    13" MBP advice iris 640vs650 video editing?

    I've struggled to find good benchmark comparisons specifically on how the different models perform in video editing tasks? A friend is buying a new mac laptop, wants 13" and the only demanding workload will be some video editing. We're not talking any pro use, more like blogger casual use. It...

    One Thunderbolt / USB-C 4k/5k - two systems?

    I would like to have one 2016 macbook pro and one desktop PC connected to the same thunderbolt or USB-C monitor and then be able to switch as seamlessly as possible between the two systems.

    Why does text look better in OS X than win10?

    I figured mac users would be more likely to understand/answer this issue. When browsing the internet using Chrome in Windows vs Mac, the text looks way better on the mac for some reason. The Windows text is far less legible and just.. not as smooth. Why and how do i fix it? Anyone else...

    AirPlay lag issue

    AirPlay from various iPhone4, 5 and 4s and iPads works flawlessly in 720p over wifi to our ATV3. Desktop mirroring on the other hand, from my Macbook air lags significantly. Video/audio is choppy etc. I've tried mirroring whole desktop or only mirroring the video by playing it in itunes...

    Mountain Lion - Macbook Air crashes randomly?

    I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this as I've never had problems like these with OS X. I get random freezes - can't move mouse, capslock doesn't work, no response. Only option is hard reboot. Sometimes I get grayscreen with the error. I'm running Skype, Vmware and Windows, Preview...

    Does Apple TV Airplay output bad audio quality?

    Plugging my Swans M200 MKII speakers directly via headphone jack sounds way better. To make it work wirelessly I've got apple tv connected via optical to a FiiO D3 that converts optical to stereo, RCA? red/white cable and that to speakers. With Airplay the amount of bass increases and I...

    Mac users, how's your Windows 7 experience?

    I'd like to hear from people who use both OS X and Windows 7, not one or the other. I want people who really like OS X (Since i really like it...) to give feedback on Win 7 based on day to day using experience. Not a debate or anything else really. Switching from XP to OS X was a huge upgrade...

    Thunderbolt GPU's?

    So will, either a 3rd party or apple, make externally hosted GPU's connected via Thunderbolt? We saw that sony laptop with a GPU dock, fx. Very interesting concept, my Macbook air does very well as a desktop with an external screen connected, with a decent gnu added it'd even take care of my...

    So I bought a new Air and per standard in China they unpacked in the store, booted up and showed me that all hardware etc was legit and it's working before leaving the store (trust me it's necessary). Anyway they ran setup assistant for me and basically named my computer/user, i've changed it...

    Local App Store issue

    I bank with HSBC in Hong Kong and they've got an iPhone app which I can "simply download from the Hong Kong app store", However my App store is Swedish and I can't change it to HK, because I lack payment method for anything but Sweden. (Fuck you Apple). The fact that I've got a Chinese iPhone...

    Dock to the right = superior for laptops

    Try it, keeping the dock to the right is just... way better. Tried left first but doesn't work as well because web text is to the left usually, so feels cluttered. When at bottom auto-hide is a must with the limited vertical real estate on a laptop, but quite annoying if you're often in...

    Non-native res gaming on 27" iMac? Best iMac for games?

    So basically I need a desktop, can't be fucked with a hackintosh, don't want windows, don't have any existing screen/mouse/kb etc and all the iMacs are powerful enough for my non-gaming needs with the i5's and RAM you can add.. It seems obvious that the 27" is the best gaming choice, as Anand...

    Airport Airdisk and torrent uploads?

    So I can download torrents to my external drive connected via my apple airport extreme just fine, however I can't upload - because there isn't permission. Now if I share the disk over WAN, it works just fine... naturally. My concern is, how secure is that... is my entire media library just...

    SandyBridge MBAir ?

    Clearly SandyBridge is perfect for the Air... I'd love one. I would have bought an Air already, if it wasn't for the fact that my 4 year old MBP actually has the same C2D CPU... And upgrading just for battery and smaller size.. screen.. neh... I want a few more years of pow in there, right...

    Gaming Mac - wait for iMac update or go hackintosh?

    I don't really play games, except for Blizzard's games. WoW, SC2 and Diablo 3 once that hits. I'm in the market for a Mac desktop and will likely hang on to it for 3-4-5 years (I've had my current macbook pro for 4). I want a 27" iMac but can't get over the fact that you get such a shitty...

    Dual HDD's in MacbookPro - SSD+HDD or 2x Momentus XT?

    Hey, So I'm replacing the optical drive in my Macbook Pro with a second HDD (Who uses DVD's anyway?!) and am wondering what you'd think the best way to go is.. Should I either get a 80gb intel x25-m for system/application disk + a 750GB 2nd HDD, a low-energy silent 5400 RPM or so, Or...
