The 2021 generation of the MacBook Pro 14″ and 16″ can reach a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits selectively and 1,000 nits over the entire surface - at least for HDR content. In regular use, the brightness is limited to 500 nits. "Vivid" is a small app that enables HDR brightness permanently in other applications as well. Thereby, ...

Those who use MacOS will usually also use the timemachine backup. However, if the backup is to be encrypted, there are a few tricks that can be used to avoid a slow timemachine backup.

With the Macbook Pro 2016, Apple has introduced new Macbooks after a long wait at the end of October 2016. Since my Macbook Air from 2012 no longer meets my current requirements, I now have the opportunity for a direct comparison. As before, the new Macbook Pro 2016 comes in a 13- and a 15-inch variant. Both are equipped with Intel processors.
