    Refurb iMac Pro or high end 2019 iMac?

    I’ve waited for the the 2019 iMacs, and planned on going for an i9 config with the 1TB SSD but realized I was in the mid to upper $3Ks very quickly. I know the base iMac Pro has some better standard design features (cooling, ports, video card, 10g Ethernet... even the FaceTime camera is 1080p...

    iPad 2019 iPad Air Does NOT Support USB 3.0

    USB 3 speeds are supported only on iPad Pro. I was hoping this statement was not true, because it's 2019 and this a new iPad but looks like it is. I chatted with Apple Support and they could not confirm that the latest iPad Air supports USB 3. It was surprising that they did not have technical...

    Hey folks. I'm upgrading from a 2009 MBP that I hardly use anymore because it's gotten quite slow (my own negligence) and has gone through way too many battery cycles.

    For those with a new iPad Pro with USB-C connectivity and are looking for some added connectivity, this USB-C multiport hub may be something of a godsend. This is a simple product in principle, a short USB-C cable to a compact Hub offering up 2 USB-C, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, SD/micro SD...
