    Should I keep my Late 2013 iMac or replace it by a new monitor for my 2016 MBP?

    Hi guys, I currently own a 2016 15" MBP TB (with the basic graphic card and processor) since January and so far, I'm really happy with it. I spent 6 months in New Zealand for a student exchange and that's actually why I bought my laptop: because I was on travel. About 2 years ago, I bought a...

    Imac 2017 Speed of Internal SSD vs. Thunderbolt 3/USB 3.1

    I believe I've read or heard that the internal SSD's in the new iMacs are several times faster than what you can get from an external SSD. Does anyone have any numbers on this? I'm asking since Apple's prices for SSD's are, if not exorbitant, at least rather expensive. On the other hand...

    Why so excited about eGPU when performance drop on TB3 may be over 30%

    Over the week on this forum I noticed couple times people saying that for some there's no need to get the iMac with best GPU, that better get the lowest and in the future, if needed, get external Thunderbolt 3 GPU. I suspected there may be performance drop but first google result with bunch of...

    Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DVI 1080p 120HZ for Macbook Pro (2016)

    How would one connect Acer HN27H monitor with only Dual DVI input at 1080p (1920x1080) to Macbook Pro 2016 through USB C (Thunderbolt 3) so it would work at 120HZ, what kind of magic trickery is needed? After a day of searching, I could not find any adapter that is higher than 60HZ.

    MBP 2016 TB/USB-C ports are the blessing, IMO.

    I hear all this flak about the MBP 2016 not having any regular ports and how this is a fail. On the contrary, I feel this is the best thing for the MBP and I am thankful to apple for making this bold change, not just for the future, but for now. It has already made my cable management and dongle...

    New MBP: Which Externals HDs WORK?

    Not a lot of enclosure options yet, that I can see. And now we're learning that SOME versions won't work with the new MBP. I'm going from an older MacPro 2008, so I'm gonna need REALLY to rethink my externals… Any suggestions? I'll buy anything but LaCie. Thx!
