    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...

    What is this problem related?

    My Mid 2010 Mac pro started giving problems, it restarts automatically and I get this error. Does this mean my CPU processor is bad? Or is it the GPU? Thanks Anonymous UUID: 7AB2C231-0E27-C3E7-E2D4-D8EDDB460112 Tue Jun 13 13:58:33 2017 *** Panic Report *** Machine-check capabilities...

    MacBook battery differences

    Is there really that much of a difference between battery life on the MacBook Pro vs MacBook Pro with touch bar. I also want to get the i7 processor on the non-touchbar to boost performance. Will I see a notable battery difference between the touch bar and non touch bar models.

    So...we only have Kaby Lake and Sky Lake?

    If we want the KabyLake installed on the new rMBR, then we have to wait until the Q1 of 2017? If Apple releases the new rMBR this Oct. or Nov. we will have a non-up-to-date CPU, right? :(
