    Why hasn't Apple updated the 13" MacBook Pro?

    Apple hasn't truly update the 13" model of the MacBook Pro since 2016, over 6 years ago, adding only the Touch Bar in 2018. I understand keeping the design the same with M1 and the first generation of Apple Silicon, but why did they keep the old, outdated design for M2? It seems to me like the...

    iMessage on Mac: Do you have it set up?

    Hi everyone, I’m curious: Do many of you have iMessages active on your Macs? I don’t know if it may be redundant to have it active on my Mac when I have my phone next to me, and messages with attachments can take up some space in the drive. I also worry if a ”spicy” pic gets received and...

    Upgrading 2006 17" MBP to M1?

    Hey, I know this looks like a stupid question but it's something I've genuinely been curious about. I have several 17" MBPs from 2006 that are pretty much useless due to their internal hardware, but I really love the design, size, and keyboard of those pre-unibody Macs. I was thinking of...
