    Anyone know the latest version of OS X this Mac can install?

    Hi there. I hope someone can help. Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have a Late 2008 iMac, which I have fished out the loft. Its horrendously slow (because of the HDD I reckon) I plan on giving it a clean and booting it off a external SSD to (hopefully) speed it up. Before being put in...

    Mac Office 365 Blurred Text

    I've just acquired a 21.5 inch 2017 iMac running Monterey. Quite an upgrade from my previous 2009 iMac; however, a big issue is that on the new iMac the text on Office 365 apps is blurry. Not what I was expecting at all. What's going on and what's the fix? Thank you

    Hypothetically speaking, could you gut an iMac G3 and put all modern hardware in it? New screen, new logic board, processor etc?

    Apologies if this is a question asked all the time on here. I'm aware this would be a pricey endeavor and you're better off just getting a new machine from Apple... but if someone had the expertise, expenses, etc to do this themselves, would it be possible? I'm a programmer and love the Y2K...

    What PPC Mac to Buy?

    So I'm now in an interesting spot: My mom has reclaimed her PowerMac G5 as a end table (irreparably damaging the MB and other components when she stripped the case out). This leaves me with a Thinkpad P51 and a MBP2020. I would like a PPC Mac for nostalgia purposes but also as a dedicated word...

    Fastest Enclosure for an NVMe SSD to a 2020 iMac TB3

    I can see that similar questions have been asked in the past... but not this one exactly. I have a 2020 iMac 27". Got it at an okay price and didn't realize the SSD was soldered until it was too late to return. It was very upsetting. So now, I'm trying to get the fastest external SSD set-up I...

    2015 iMac External SSD?

    Hello, I have started to notice that my 2015 iMac's 7200rpm HDD is slow compared to my other computers with an SSD. I was wondering what might be my options to try to make it faster?
