    MBP Early 2015 13" SSD Upgrade, does it boost the device speed?

    Hi! I currently have an "old-but-powerful enough" MBP Retina 13" Early 2015. It has i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB original SSD, etc. I would like to upgrade it a bit, the first thing is the SSD, I guess. I now have 55GB of free space, so I do not have so much trouble with free space on this...

    Buying a flashed GPU or a discrete stock GPU to flank my 5770 to upgrade my cMP5.1?

    DIY Thunderbolt 3 SSD

    I made a video showing how to build your own fast external NVMe SSD: I am using this setup with a Macbook Pro and will continue to use it as a boot drive with the new Mac Mini. I am thinking that it is the best way to get a fast and large SSD without becoming poor at the same time. Sonnet...

    Hi all, i work on a pimped-up MacPro that came with "just" a non-EFI MSI 970 GTX and no standard videocard. Eventually i need to upgrade from El Capitan to Sierra because newer versions of some apps i use need at least 10.12 and i would need to know if default 10.12.16 OSX drivers will support...
