Apple has trouble rolling out timely updates of multiple existing products, let alone innovate. The past few years have been very disappointing.

I wouldn't say robbing me, but Apple has consistently made decisions that make it much more expensive to own their products. For example, the refurbished 15" mid-2012 MBP with the high density screen (1680 x 1050) I'm typing this on cost me C$1,599.…

I'm typing this on a 6-year-old MBP. A few years ago I lost a key and replacing it was a five-minute process at the local Mac service provider. Glad to see Apple's making progress on the reliability of their keyboards. /s

You mention that Pixelmator Pro uses Metal 2 in your review, but might also mention that if the graphics card in your computer doesn't support Metal 2, and if you aren't running High Sierra (which you do mention), you won't be able to run Pixelmator…

Let's see. We'll slow the upgrade cycle so its chip is a couple of generations behind, price it higher than a new full-sized iPad, and then kill it because it doesn't sell well. My Gen 2 mini is the newest Apple product I have. They're all approachi…

'Investing aggressively' more like like passive-aggressively.

"We have great desktops in our roadmap." Cook's starting to sound like The Donald.

"Sept. 7 is the iPhone's stage." Anyone remember the last time the MacBook Pro had the stage? I don't which is probably why I'm typing this on a 2011 MBP.

I'm surprised that they raised prices again in Canada, as the Canadian dollar has come back against the US dollar since they last raised prices. Seeing the US price cut on some products hurt, too. Anyhow, I'll stick with my early 2011 MBP with a hi…

I'm on my 3rd logic board. The first one failed after 2.5 years, the second one after 6 months (probably because they used an old board as a replacement. Fortunately they were both replaced under AppleCare. However, I'm now without AppleCare or a re…

I'm on my 3rd logic board and now out of Apple Care. The Apple "genius" claimed they'd used a new logic board (implying that the replacement done by the authorized service centre wasn't new). I'm hoping it lasts as long as the original, which would …

Took my 2011 MBPIn to the Apple Store for its second logic board in 6 months. Not sure what I'll do when my Apple Care runs out in April. I've also had to replace the power cord twice - and I'm very careful with my gear.

Hard drives are cheap compared to the amount of time it takes to re-create even one document, so I have two external drives at work - one Time Machine the other a SuperDuper clone. I have the same at home. Time Machine is great if I delete a documen…

The rumoured new mini sounds good. Since my wife dropped her Pismo, we've been considering how to replace it. The lack of firewire on the new Macbook rules it out. If it had firewire I'd consider giving her my G4 PowerBook. (I realize we could go w…

If you look at the benchmarks for the new MacBooks compared with the MacBook Pros, with the exception of games (helped by the discrete video card in the MBP) and screen size, there's little to choose between the two. Apple's reasoning for droppi…
