    2016 or 2017 MBP

    I purchased a 2016 MBP yesterday at Fry's Electronics on sale for $1000 but wondering if it's worth the extra few hundred dollars to return/exchange for the 2017. Coming off a 2008 Pro even the '16 is a giant upgrade but for only $300 is it worth the 2017? Any advice is much appreciated.

    How would you connect a 4K monitor and a 1080 HDMI output only monitor to the current 13 inch no touch bar MBP? The 4K monitor is a DELL P2715Q.

    2016 MBP 15" Bluetooth

    Since getting my 15" MBP I've noticed sporadic bluetooth dropouts and I think it occurs more often with the # of devices connected. For instance my Magic 2 Keyboard will randomly get stuck typing or my Magic 2 TrackPad will stop responding and my AirPods can't stay connected for more than a few...

    USB C on New Macs?

    I asked this in my 2016 MacBook Pro thread, but no answers. So I'll try here: USB C- Since owning a new 2016 MacBook Pro (see sig), I've ordered two different sets of USB A to USB C cables from Amazon (Link 1, Link 2). Neither one of them will power an external portable HD which has a USB A...

    My late-2011 MBP (1TB drive/16GB ram/2.4ghz) finally died on me last month and now I'm looking at a replacement.

    New Trackpad Issues - Can't Drag? Can't Click?

    There is something very frustrating about this new trackpad. I already turned off the "look up" feature because it was driving me nuts. Now, there are times when I literally can't click on things and click/drag (enlarging a window, etc.) is often impossible. I could very well be doing something...
