    Is the 2016 MBP base model worth it?

    will it be powerful enough for serious music production over the 15 inch? Hoping it lasts me 4/5 years, I'll be using logic protools etc

    New MBP, not in store?

    Certainly I couldn't any evidence of them in the Solihull store. What I did see was blank spaces where I assume the 11" MBA used to be. It appears to be a consistent feature of every new release - no demo stock. Seems we have to rely on reviews as the retail experience is becoming a joke.

    I5 vs i7

    so I really wanna get the 13inch new MBP, I'll be using this for music production etc. The only way I can really afford it, is by upgrading one thing RAM from 8 - 16, or CPU from i5 - i7! I'll be running logic, pro tools etc. Can someone recommend me the best thing to upgrade:) thanks

    What's up with the gargantuan Touchpad?

    The touchpad on my 13" is already huge, but why take up double the space? So the user has no handrests anymore? I don't get it.

    Question about WHEN to buy a MacBook Pro...

    With the RUMORED announcement of the new MacBook Pro looming... For someone like me who doesn't care about the latest/greatest, does Apple usually drop the prices on their PREVIOUS model (say the 2015 models) once the newest model comes out? That is a typical business practice, however, Apple...

    Need help deciding which computer to choose

    I currently have a 2011 MBP and am looking to upgrade. A salesperson at BestBuy told me the other day that an 8gb ram MBP is essentially the same in terms of a 16gb PC laptop because of OS and program sizes. And i'm not sure how accurate that statement is. I am considering going away from a...

    Sierra Upgrade eats available SSD space on mid-2010 MBP

    I have a mid-2010 MBP that I upgraded with a 128gb SSD in the normal bay, and a 1tb HDD in the superdrive bay. I use the SSD for the OS and symlinked most of the user files to an HDD in the superdrive bay (thus keeping the minimal amount of information on the SSD). Since upgrading to Sierra I...
