1 week ago | machow2.com | Nick Mead |Nick Van Mead

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.

1 week ago | machow2.com | Maria Jansson

if you’re choosing between SketchUp and SmartDraw for floor planning and home design, architecture, or diagramming on a Mac, the right tool depends on what you’re trying to achieve, and how much you’re willing to adapt to macOS limitations. Many comparisons of these two apps gloss over the fact that neither SketchUp nor SmartDraw is made exclusively for macOS, yet both work perfectly well on Macs – if you know how to use them right. That’s where this comparison comes in to help.

3 weeks ago | machow2.com | Nick Mead |Nick Van Mead

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.
