    2017 MBP: Fan starts running when I play a YouTube video

    I have the new base-level 2017 MacBook Pro 13" (non-****bar). Very often, the fan starts running jstu because I'm playing a simple 720p YouTube video. Even more so when I play it at 1080p so I stopped doing that. The MacBook itself does not get hot, and Activity Monitor does not show any high...

I have other libraries I could probably offload onto the...

    Was wondering if anyone could share their experience with video editing on Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) on their 2017 Base 27" iMac with Radeon Pro 570. Was concerned if there would be any noticeable issues/lag with prolonged/advanced video editing on the base machine in FCPX. I'd imagine that video...

    So as per Geekbench, 15w i5 is faster than 28w i5?

    The nTB 15w 2.3 with boost to 3.6 (I5-7360U) is faster than the TB 28w i5 with 3.1 with boost to 3.5 (I5-7267U) Really? Sounds good to me as I have zero interest in that touch bar, but a little hard to believe. I tend to trust them for the most part though. They seem to be pretty accurate...
