    MBP Early 2015 13" SSD Upgrade, does it boost the device speed?

    Hi! I currently have an "old-but-powerful enough" MBP Retina 13" Early 2015. It has i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB original SSD, etc. I would like to upgrade it a bit, the first thing is the SSD, I guess. I now have 55GB of free space, so I do not have so much trouble with free space on this...

    Base 14" Pro w/ monitor or base 16" for programming (Xcode)?

    I'm currently debating whether to get the base 14" or 16" MacBook Pro 2021. I was set on the 16" but am now thinking it would maybe be best to get a base 14" w/ a monitor, my question is, will 8 cores & 16GB in the base model be enough for programming on Xcode. Ideally I will want this laptop to...

    Is it possible to flash the 5,2 firmware onto a 4,1 MacBook?

    Hey, I have a 2008 4,1 black polycarbonate MacBook Core 2 Duo with 4gb of RAM and a 250gb SSD, and I wanted to ask if it’s possible to update the firmware to the 5,2 firmware, so it’s possible to install El Capitan on it. Would this even be possible? I would thank for every answer :3

    Pikify trouble :/

    So, I got a black MacBook 2,1 , It’s a nice laptop, nicer with 4 gigs of ram. Lion was disappointing, so I downloaded Pikify and put El Capitan on it, but that’s when this happened: El Capitan could not be installed: El Capitan is already installed. I tried rebooting and the same thing happened...

    Could MagSafe 4.0 include support for data?

    While I like the option for a fast charge and MagSafe's return, I feel that Apple missed the mark with MagSafe 3.0 by not including some basic data transfer options over MagSafe. Does anyone think that this could come at some point in the future, or does this not feel like a feature that would...

    Poll: How long will it take Apple to add FaceID to Mac notebooks?

    It seems certain that FaceID will come to desktop Macs first, but considering the notch is here, how long do you think it will take for Apple's notebooks to get FaceID?
