    Graphic Design/Illustration + Upgrade Macbook Pro

    I need to upgrade my computer and I was wondering which Macbook Pro was best? Do I need the dual graphic cards? I'd be working primarily in Photoshop and using a Cintiq 16 tablet. I'm starting my own business so I'm hoping to get professional-looking quality. Thank you!

    MacBook Pro 2015 won’t charge after possible surge

    Long story short my MacBook charger broke so I took it apart and tried to resplice the wires. Plugged it into the MacBook and now the MacBook won’t charge.

    Did anyone order the 16" MBP yet? I ordered mine with 32 GB RAM on Friday and today the status changed to preparing to ship. Any idea when can I expect it? The estimated time on the site shows December 1st week.
