Re: The Best CPUs – June 2021

The right CPU hinges on numerous factors, including how much a user can afford and their goals, from a technological standpoint. Hiring an AV conferencing company or related specialist can help with this.

These are solid options to consider, especially if you plan on using your new tech to complete work-related tasks. I'm sure that any specialist in tech, including audio visual companies, will be able to say the same.

I'm starting a Game Design/Development Program in January, and this site has always been a great help. As much as I want to build my own PC for the first time, the chip shortage makes these prebuilts look competitive in price.

Do you foresee any changes in the forecast for the next couple of months, or would you still recommend that Lenovo Legion 5 if I also want to stream a bit?

Hello Mathie!!
When are you making an updated version of this category? The last one was on 2019 and it's a bit outdated. I'm waiting for the latest update for this section. I'm thinking of buying an external ssd and I'd like your opinion on it.
Thanks :)

Of course, I'll be updating the article when the new iMac comes out.

John,

There are numerous rumors that say so.

I've noticed that B&H have stopped carrying iMacs with the 512GB and 1TB storage capacity, usually a sign that an update is coming soon!

Will a new iMac be coming out in 2021?

Re: How to choose the best Apple iMac 27″ – 2021

Joe,

The iMac is on a slower update cadence than say the iPhone or Macbook and you might have to wait for longer before the next update, which may very well be incremental, not necessarely a big difference.

Assuming that you go with an higher-end model, say at least the 8 core model and enough RAM (which can be upgraded later on if you're comfortable with that), I see no reason why the current model wouldn't last you 7-10 years.

Re: How to choose the best Apple iMac 27″ – 2021

Joe — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 03:02:14 -0000

What's the best time of the year or cycle to buy an iMac? My current iMac is ten years old. I'd like to own my next for another 7-10 years. (I realize the 5-year limit on service...but I have to plan this way.)
Should I wait until the fall for the next best model, buy the top of the line, so it will be relevant longest? Or take the best model now in March, 2021?

Re: Choose the best Macbook Pro 13 – 2021

MathieuB — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 16:03:45 -0000

Considering your usage, I'd opt for the M1 macbook with 16GB of RAM. Why would you downgrade RAM?

Re: Choose the best Macbook Pro 13 – 2021

Mazar — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 05:47:51 -0000

I have macbook pro 2020 with 16 gb ram and 10th corei5 intel cpu, I'm hesitated to sell it and buy the M1 macbook with 8gb ram.
I usually use my mac for office software and also web browsing.
My question is that how I should compare between 16 gb ram for intel and 8gb ram for M1?

Is it possible to get the cons you mention corrected in whatever machine I choose or are these permanent exclusions from these builds?

Re: The Best CPUs – Fall 2020: AMD Zen 3 CPUs annoucement edition

whispering malarkey — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:34:12 -0000

The main difference between the Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X is actually CCX layout. The 3100 has two 2-core CCXes while the 3300X has one 4-core one. This greatly reduces inter-CCX latency and is what grants the 3300X superior performance, rather than the clock boost.

Re: How to choose the right SSD storage capacity and pay less for your computer: 2020 Edition

MathieuB — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 15:00:35 -0000

Lori,

Unfortunately the SSD is soldered on your 2019 Macbook Pro, so upgrading it is not an option.

Seeing as an external drive is an inconvenient option, I see two alternatives:
1- A physically small USB flash drive, that you can leave in the USB Type-C port full time, or on a keychain/bag. Something like this:
https://amzn.to/2RBApPa
It allows you to have an extra 512GB of storage at a low cost. But you still have to keep track of your files.

2- Synchronised online backup/files
You can set up an online backup with automatic sync, so that your files are automatically backed up and accessible online. I used Backblaze for many years. You have an app on your computer, you can choose which folders and files that you want to back up automatically. You can recover/download any files that you need.

Hope this helps,
Mathieu

Thank you, Mathieu! This article was EXTREMELY helpful- I wish I had found it before I purchased a 2019 MacBook Pro with 256 SSD. I'm finding it to be almost useless in comparison to my 2010 HHD version. Unfortunately, it crashed. I did some research on the question of whether to spend money on adding more RAM or more SSD storage before I made the purchased last year but I was clearly steered in the wrong direction-- I wasn't even able to transfer the full Time Machine backup to the new computer! What a waste. I am so frustrated with constantly having to offload documents and the prospect of having to keep track of my documents and photos on external hard drives is not a viable option for me. So now I am trying to figure out what to do. If you have any advice that you can offer or thoughts about a potential direction or solutions that might be helpful to pursue I would greatly appreciate it. ~Lori
