just wondering those WD external hdd, some models are stated "for Mac" which are slightly more expensive. any difference besides having it able to be used right out of the box?

WD

i just got dell's u2515h QHD monitor. or if you want a bigger one, can get the u2715h, also QHD.

good design, good value QHD monitors IMO.

I'm currently on OSX 10.11.3 on my rMBP early 2015. I noticed that if i use my macbook on clamshell mode with thunderbolt video out, my internet will slow to a crawl and very often time out. But once I remove the video cable and use my macbook normally (non clamshell mode), my internet connection goes back to normal.

Checked on apple forums, some ppl complain the same problem. Just wondering anyone here facing the same issue?

Yeah, that's one most of the online forums are saying. Weird thing is that the Wifi signal still full bar whether lid is opened or closed.

Anyway, will try out setting up a wifi repeater or get a powerline network adapter.

Anybody here uses 3rd party USB to Ethernet port adapter with their Macbook?

sometimes my 2015 MBPr running osx 10.11 will automatic "reboot". so far i've noticed that this will happen when im playing songs on spotify through my bluetooth speakers.

im never in front of the laptop when this happens. only if after the music stop playing suddenly then i go and check. when i hit the keyboard key, the screen will come on with the reboot logon page (with shutdown & reboot options at the bottom) instead of the locked screen logon page which doesn't have the shutdown & reboot options. all previously opened app/software will be closed (just like a reboot).

is this because of the os crashing? because i never see it happen in front of my eyes, and i don't get any warning message after it has rebooted (eg. saying error occurred etc.). I read online that usually if os crash, you'll get a message after the reboot?

still new to osx

currently testing it without opening spotify.

yeah, i was waiting for the june release to decide whether to get macbook or the pro

now

most of you using casing for your rMBP? i just took mine off after 4 months using the the casing. the thing i worry is the four rubber stoppers at the bottom. will it wear or fall off? if so, got replacement kah?

oh thx for the info. took off the case after using it for 4 months, rMBP feels a lot lighter and more compact. never expected such a noticeable difference with/without case.

me too...hoping for new rmbp announcement...

although latest rumors seem to play down the possibility...

sigh...guessing game begins again...
