    Which 2017 laptop?

    Hi guys I'd like to buy a laptop complementary to a desktop workstation. I will use it when traveling, mainly to do some photoshop, backup 4K footage to an external drive, maybe some rough editing. I need maximum portability as my back already hurts so I'm not considering the 2015 models. It...

    new MacBook has second gen butterly keyboard, starts with m3, up to 16GB RAM

    It's good news about the keyboard, I wonder if it's any difference (i.e. thinner) than the MBP keyboard. I was hoping for the base to be an i5, in line with all other consumer Macs, rather than an m3. However, they did keep their higher clock speed to the base clock is now 1.2GHz with the m3...

    MacBook Consolidation - MBP 2016?

    Hi all, My first post here. I'm getting a little frustrated with my laptop predicament and would be grateful for any advice! Basically, I own two recent MacBooks - a MacBook Pro 13" 2015 and a 12" Space Grey MacBook 2015. However, I don't need two - it's actually rather annoying having two...

    Safari Toolbar graphical bug

    Hi, I've been using a 12'' MacBook (2015) since October/November 2016 and this graphical bug keeps existing. Is there anything I can do without installing macOS again? It's very annoying! It appears sometimes and disappears when I move the cursor onto the toolbar.

    Case Recommendations?

    I'm looking for a good case to protect my space grey rMB but they don't seem to have them in stock anywhere (Best Buy, Apple Store, etc.) except for the clear Speck case (too bulky and that gloss scratches pretty fast). I've been browsing online and am eyeing either the Moshi iGlaze or the...
