  • How to get started with Apple Music, and squeeze much more out of your subscription

    One VERY IMPORTANT THING you failed to mention regarding Apple Music subscriptions is that it defaults to subscribing you to a monthly subscription at $9.99/mo, but you can go into your iCloud account and change Apple Music to an annual subscription of $99.99, which ends up giving you two free months compared to the monthly subscription.  For someone like me who ONLY subscribes to Apple Music, and will continue to do so for years, it makes financial sense.

    Now something that I want to share, go and get the iTunes gift card from Costco. I bought 100$ cards for 80$ when they had some sort of deals going on. so onto more savings....

    I have been desperately waiting for Mac mini update for years and if Ming is correct, I can't be happier to upgrade my music server.

    I'd like 32GB of RAM, but I'll still go for it even if it's only 16, as I'm just about read to retire the non-retina 2012 MBP I've been on for 6 years. A good SSD breathed new life into it, and it has no problems, but I'm ready to upgrade. 15" for me, I always find 13" to be just a tad too small.
    I hear you always had a 17" then it became a 15" as my carry around non work Mac.  Just got a 13" MBP (dirt cheap from B&H) with Touch bar and am actually loving it as long as I always go full screen, that said I couldn't work on it.   i use three 27" for that on a Mac Pro.
    I am still on early 2009 17" MBP and High Sierra is running just fine on it. Obviously upgraded to 1TB SSD with max RAM.But it looks like with Mojave is on its way, it is time for an upgrade, and 10 years is reasonably good length of time MacBook Pro to last and still running fine. I am still planning to keep it as a backup. I love my 2011 11" MBA, which serves me very well anywhere outside my home. Waiting for new Mac Pro to come out so I could decide between iMac Pro vs Mac Pro.
