    Cooling solutions for the Mac minis?

    I am looking at purchasing a used Mac Mini that can run the latest (Mojave) as my next computer, but I have heard and seen online that the aluminium unibody Mac minis all have an issue with overheating.

    Intersted in Classic Mac Pro

    This is probably sort of a weird one... I have always loved the design of the classic Mac Pro and have wanted one for a while because of that. I'm an industrial design geek and just love how the Mac Pro looks and is constructed. So, I'm considering buying one. I don't have a specific use case...

    Can I upgrade MacBook Air with a newer motherboard?

    I have a 2013 Macbook Air 13" (i5, 4GB). The MacBook Air's design seems to have stayed pretty much the same from 2012-2017, so I was wondering if there was anything preventing me from purchasing a fully-specced 2017 motherboard off of eBay with all the components on it and replacing the current...

    Do I need anti-virus on my Mac?

    So, I know this may be a weird question but I've been researching this subject and opinions vary... I know that bad software sneaks in the App Store, and I've read that Mac viruses do exist.
