Upgrading internal storage on a Mac is not only ludicrously expensive nowadays, it’s pretty much impossible after purchase on most models. Apple has locked down Macs so much nowadays that you can’t upgrade the internal storage at a later date. You have to purchase as much as you can possibly afford when you buy a Mac from new and then hope that it’s enough.

Following hot on the heals of the 4K BenQ PD3225U “Design Monitor” and the uber Mac friendly 4K MA270U, BenQ recently released yet another alternative to Apple’s Studio Display, the 5K PD2730S. The BenQ PD2730S has entered the 5K monitor space at around $1,199 which undercuts the Apple Studio Display by around $400 which currently retails for $1,599 (although refurbished models are cheaper). That’s a pretty decent saving – almost enough to get yourself an M4 Mac Mini to go with it.

Stellar Data Recovery for Mac has a user-friendly interface and a range of features to recover files from both your hard drive and external drives. While I found it can be effective in recovering deleted files, they were often corrupted or unusable anyway which means it may not be able to rescue everything you want. However, if you're desperate to try and recover data, Stellar Data Recovery definitely surprised me in how many deleted files it managed to uncover.

With the incredibly powerful “trash-can” looking Intel Mac Pro now going for less than $200 and the Intel MacBook Pro laptop available for just $574, I recently got thinking about whether at such low prices, is it still worth getting one?
