    GPU performance comparison 2013-current?

    I've been searching Google for some benchmarks for GPU performance of MPBs between 2013 - current, and I can't seem to find anything. Just curious if anyone here can find a link. Just trying to determine (or justify) a new MBP. I'm currently on a late 2013 which is, in all honesty, still...

    My boyfriend's computer runs the Adobe slowly :(

    These are the specs of his iMac. He's interested in upgrading certain aspects of his computer so that it can run Photoshop & Lightroom much faster. We have the opportunity to snag some Macbook Pro's below. Are any of these going to be better than what he has now? If not, what should/can we...

    Best SD card to expand memory?

    I have a Macbook Air 13'' with a 128GB SSD. I need to save up some memory for the daily works. I realize that moving the iTunes Library (~/Music/iTunes) to an external drive would be a nice way to save up more or less 20 GB... I was thinking about buying a micro SD card/SD card. This one has to...

    watchOS 4 on first gen Watch

    Hi all, after iOS 5 made my original iPad grind to a near-useless halt and iOS 9 did the same to my iPhone 4S, I’ve been doubting on wether or not to install WatchOS 4 on my first generation Apple Watch later this year.

    Performance when hooking Macbook pro 13" 2015 up to 4k monitors

    By this time, the performance of the macbook pro has probably been debated quite a lot. But i think it deserves more of a beating, when it comes to performance when hooked up to an external monitor - especially those of higher resolutions. I have always been quite pleased with the performance...

    iPhone SE much slower in 3D than 6s? Thought it was the same CPU?
