it's likelier they'll be announced at WWDC.

So is everyone else.. poo poo I'd even get whatever the lowest tier it would be, which I bet would be at least a 12 or 16-core Apple Silicon CPU / GPU.. Been using a used 2015 rMBP 15-inch as a daily and if there were no 16-inch Mx machine I'd stick with it..

ArsTechnica notes that the supply of 21.5 inch iMacs has dried up, which is often a good sign of an impending refresh.

It’s gonna be pretty dumb. The entry level stuff gets refreshed, now with iMac. But the bigger iMacs and better minis and MBPs are still half a year out.

My guess is the 16" 4-port MBP M1x will be announced at WWDC (early June) and available a month later (early July).

If you want a laptop like device with cellular capabilities Apple will happily sell you an iPad Pro and keyboard case. Or an iPhone to tether your Macbook to.

I'll go out and say the dumb quiet part loud, gently caress it, do what they did with the cheese grater. Give me a M1x Mac Pro starting at 1k with PCIe upgradability and I'd do things that are still technically illegal in the south for it.
