I wouldn't assume Apple sees it as strictly Intel vs. ARM for Macs. If all Macs were equipped with an ARM AP for Touch ID/Secure Element/Continuity/etc. without having to wake up all the Intel stuff, I could see some benefits. That you'd have those …

10.9.3 is likely what Apple will be imaging newly built systems with, and that requires a fair amount of lead time. If you buy a new Mac(book) Pro with a 4K display, they'll need to work together out of the box well enough without having to run Soft…

Quote: Claims of a chip partnership between Apple and TSMC date back to 2012, and have been incorrectly linked to both the A6X and A7 processors, both of which were actually manufactured by Samsung in Austin, Tex. Glad we saved 2 bytes by not us…

The RAM is replaceable. In fact, even if you get the non-server version you can add a 2nd hard drive later with this kit.

Darn glad to have gotten the 2011 mini with AMD graphics last year. The current 15" MBP may be their last portable machine with discrete graphics.

Yikes, is the uniformity of these new retina panels really as bad as in the picture? There's a clear red->green shift from top to bottom. Approximately 50% of the 10 or so Cinema/Thunderbolt displays I've used have similar issues (either vertic…

This is classic Apple (actually, classic Tim Cook since this is more of a supply chain issue). Apple knows they will sell many more 13" retina MBPs than 15" (they did pre-retina, and they will post-retina). So roll the 15" out first, let it …

And they were doing so well up until the "Macpro" part. They did get the first four words correct, though. Great Job!
