    I love the 12" MacBook. I know the keyboard sucks. But I really love the rest (and don't actually mind the keyboard all that much). I have a 2017 base model that I got used, but was thinking of upgrading to the max spec model (i7, 16gb ram). My question is - how much faster would this max...

    This is a somewhat different sort of question than the usual.... My car is making a noise. I can't quite track down where it's coming from, and passengers disagree about where it sounds like it's originating from--even whether it's in the front or the back. So I thought I could hook up at...
