I own a late-2009 unibody MC207LL/A Macbook that I want to upgrade in the following ways: Boost the RAM from 4GB to 8GB Swap out the 256GB HDD it came with for a 500GB HDD (or possibly an SSD later on) Upgrade the operating system from Mac OS 10.6 to Windows 10 Replace the bottom cover with a...

Hello all, I recently bought a 500 GB Samsung 860 EVO 2.5” form factor SSD to swap it out with the primary HDD in a mid 2011 21.5” iMac. Problem is, the computer doesn’t boot (shows a prohibitory sign) whenever the 860 is inside the chassis and connected to the motherboard through SATA, however...

I’m looking to swap my current iMac (late 2014) with a brand new one. There’s been a lot of updates and improvements since I got mine, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a new one. But since the last refresh was in March 2019, it doesn’t seem like the right time to invest (yet), so I was hoping...

So, this topic is often discussed. But, I’m curious on your thoughts. I currently have a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5”. It works great - no issues. I’d like a bigger screen. Should I bite the bullet and purchase the 2018 12.9” now or should I wait until they release an upgraded version? The MacRumors...

Hello! A few years ago I bought an early 09 iMac with the GT130 GPU and 3.06 Penryn CPU. I gave it to my mother because she needed something to watch netflix, hulu, and youtube on. It works... Well it works... most of the time. It has symptoms of a bad GPU, where the screen distorts or just...

It shames me to say it, but this is the rate of ‘innovation’ we’ve been seeing at Apple. It’s an absolute embarrassment that I shelled out another $1500 for the 11 Pro Max after 12 months of shelling out the same for the XS Max. I managed to sell my XS MAX on eBay for $900, so I rationalized the...
