    Apple Watch Auto Unlock Questions [MERGED]

    Can anybody confirm if Auto Unlock does or does not work on the Mid 2012 rMBP? I've seen that it doesn't work on a Late 2012 Mac mini, but the rMBP was a bit ahead of its time in connectivity and I imagine Apple isn't dotting the i and crossing the t on the beta docs. Figure if there is one...

    rMBP lowering the resolution to help battery life/less CPU usage?

    Hi! I'm running on a late 2014 Retina MacBook Pro 13" which is a 2560x1600 display (I think). When you go into System Preferences on the display options the "Default for Display" is said to "look like 1280x800". I have QuickRes which is a piece of software that lets you change your resolution...

    I'm very close to clicking "begin checkout" on B&H for the rMBP 8gb/128gb, but two things are holding me back: next week's event (although, I don't mind having an older model of what will possibly be released since I don't use my MBP for gaming, photo/video editing, etc. - an older...
