    Buying Advice - MacBook Pro M1 Pro

Got one locally for ~$1k, 100 battery cycles, seems to be in great condition. Willing to take the no AppleCare risk. Any advice here? Cursory...

    Used MB 2017: what to consider?

    I have one option to buy a used 2017 base model. m3, 8 GB, 256 GB. 2016 is in the vintage list now. Next year will be obsolete. So 2017 should have another year of parts and services from Apple. I am a bit concerned about battery and keyboard. So will ask and try. Anything else to be cautious...

    Other Unsealed boxes for iPhone 13?

    So it was mentioned, during the event, that there will be no plastic sealing the iPhone 13 box. Any speculation if Apple is going to ship unsealed boxes, or if they have another way to seal the boxes? I would not be comfortable if the new phones ship with no factory seal and the customer...

    Which used MacBook should she buy?

    I have a friend who's a girl. She wants to buy a computer, as she doesn't own one and is sick of her using her mom's outdated slow Windows laptop. She had the idea to buy a pixel book, which I promptly but politely shot down as ChromeOS is limited, not to mention the price tag. She also does not...

    iPhone X This seems like a great time to buy an X

    Checking Craigslist/Kijiji/Ebay prices for the iPhone X, it seems like this is a great opportunity to buy the phone at a big discount. Resale value of the X is tanking. I've never seen resale value of iPhone's drop this much, and it could be because of various things like the newer models...
