    Mac Book Pro - Sound Check

    Hi there. I recently upgraded my 2012, 13-inch MBP. I installed a 1TB Samsung SSD and 16GB of ram. My machine is much faster and works just fine. My only concern is probably a minor one.

    Future proofing your MacBook Pro?

    So a couple of things to start. I already purchased my MBP and an external monitor so this is more an academic discussion, for me, perhaps not for others that are still in the process of deciding which options to click when ordering their new 2018 MBP. I just enjoy the banter. Second, I know...
