Help! rMBP (2015) Grinding Noise?
Help! My rMBP (which, by the way, the warranty just ran out a week ago. Bummer.) is making a grinding noise. The noise doesn't happen often, and it only lasts for a second or two and then stops and then I don't hear the fan at all. It's happened twice since last night. I'm very worried about it...- heyyoethan

Adobe CS and Retina
Does anyone have Adobe CS 6 and a Retina iMac? CS 6 was the last one you could get without going to the subscription model. I have CS 5.5 and it is not pleasant. From my limited testing, the main programs work fine, but the UI is really bad. Everything is pixelated. But, the worst part is your... -

To Retina or Not to Retina
Based on my recent posts, I'm starting to broaden my view on units. From a MacBook, to possibly an iMac (I've always been more of a Desktop user). The question now, is an iMac non-Retina as good as a Retina unit? And, more to the point, for us that are use to everyday monitors, without Retina... -
Is the retina display easier on the eyes?
A main factor in trying to decide between Macbook Air and the new Macbook is the retina display on the latter, which everybody raves about. I've never owned a retina Macbook, and my question is whether it is easier on the eyes when you're reading. That alone would make me choose the Macbook. -
