Hi guys. I have a problem. I cannot decide which one to buy. I'm looking for a used mac up to $800. For that price I can buy used MacBook Air 2017 on craigslist, or sometimes even new (BestBuy discounts) or MacBook from 2016 or sometimes 2017. In most cases MB is around $100 more expensive than...

I've got a 2012 Mac Pro with an NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB graphics card, so Metal 2 is supported (on the graphics card end). Trial copy of Pixelmator Pro works just fine. However, I cannot purchase a license from the App Store because the computer hardware is not on the supported list. Any...

Hello, I am looking for some opinions on my next mac purchase. First, I use the computer for graphic design and occasional gaming (bootcamp and MAC OS). I mostly work in print design so my files are hi-res. 600 -1200 DPI. My projects are often 12GB-30 GB. I usually have 3-5 AdobeCC apps...

Greetings, I have a chance to purchase new iMac 27 (Kaby Lake), with i5-7600, 575, 8GB of RAM. And that config will suit my needs perfectly (Unity, corona, Xcode, Android Studio, Windows in parallels for .NET development). But only thing that I really hate is - Fusion Drive. And just one 1tb...

I purchased the Endless Numbers app on an iPad with child profile (newest gen iPad). I approved the purchase from my iPhone when the notification popped up. The entire app with in-app purchase downloads fine on my iPhone 7Plus. However, on the iPad, which is where I most need the app, it still...

Hi, whats up? I was wondering if buying an iMac from Apple directly has any benefits? Like Apple Care maybe? The store that Id like to purchase from offers different guarantee options. 2,3,4 or 5 years of Apple guarantee. But is a guarantee or care package included when purchasing from...

Came across an article on sixcolors.com from Jason Snell about purchasing a Mac for a student. Now, obvious exceptions include family where money is no exception and obviously know you have a genius and you want to give them the best tools to learn. Taking into consideration, a MacBook Pro is...

Hi all, haven't visited MacRumors in a while, and I just saw the thread "So, No Mini" headline and screamed. Okay, it was a very disappointed muffled shriek. I still feel queasy. As it happens, I've recently been looking at the Apple Store website, B&H, etc. at Mac Minis for my parents. I had...

I'm looking to upgrade my tripod and it's between these two options. My current 190 Aluminium mostly doesn't get taken out because of the weight and the bulk. https://www.manfrotto.co.uk/190-go-carbon-4-section-camera-tripod-with-twist-locks Advantages are it's lighter than what I have but...

We have a last purchase thread Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII but we don't have a review thread (well not that I could find). As you may or may not know when you buy products many sites like Amazon will ask you to post a review. However they are also full of fake reviews. So the idea is we...

I just had the worst experience of buying an iPhone in Thailand, one of the so-called “developing” countries. The experience was so bad that I decided to write this to raise an awareness that there is work to be done to improve the customers' experience in buying and getting Apple services...

I'm a research student working on text mining areas. I normally use Macbook Air 2013 (13 inches, 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 256GB) to process heavy tasks of text processing. Sometimes I find that my machine runs load of things and I hear noise (kinda fan noise but not sure if it has a...

With the RUMORED announcement of the new MacBook Pro looming... For someone like me who doesn't care about the latest/greatest, does Apple usually drop the prices on their PREVIOUS model (say the 2015 models) once the newest model comes out? That is a typical business practice, however, Apple...
