I watched this from day one. It could potentially make a nice 16TB SSD drive array with the Blade Station (albiet non standard drives). Whats strange is it was originally released with a Blade Station which a year later has never materialized. It's …

This article is skewed and I understand the skewed comments. I have over 3000 machines in a given year out on lease. I own all of them. The company leasing them adds them to their MDM accounts and are informed to remove them at the end of the lease …

I had the 2016, 2017, and 2018 all of which had issues of their own. On the 2016 15in I couldn't reliably pull off 4K @ 60Hz and of course keyboard space bar and dongles. On the 2017 it was pretty good performance and 4K external. When the keyboard …

I personally wouldn't care in my notebook was 18mm thick vs 12mm thick if I could just have a little more support around the display and no wear on the screen from the unnecessarily tight tolerances. I don't know why they do this. From the front usi…

The poeple in at the ends might care but the people in the middle and front facing the providers only care about bucks. We were very efficient and paid the workers 40% of each repair. Our rep basically told us due to our volume we should be sending …

For all of you kicking the non authorized service guys for not going legit, being a authorized service provider I specifically remember my rep. referring to an EXISTING authorized service provider wanting to open another service center. The service …

Maybe if the complex design of the current products like the MacBook Pro 15in TouchBar didn't have the need for $600 in service tools, and 70 possible logic board combinations they wouldn't have to worry about nickel and dime policy on screws. Isn't…

This article should read "Authorized Service Providers" and not "Third Party Repair Shops"

correct Seagate bought LaCie to match the Hitachi/G-Drive thing. If anyone knows if Segate/Buffalo are the the same chime in.

After waiting for the new models, I felt the best bet was backwards to a high end 2015 15in. First you can still get a bigger SSD if I run out on the 500 (thanks OWC). Second if I have an out of warranty repair I wont have to have the top case, touc…

Robin nailed it above. Buying a "new" iMac 21.5 gets you 2015 hardware, and slow notebook hard drive. For Fusion offerings a SSD "hybrid" HD where there is less than 1/5th the SSD portion of the faster 2013 models. You have to buy the middle model a…

If you one of the 29 people who bought one I bet your upset. The 300 US workers they hired to assemble it will be re tasked to process shipping iPads back to Asia to have broken screens repaired.

Their head is so far up their *ss they use typical Apple "how to say no in a positive" "there are many great displays out there." Can you imagine going to buy a 3K Mac Pro at a retail store and they will be programmed not to tell you which monitor t…
