2019

Just wanted to check-in on everyone else who bought one of these back near the release in 2019/2020. The discussion on them has understandably quietened down and I was curious who stuck with theirs and who quietly switched to a Mac Studio or similar. I was planning to keep mine going for...

Hi kind tech enthusiast. I had a friend as if it is slowing his latest get Intel iMac down by having 2x 16GB Apple official RAM and 1x 32 Crucial RAM upgrade all in the system at the same time. He used Crucial's tool to ensure it was right but his mismatch combo of Apple Branded/ Crucial (48GB...

On my 2019 27" iMac, I have a Dell 24" second monitor connected via a USB 3 hub > HDMI. I like to keep Mail and Music on that second display, however two unexpected behaviors occur regularly: The Music window shifts back to the main iMac display frequently - although I can't make it happen by...

Hi guys I need help. My 2019 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (13inch) is having the screen backlight problem that they made a reprogram for in the past. I took it to the store they said I have to pay 600$ for. A replacement screen because it is not in the rep program. What should I do. I don’t want...

Hey all, so a while back I had a friend give me an A2159 (2019 MacBook Pro) chassis with everything in it except for the motherboard to toy around with. I decided a little while back that it was time to buy a board off of eBay to see if I can get it working. So, I buy an untested board for 200$...

I recently purchased 2x32gb RAM chips from OWC for my 2019 27" iMac with i9. I removed the original Mac RAM (2x4gb) and installed the OWC RAM only. I was not able to boot the computer when placing the OWC RAM in the same slots the Mac RAM(1 & 3) inhabited. I was able to boot the computer when I...

I bought an Intel-based MacBook Air last year. The fans are very loud and annoying. Other than that, my 2019 MBA works perfectly. Should I get an Apple Silicon Mac?

I thought I would break out my 2006 15" MBP and compare it to my latest 16" MBP and see how far the Machine has come in terms of design in the past fourteen years.

Hello all, I have notified unremoval dust particles on my MacBook Pro 16 screen during cleaning using special wipes for glossy screens and dry microfibre cloth. It looks like dust particle, but cannot be removed normally. It does not affect my visibility. What could it be? How can I remove...

Hey guys, A bit about my needs, I am a software developer building mainly web applications but nothing too heavy. I do not play video games or do anything graphic intensive besides maybe the odd video editing on iMovie but really amateur stuff just for fun. I just ordered a new iMac 27 Retina...

Some people say that mbp 16 display is amazing and built for its purpose. Sorry but this display has one of the worst on planet about pixel response time and feels terrible when scrolling. How can you accept this worst pixel response time??? How can you feel good with the knowledge of this issue...

Well I was hoping to get a 14.1 inch mbp but the 13inch is not fast enough for me to upgrade coming from a late 2016 mbp. So I am stuck with the 16. Originally I was hoping the 16 would be the same size as the 15. How much of a difference is it between the two? Is it really noticeable? Is...

Hi there, I've just installed my new Mac Pro 2019 and now I'm wondering, if (and how) I can connect my Rode VideoMic Pro + to my Mac to record audio/ speech with best possible quality. Apple sells an adapter from usb c to mic jack but the new Mac Pro is not listed under "compatible Macs". Any...

Hi guys! I want to buy a new 2019 16-inch MBP in a few months. I will use it primarily for work, but also would like to game on it. Yeah, I know Mac isn't for gaming, but in terms of mobility it's the best choice for me atm. I've run into a lot of issues with throttling and performance...
