    Instant Filevault encryption/decryption on 2018 MBP

    I noticed my new 2018 MBP turned on Filevault by default. Out of curiosity, I turned it off and on again. Unlike previous experience, both processes were instant, no need to wait hours. I'm a bit doubtful on whether Filevault is actually turned on given zero encryption time? Does the instant...

    Thermal design waste of time, until 2019!

    I guess Apple won't spend a whole lot of R&D on thermal issues for the 2018, being it's the last model before we see the 10nm CPU! Where we all know there will be a huge redesign for lots of new components, right? Edit - why would Apple spend any time, any, when all new changes are a comin in 2019!

    13" or 15" 2018 MBP

    I’ve been considering upgrading from my mid-2012 MacBook air for quite some time, and I think the new pros may have convinced me to finally pull the trigger. I could use some advice trying to decide between the 13” and the 15” models. If I went with the 13”, I would get the 2.3GHz i5 with 16GB...

    Just bought 2017 13" MBP with touchbar, should I return and pay +500 for 2018?

    I got 256gb 8gb ram w/ touch bar, and can return...but is it worth paying 500 extra for two cores and a few others minor tweaks?

    Is 2018 13inch Macbook Pro worth the wait?

    I currently own a 13 inch Macbook Air. Its not the lastest one, but I bought about 4 years ago. I want to upgrade to a Pro because I am a video editor, and also I might be shooting 4k. After effects can get really slow on my laptop because I do more intensive editing so I’m hoping to get a...
