    Another help me choose post - 2016 MBP

    Hello all, I figured since the reviews and benchmarks that came out yesterday didn't help me make my decision as much as I had hoped, that I would ask the people of this forum for some advice. I currently have a 2012 13" rMBP with 2.5 i5, 8GB ram, and 256 ssd. It runs well still for basic...

    13'' MacBook Pro Non-Touch Bar Configuration Options for Programmer

    Hi everyone, I am studying computer science in college next year, and I have decided to purchase a 2016 13'' MacBook Pro without the touch bar. I personally don't care for the touch bar, and I have decided the 2.9 GHz processor isn't worth it for me. I do however have a question about the...

    Across all the heated and passionate discussions, I have noticed that there is a number of misconceptions that are getting repeated over and over again.

    rMBP Order / Reorder Question

    Hey everyone, I have a base model 15" Macbook Pro preordered and I am looking to modify my order, and I believe the only way to do so is to cancel and reorder if I am not mistaken? I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to cancel an order placed using the Education Discount and then...

    2016 MACBOOK PRO Touch Bar (YouTube Reviews)

    Guys, I was really excited by the release of the new MBPtb, but after researching, and watching YouTube videos, no one has anything positive to say about it. I was wondering if the missing features, added gimmicks, and high cost should make me reconsider a current new rMBP or even a new MBA (to...

    Is anyone considering Windows after this lastest MacBook release?

    On a personal note, I feel like Apple has been super greedy and not innovative enough to justify their price hikes. With the recent MacBook Pro Late 2016 release I was gutted with disappointment on this refresh. Stupid and simple things like not being able to plug in your iPhone without an...

    So is the new 87W USB-C Power Adapter just block with a plug? No USB-C cable? And obviously, no extension cable correct?

    Mac Pro Election! Who would you vote?

    I really want to get the feel of this: Who would you vote for the next Apple CEO? Who would you think might actually bring Mac PRO back? Or at least improve/continue with it? This is Satya's "speech." Here's Tim's "speech." UPDATE: Phil

    Just venting: Mac Pro Post Keynote video

    Meh, I just want to make fun of the current situation. I see lot of frustration, maybe I can cheer someone up with a quick editing of OFFICE SPACE clip: Tim Cook (post keynote edition). I'm testing out a new version of FCPX...not used to it.

    Question for photo/video editing pros that use Macbook Pro

    I have a 15" 2010 MBpro that can not even play 1080p video without stuttering/freezing. While waiting for a new release, I have been using my iPad to edit photos and make videos which has been tough since I much rather use the laptop. I ordered the new macbook 15" with 1tb SSD and Iam second...

    Is the addition of USB-C to the new iMac a good reason to upgrade?

    I'm looking to purchase the 27" iMac 5K and have been holding out due to the rumored announcement of the 2016s. I plan on using it to edit 4K footage in Final Cut Pro X and edit pictures in Adobe Lightroom, no hardcore gaming (separate PC for that), no 3D rendering (just the typical...

    So...we only have Kaby Lake and Sky Lake?

    If we want the KabyLake installed on the new rMBR, then we have to wait until the Q1 of 2017? If Apple releases the new rMBR this Oct. or Nov. we will have a non-up-to-date CPU, right? :(

    Received the IP7 and overall impression....

    I was a bit shocked that this thread didn't exist, usually on release there are threads with 50+ pages of user feedback. But I guess majority of people are waiting for their phones to arrive. Coming from an ip6 plus model to the 7plus I barely notice the difference of the two. Luckily my friends...
