    iPad Pro Inateck 9 in 1 Multiport USB-C Hub review.

    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...

    Pro 2015 (13") or Air 2018?

    I'm looking for a reliable Macbook that I could use for coding and considering the keyboard issue I'm scared to buy an expensive Macbook Pro because I'm not a rich guy and I value my money, so I know I'll be angry if I experience those keyboard issues everyone talks about. So the choice has...

    So I want to upgrade my Mac Pro 5,1 that has been using the same Radeon HD 5870 for 8-9 years now since the fan seems to be making a strange noise. I was searching on the boards and I saw the Sapphire Mac edition of the Radeon HD 7950 Mac edition. This card seems to be sold out everywhere. I...

All I’ve found is apples keyboard folio and some ugly “rugged” style case. I don’t want a keyboard I don’t want Uber protection. Just something nice...

I'm an industrial design geek and just love how the Mac Pro looks and is constructed. So, I'm considering buying one. I don't have a specific use case...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11-inch charges faster with 29W/30W adapter than 87W

    Hello! I conducted tests, and it seem like the optimal charger for the 11-inch iPad Pro is the 29W. The 87W outputs less wattage than the 29W, and I suspect that it's because only the 29W charger has the right combination of voltage/amps to achieve the max power the iPad Pro can take. Can...
