    I may be switching to a Windows PC, any advice?

    Hi all. I am considering selling my MacBook Pro and building my own gaming/workstation PC. My rationale is that my MacBook Pro sits docked for the majority of the time and so I might as well switch to a desktop. The Mac mini and iMac could fit my needs but it is a fact that I can build a more...

    Use the iPad as a third monitor

    I like the new sidecar feature for Macbooks and iPads. If I typically use a second monitor at home connected via display port can I then use a iPad as a third monitor? Or does sidecar only work with just the laptop and the iPad and no additional monitors?

    Best Time to Upgrade Your Macbook Pro. 1, 2, 3 years?

    Hey guys, It seems that I upgrade my Macbook Pro every 3 years. However, as I'm trying to sell my older 2016 Macbook Pro it seems that it has devalued alot. ~$2300 to maybe 1400 on high end if I'm lucky or 1300. I'm wondering if it makes better sense to upgrade your Macbook Pro EVERY YEAR...
