2017

I have the new base-level 2017 MacBook Pro 13" (non-****bar). Very often, the fan starts running jstu because I'm playing a simple 720p YouTube video. Even more so when I play it at 1080p so I stopped doing that. The MacBook itself does not get hot, and Activity Monitor does not show any high...

So I'm looking to run Windows for the occasional bit of gaming, and am just wondering if anyone has a rough idea of how much of a performance hit I'd be taking by putting Bootcamp on a USB-C SSD rather than on my 2017 iMac SSD (i7, 580)? I have other libraries I could probably offload onto the...

Hey, how are you guys doing? Finally got a 2017 iMac mid tier model. 3,5 i5 CPU 575 GPU 512GB SSD From the first the second on the iMac was very noisy and it just doesn't get any quieter. I didn't even push it or open any programs. I just installed updates and that's it. I used a friend's...

Hi, I bought an iMac 27" 5k (2017 model of course) and I received it 10 days ago. Since 3-4 days ago I noticed after just some minutes it makes a kind of "electric noise" when the monitor is "used", I mean when I do something on the screen, even for simple tasks: scrolling, resize a folder...

Hi, I have bought a new iPad 2017 9.7" and an Apple Smart Cover. I would like to protect the back of my iPad but Apple doesn't have back cover for this model. I have bought a "kw mobile back cover" but I don't like it because doesn't adhere well. What do you recommend me to buy? Thank you

hi. I got my self an iMac 2013 3.2Ghz 27" that I really love. But now I moved on from using adobe premeire and after effects to blender and I'm starting to really feel the machine stragglers. Not the after didn't stress out the CPU but now it's a bit over it's head. Any way. Buying a new...

Hi guys! I'm pretty new here, both in the world of Macs and MacRumors. I'm planning on buying on the 13-inch Macbook Pro with the Touchbar that was released in 2017 and I need your opinion on this. For background, these are the options on Apple's website: Processor 3.1GHz dual-core...

I've been had this issue since last year, I write down my conclusion about this issue. I tested 10 different 15' 2016 model, and 2 different 2017 15' Model. I personally had a connection with Engineer Team through Agency in Apple. This thread is for helping people who are struggling with this...

I thought I would come to this thread to ask. I purchased a new 2017 iMac, spec wise, it has 3.5GHz Intel core i5 CPU, Radeon Pro 575, 8GB RAM and 1TB fusion drive, so it's the mid configuration out of three available stock options. I've noticed this issue on my outgoing late 2015 iMac with...

Haven't seen any thread addressing this question for the new model. What I use my mac for: excel and stata (mostly financial and macro econ modeling, use some pretty phat spreadsheets and models); am learning R and how to write in C; watching rick and morty; porn. Would I be better served...

Was wondering if anyone could share their experience with video editing on Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) on their 2017 Base 27" iMac with Radeon Pro 570. Was concerned if there would be any noticeable issues/lag with prolonged/advanced video editing on the base machine in FCPX. I'd imagine that video...

I recently purchased the newly released 15" 2017 MacBook Pro - with Radeon Pro 560 4gb graphics card. I spent over $3.3k on this setup. Minutes after receiving the MBP, opening and going through the setup process I went to check out "About this Mac" and assumed I would see all the correct...

Hi Guys, Just want to share my settings (bootcamp) for Dota 2 which will give you a fixed 60fps. I know this machine is not for gaming, but to those who want to play this game occasionally you guys can copy the below settings: resolution: 1680 x 1050 texture quality: high effects quality: high...

The nTB 15w 2.3 with boost to 3.6 (I5-7360U) is faster than the TB 28w i5 with 3.1 with boost to 3.5 (I5-7267U) Really? Sounds good to me as I have zero interest in that touch bar, but a little hard to believe. I tend to trust them for the most part though. They seem to be pretty accurate...

Has anyone here encountered an issue where when the computer is warm, the trackpad becomes sticky and refuses to click down in certain areas? This only happens when Force Click and Haptic Feedback are enabled in system preferences. Quick test is to open up 8-10 tabs of YouTube videos. My 3 week...

Hello all, I'm currently a college student and I plan on getting the 2017 nTB MacBook Pro this summer. I am choosing between 8GB and 16GB RAM. Here are my general uses: web browsing, video streaming, occasional light picture or video editing, light gaming such as League of Legends, and I do...

Hey, how are you guys doing? I'm a video editor (starting out) and beginner music producer. I work with Adobe CC programs. Im looking to buy a 2017 27 inch iMac. I have a budget of about 2700€ / 3000$. I'll be crying when I spend it because it took so long to earn that money but hopefully the...

I recently purchased a customized MBP. (2017 13in nTB space grey with an i7, 512 SSD, 16GB of RAM) It looks as though the score is higher than almost every 2017 13in TB MBP. It doesn't make sense. https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/3245525 I came from a mid 2012 non retina 15in...

So, after going back and forth on waiting for the iMac Pro or long-prophesied Mac Pro, I've decided I'll probably get a 2017 iMac and fill it up to the gills with (third party) RAM to use as my next Logic Pro-focused machine. What I'm still on the fence about is how to approach the HD...
