    LED Cinema Display and MacBook

    I have just bought a new macbook with one USBC power point, but I'd like to connect it to my rather old, but reliable LED 27" Cinema Screen, but it seems a minefield. Can anyone advise on an accessory that can connect it to my screen. Here are the leads Thanks

    $900 Mac Pro 2013 or ?

    I have a deal on getting a Mac Pro Late 2013 Quad Core with 16gb ram for $900, is this worth it? I mean I could go hackintosh and all but I would like my Apple Experience to work seemlessly. I do edit 4K and I know lots of computers struggle in that area in general (we use proxies and etc), but...

    MBP 2018 constantly in charger vs drain and then charge?

    I have my Macbook sitting on the office table where I use it daily. With my old MBA 2012 I had it plugged in the charger constantly because I always used it in that same spot anyway. However with my new MBP I want to take as good care of it as possible. Do you guys recommend having the cable...

    Most dirty keys on MacBook Pro keyboard

    Hello there Mac`s owners. I noticed that most dirty keys on my MacBook Pro`s keyboard is T and Y (look on the photo). I think the reason of this problem is active cooler system on Macs. Thus on MacBook without coolers there is no dirty keyboards. What do you think about it? Cheers and спасибо!

    MacBook, Dongle-dom & "Single port life"

    How is life with only 1 port? What are the restrictions with non-Thunderbolt 3 compatibility? I am presuming today there aren't many devices though this may change. Is the 5Gbps upper limit an issue, or is this just for "pro" use, i.e. multi-5k screens, plus TB3-native SSDs or eGPUs? Is there...

    I was really hoping Apple was going to update the 12" MacBook alongside the 13" MacBook Air. It's been 17 months since it was last updated.. 17 months with the same pricing.. it seems so wrong to buy it new today but it's the only option I'm left with besides finding one 2nd hand.
