A:AnswerThe Max allows you to run 4 displays at up to 6K (thunderbolt I/O)
HDMI is 2.0, so limited to 4K @ 60Hz, so with the built in display you can run five external, and the internal for 6 splits
A:AnswerOne thing I love about best but is that they are very good with their price match. They want the customers and if it means matching to keep you coming for more I’m sure they will. Ask prior to placing order and give them the link with the educator discount
A:AnswerBest Buy offers the exact same AppleCare+ that the Apple Store provides, which covers hardware, accessories included in the box, and accidental damage protection for three years. After the three years are up, you have the option to renew the AppleCare+ protection.
A:AnswerNot on BestBuy.com currently as of 10/25/21. Only if you purchase directly through Apple. Most people don't need an additional 32GB of RAM unless you're working with 3D graphics and the like. 32 is typically plenty. If you want to upgrade, I'd upgrade the storage or the processor to the M1 Max to "future proof" the laptop.
A:AnswerMagSafe 2 and the original MagSafe chargers will not be compatible with these new MacBooks. However, you will be able to use USB-C chargers as well as the provided MagSafe 3.
A:AnswerIt’s definitely not notorious, it’s functional and it’s easily dismissed by the user and the UI, as there’s several dozen extra rows of pixels in the top menu bar that isn’t part of the functional UI as years past.
But the fact is the camera/web camera is a helluva lot better @ 1080p now (and occupies the ‘notch’), as are the speakers and audio when compared with the older 720p cameras in the wide bezels used until now. And by many PC makers still.
IOW = non-issue - it’s not usable space and being black, with the mini/micro-LED displays ability to hit near pure black like OLED, it’s not even noticeable. I’ve forgotten it’s there and I use Menu Meters, as well as other junk in the bar without issue
Any reviews that mention the notch as notorious, ugly, distracting, or otherwise negative are poorly written reviews. The best laptops money can buy are these MBPs if you’re a creator and/or enjoy quiet creation and wicked performance on real world tasks with efficient and powerful battery/unplugged muscle, it just doesn’t get any better!
Ice the reviews that do anything but mention the notch and move on - saying the same I did
You will forget about it a minute or two after boot up
A:AnswerProbably not without starting on fire because of the computational load it would put on the M1 Max chip with all the card shuffling and flipping. They might sell Apple Ice Water that you could have next to you while playing just in case the MacBook would start on fire. Good question. You likely saved some lives asking.
