    Did you order anything today?

    I ordered a new iPad Pro 10" 128GB in Space Grey. I used to have the 12.9 iPad Pro but found it too big. I already have a 15" Mac Book Pro 2018 TB so I don't need another big device to carry. I also want to use the iPad with my Mavic Pro 2... If it fits... Let me know what/if you ordered today...

    New Mac mini is the new Mac Pro

    Apple showcased (in today's keynote) several instances of Mac minis being stacked for improved performance and intense workloads.

    Maybe a silly question but I ve read at some point the display mirroring beetween imacs and minis, for example, were disable recently - possibly due OSX or imac configuration specs. I see the new 6 core mini (at 1099) as a good upgrading option pairing with my 2012 27" imac screen. Does the...

    Recommendations for light video edditing

    Hi all, I was really hoping for an iMac update today, but it was not to be. That said, what do you all think would be a good option for light (maybe occasionally mid) video editing? (the iMac pro is unfortunately out of my range) would the current iMac still be option? or should definitely I...

    Question about APFS on a freshly converted drive

    tl;dr Disk Utility info on my main disk says 'Bootable: No'. Is that a problem? Is it a problem I can fix? So I upgraded my Mac Mini to a 1TB SSD, like so many people do. Because the Mini was basically dead when I did the upgrade (the fusion drive had been slowly failing for weeks), the only...
