Exactly. I still have 3 years to go before my current MBP is written off financially, and was thinking of buying an iMac and lugigng that around. Less convenient to carry, but at least I'm using all of the machine I'm paying for. With the MBP I'm us…

For me the base price is also a little steep (€899 in Holland, including taxes). Primarily because, aside from the CPU, I don't see where all that money could have gone to. The ram still starts at a measily 8GB for example. And even though it's PCI-…

I'm still a little underwhelmed and surprised that Apple keeps naming things "pro" when they're not upgradeable. People have been complaining about the Mac Pro being very much not a Pro device because of all the extra séparate devices one needs to b…

Not very surprising, looking at the lack of hardware updates in that department: the MacBook Pro only got an update late last year, but no new iMacs, Mac Pro's or Mac Minis. Partly because of Intel's lack of progress I guess, but still. They also ap…

Yeah, the ports themselves I don't really see as a problem. It's an inconvenience that will solve itself in the upcoming year(s)... the speed of the ports are such an improvement that I think it'll solve itself. But it's easier for someone to buy …

How is thinnes helping heat dispersion? Bigger towers mean more airflow, so wouldn't that work in a similar manner with laptops? Thicker laptop means more room for airflow and bigger/stronger fans right? Actually, you can definitely start a graphic…

I might indeed be mistaken. But as I said, that screenshot is from an iMac with 32GB of ram which I'm indeed not using all. Here's a screenshot of all 3 fields like you mentioned. If you'd consider the MacBook Pro having only 16GB of RAM, that wou…

It's actually quite easy for a "pro" to reach 16GB's. I'm using Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat throughout the day, with Word, Mail and Safari open at all times, and even after opening about 4 Illustrator files with packaging designs in them, and…

Cook also agreed with comments made by U.S. Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew, who said the tax ruling is a blatant grab at taxes owed to the U.S. government. "I think that's exactly what it is," Cook said. "I think it's a desire to reallocate taxe…

"However, many users mistakenly believe that all apps shown in the app switcher are currently running in the background on their phone, draining performance and battery. That's incorrect." How is it a waste of time? A lot of apps actually ask if th…

I think these so called "PC guys" might be the ones who wíll figure it out. I think they tend to have a much better understanding of electronics than car manufacturers who tend to be better with machinery. They're two very different beasts. And …

Thank you all the above posters… that is exactly what's going on. Unfortunately the government(s) are completely ignoring that fact, and all the political parties that dó mention that there's actually a difference between real refugees and the (most…

So what's the catch? In what way are they allowed to use (or misuse, depending on your point of view) your photos, should you put them on their Google Photos?

And they still believe they didn't and aren't copying Apple.

When it comes to car infotainment systems and the promises they make, I can't help but wonder if they even know what they're doing. In the past they've always had issues with everything "infotainment" they made: slow hardware, unintuitive software, …

3 hours of use is really not that much in my opinion. It's a LED light, and with that size lamp the built in battery should at least be big enough to last twice the amount. 3 hours is hardly a full evening and not sufficient, nor worth the $100.
