    MacBook Pro model suggestions

    In the market for a MBP, just had a few questions: Is the new-style keyboard really that bad? If not, I guess I'll wait and see if anything is announced at WWDC. If it really is terrible, which model is the most recent without the butterfly keyboard? Am I right in thinking the 2015 models are...

    Mac Book, and Final Cut. Advice wanted.

    So, I've been a Mac user for a long time. I mean, I use PC as well, but for video editing, Mac is my home-boi. Recently, I've wanted to upgrade my kit.

    Anybody got experience in UK/Irish law?

    I've got a 27" late 2015 imac, originally purchased through very.co.uk in April 2016. This imac had a number of faults and clocked up six trips to the apple store with a recurring hardware fault. At this point I should probably point out I'm a photographer and the imac is crucial for work. I was...

    Advice for seeking a 2012 5,1

    I've been looking around for a 2012 Pro tower to replace/supplement the early 2008 Pro that has been my production machine since I bought it new.

    Recommendation for HomeKit compatible sound bar

    I am on the hunt for an all-in-one Bluetooth and HomeKit compatible speaker or soundbar. As it looks right now, the Homepod will not have aux or audio input (though if they added just an aux in line I would be estatic), so I am not convinced that I will be able to play my TV sound over it, but I...
