The holiday season is right around the corner, which means you’re gonna have to start picking out gifts soon. If you’re shopping for someone special and really want to wow them, we have an idea:

Get them a MacBook Pro.

Is that going too hard? Nope. You can snag a good-as-new 13-inch MacBook Pro refurb with a Touch Bar for $1,349 and get free shipping. And listen: No one said you can’t gift it to yourself.

The PCMag Shop is killin’ it with MacBook Pro deals lately — Apple seems to be trying to clear house, possibly to make room for something new. We covered a similar refurb deal two weeks ago, and though you’re not saving quite as much here, $150 off and free shipping is still great. Read more…

At today’s big event, Apple updated its “coming this fall” release of its latest operating system, macOS Mojave, and announced its official drop date: September 24, 2018.

First announced at the 2018 Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this year, the latest Apple operating system will be bringing some cool new features to Mac laptops and desktops. And we know they’re cool because developers have been playing with the beta versions of Mojave, which will officially be macOS version 10.14, since June of this year.

Perhaps one of the most anticipated features of macOS Mojave is dark mode. It seems like every application is getting a dark mode these days and the newest macOS is no exception. Dark mode will be able to turn everything from menu bars to app windows, well, darker, which some users find easier on the eyes. Read more…

Apple Blackmagic Egpu Graphics Card Macbook Pro Reviews

Yes, you can boost your Mac with Blackmagic’s external GPU. But it’s so, so not worth it.

Blackmagic eGPU
$699
The Good

Super quiet • Pass-through charging for MacBooks with USB-C

The Bad

Expensive • Non-replaceable graphics processor • Many apps aren’t optimized for eGPU • Most apps don’t support hot-plugging • eGPU support for macOS High Sierra and Mojave varies • Included Thunderbolt 3 cable is really short

The Bottom Line

Blackmagic’s eGPU is worth considering if you wanna give your Mac a graphics boost, but only if you have all the right equipment and don’t mind going through trial and error to see if your apps will benefit from it.
