    Why won't Apple redesign the iMac!?

    It blows my mind that apple refuses to come out with a redesign for the iMac. The disgusting thick bezels and archaic internals with the single fan, non all flash architecture, 5400 HD options, awful pixilating front facing camera etc etc. The iMac is my favorite computer but I refuse to buy...

    iMac (Late 2015) Network speed issue

    I have gigabit internet service with comcast. I had a tech come out last month, and showed him that I was only pulling around 600-650 Mbps on speediest sites (dslreports, xfinity speed test, etc). I hard wired my iMAC into my DOCIS 3.1 modem for these results. Today I had a tech come out...

    Hello, I was using my iMac as usual today - did some work in Mac OS X, then booted through bootcamp to Windows and played some PUBG.

    Premier Pro 2019 slow export

    I just recently got around to updating premier pro cc to the newest 2019 version. I converted an old file like I usually do with a new version and everything was ok (also tried a completely new project built in the 2019 version.) It all seemed a little laggy, but I didn’t think much of it at...

    Hi folks! I recently replaced my 2011 iMac's failing internal hard drive with a nice, spacious 4TB chonker, and decided I could spare the room for a Windows partition again — it's been a few years, and there are a few Windows-only games I wouldn't mind trying to play again. Thing is, my iMac...
