The absolute deal break from my perspective is the lack of lightning connector. This means that I have to remove the phone from the case at the office to dock the phone on my speakers, in the car to sync the phone with my stereo, and at home…

I have read some ridiculous crap on this website before, but this may take the cake. Apple stock has imploded as a percentage versus the rest of the S&P500. A change in capital gains rates should affect all stock equally. This is …

As usual, AI performs a half-assed review and leaves out loads of potentially useful information. 1) Can the thing run Windows properly? Those of us that use these as a combination work/personal machine, need to use Windows. Obviously Win…

Um, apparently you guys were reading a different article than I was. 1) HP still turns a very substantial profit. Even their home computing arm turned a tidy profit of $550m+ according to the article. The only issue was the profit margin. So HP…

I am going to go out on a limb, here. I think that this all stems back to the issue in using Nvidia boards with intel. The old 13" machines packed an intel processor with an integrated, but very powerful, Nvidia GPU (powerful for the size of t…
