macgui said: I bought a popular 2880 m.2 NVMe stick and a three different enclosures, two 3.2/G1 and one 3.2/G2. I also got a SanDisk Ultra Extreme Pro Whiz Bang NVMe external drive. They all seem to perform as advertised, and that disappoi…

1 GbE has to stop. 2.5 GbE would cost the manufacturer only $2 to $3 more.

As far as I know no Macs support 20 Gbps USB 3.x 2x2, so the Pro model will be limited to about the same 1000 MBps as the non-pro. Also the article states that the non-pro version is faster because of the upgrade “from USB 3.1 Gen 2 to USB 3.2 Gen …

If I were to buy a TB3 dock it would have to be one with faster than 1 GbE networking. So far the only one available (let me know if you find any other!) is the $299 OWC Thunderbolt 3 Pro Dock, which they got by buying Akitio and rebranding their Th…

The previous 27-inch iMac can also use 128 GB RAM, so that is not new. It is just that Apple did not offer to sell it with 4x 32 GB SO-DIMMs. You can buy 4x 32 GB DDR4 SO-DIMMs and install yourself, or have them installed by a third-party Mac seller…

Agreeing with the previous comments. $40/year???Also I didn’t know that EpocCam existed. Thanks @Djames4242! It sounds like a much better option. I will definitely check it out once I’m back to work from home after the summer holiday. If anyone has …

I agree with Dysamoria and Anime. This one is too expensive for the ports it offers, probably mostly due to the cost of the TB chipset. The only things in this dock that push the aggregated bandwidth towards needing Thunderbolt are the 10 Gbps USB p…

Thanks for the article! I've been following the eGPU scene quite a bit but have yet to make a purchase. Currently leaning towards the Razer Core X because it's widely available through regular retail channels also outside the US. An eGPU is a grea…

Very good! We need cheaper multi-gigabit solutions. This is about 20% cheaper than QNAP and TRENDnet so it's definitely improving! Plus Sonnet tends to have significantly better Mac support.Here are prices from the competition (today's prices from A…

I can see that some people may find docks with design that puts it flush against the laptop attractive, but I personally avoid them for these reasons: 1. It blocks both Thunderbolt ports, while not providing any Thunderbolt pass-through. This means …

Soli said: Pylons said: No changes to low tiers! Most importantly, it still costs the insulting figure of $200 to upgrade from 128 GB to 256 GB! That's $1600/TB! High-end SSDs cost $170-300/TB (for drives that are even faster than Appl…

Glad to see that Inkscape was mentioned. I'm using it every other month to layout illustrations for scientific publications, plus sometimes for designing prints for T-shirts in my spare time. I agree with what's written here. It does have a rather s…

Looking forward! Crossing fingers for models with more key travel and without Touch Bar, but I'm not holding my breath. Has anyone kept track in the past of how long time has elapsed from these database listings to actual product launches? (Yes, the…

Which is it? All of Apples iPhones (as in the title) or all iPhones for the US market? The article reads like it's the latter, but there's a huge difference.

I think I just found the reason for the confusion about the CPU models and cache numbers. It seems to be that Apple are using standard Intel models and not any special ones. It is just that Apple adds the amounts of L2 and L3 caches together (!). In…

Let’s just hope this Pro Workflow Group has been a vocal critic of the Touch Bar, so that we soon can get to choose MacBook Pros without it. I’d be very happy to buy one, but can’t accept that Apple is still trying to sell me the two year old 13-inc…
