    What to Replace 2015 MBP with?

    My mbp has the 2.5 quad-core i7, 16gb of ram, and 2gb AMD R9. I don’t quite understand the new M1. People are raving over it, and that excitement is great, but I don’t know how to compare that to more traditional hardware. Is a Mac Mini M1 an all around upgrade for me? I was about to buy a 5k...

    Hi, I'm looking to finally get an external SSD (preferably 1tb) for my 256gb early 2015 13" MBP to keep my FCPX libraries on. I guess only the thunderbolt ones will make the idea work? I don't have a huge budget for this so is the idea just not a smart one, or is there a good Thunderbolt 2 SSD...

    Recommend updating macOS on 2015 macbook pro?

    Hi guys, I have this theory that iPhones start to become obsolete when you update your iOS. It's just a matter of time before the phone's problems increase and you need a later model. So I don't update my iOS for as long as humanly possible. Usually towards the end it's a race between my...

    2015 MacBook Pro in 2018?

    The new 2018 MPBs seem to be fine in every way, except the price. I’ve been almost at the point of ordering a 13 inch 16/512, but for a bit more a 15 inch 16/256 may be a better option. That’s where a 2015 MBP 15 inch comes along. Just saw an APPLE clearance 2.2/16/256 for the same price as a...
