    Would you buy a MacBook Pro for young child or teenager?

    Came across an article on sixcolors.com from Jason Snell about purchasing a Mac for a student. Now, obvious exceptions include family where money is no exception and obviously know you have a genius and you want to give them the best tools to learn. Taking into consideration, a MacBook Pro is...

    Mac Mini HTPC alternatives?

    Hi all, haven't visited MacRumors in a while, and I just saw the thread "So, No Mini" headline and screamed. Okay, it was a very disappointed muffled shriek. I still feel queasy. As it happens, I've recently been looking at the Apple Store website, B&H, etc. at Mac Minis for my parents. I had...

    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...
