  • Inside Apple's 2016 MacBook Pro: Graphics processing unit choices

    I bought my first Mac in 2004 and had zero regrets.  For the next 12 years, every computer I bought was a Mac.  As the years went on and the iPhone and iOS became more and more Apple's focus, the only thing that really kept me with Mac was OS X/macOS.  But this year I finally decided the Mac just wasn't meeting my needs anymore and I built my own PC with a 980ti inside.  I thought about going the hackintosh route but the thing I liked most about OS X/macOS was that most of the time things worked without issue and I don't want a hackintosh where things might not be as smooth as they should be.  While the PC is only used for VR and rendering, my daily driver is still my 2012 MBA - which I would really like to upgrade but I'm not really feeling the current Apple lineup and if I have to give up the ports I have now for just one or two USB-C ports, I'll be fully migrating away from OS X/macOS by 2017.  

    and don't even get me started on the iPhone... all I know is I'm giving them until September 2017 to impress me or I'm giving up on Apple all together.  It's really sad to see just how much Apple has changed since I first fell in love with them.  I want the old Apple back.  The one that cared about their Mac users
