[Chevalier]

Hey Guys, starting this to welcome new owners and enthusiasts alike.

Was thinking we can share how we use the Macbook and if there are any cool applications\use case that you have especially for the touchscreen?

huzzah

i'll start first

Upgraded from 14" M1 Pro to this. I was waiting for a the purported re-design when rumours floated 2 years back, never came out till now.

to me, this is a huge upgrade as i use it it mainly for
- photos
- wow forever
- docker
- dabbling in LLMS

i definitely notice night and day performance difference and the OLED display is just *chefs kiss*

the weight savings is noticeable too! i carried it out over the weekend and i could immediately tell the difference.

Using iphone mirroring mode via the touch screen has been a new convenience that I enjoy.

Dont have and dont find the need to upgrade now
Still using my M1 13 inch touch bar MBP

For me my games mostly works on Windows, even though FF14 have Mac compatability.
Means if I were to change to Mac, i have to buy additional license for FF14.

Still stick to windows. I have my M1 MBP i rarely use, bought since 2021 until now, battery about 96%

Wah 14” M1 Pro still very solid to today, I “downgraded” mine to M4 MBA because of Sky Blue ~

Can you put this black level test pattern on your PROLED

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php
(there may be warning about unsecure http, which is fine for just looking at the test pattern).

and report to us whether you can see the first 5 darkest squares on your PROLED?
Screen brightness should be around 50% (corresponds to about 100 cd on MiniLED)
