    Is an external monitor going to put extra strain on my older MacBook's GPU? (no gaming)

    It's an older (2010) 15" MacBook Pro I still own which keeps astounding me on how excellent it still runs after all these years, (I am not a gamer though). The only problem is it's manifesting some GPU glitches sometimes, like when opening some big sized PNG images on Preview (not always...

    Macintosh Plus with connection to an external monitor

    I have a 1986 Mac Plus M0001A. I was one of a few Graphic Designers to use a Mac Plus in NYC to produce my work on a Mac Pus. At the time the screen was to small to do any meaningful work (in Pagemaker), so I had a company wire it to connect to a 21" B/W monitor. I have read that the Mac Plus...

    Since the first 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display was released in 2014, Apple discontinued Target Display Mode for those models going forward. This was due to various technical limitations that were never overcome -- until today (potentially), with the release of the updated iMac 5K with the...
