Yeah the MX500's are the best cost/performance drives out there pretty much, which makes them a good choice for anything but especially secondary storage. They had the 2TB MX500 for $180 yesterday and the NVMe 1TB versions for $105. I think there was a pricing error on the 2TB because the discount doubled itself up at checkout.

Nice. I'd prefer the 860 EVO for a boot OS but a NVMe 1TB MX500 for $105 promo is hella bang for buck since mine is only 250GB.

Interested in reviewing the lid once you get it? Pays $120 USD

Haha. I am no reviewer man and generally don't have the time right now - but if it's something you really need I can definitely give it a try or even let you borrow the helmet next time I am in Calgary.

I just bought an iMac. After a week of trying to get used to it, I said fuck this, and installed Windows, lol.

Wife uses the Mac OS, I use W10.

The Grandagon-N collection expands, came to the conclusion that getting a 65mm to work on the 6x17/Chamonix combo was just too much of a pain so I'm pulling the chute on that one for now and going to a 75mm.

Solid grill. I have the same one less the glowing knobs.

Been going strong for 6 years with essentially no maintenance.

Looking forward to setting up the rotisserie and using the sear station. The instructions were god awful though.

[killramos]

My only comment on the sear station is don’t even bother if it’s cold or windy out. When it’s still and hot it works great but it really doesn’t like wind, unless you like your food solidly raw.

Me neither, but I’m slowly getting used to it. My biggest reason for moving was my new role has me on Webex and phone calls pretty much the entire day, and using with AirPods just worked really well. With everything I do in the cloud, my day is spent on browsers, so it’s pretty much the same experience.

The good outweigh the bad so far. One thing that pissed me off about surface pro and windows was after all these years it cant sleep reliably. Every few days a sleep wouldn’t wake up and force a restart, losing everything. So I turn off sleep and kills the battery. On the MacBook it just sleeps and wakes perfectly every time. Another is the touchpad, my palm touches the pad on the surface pro and it cursors to where the mouse pointer is at, so typing large documents have text all over the page. The MacBook touchpad is pretty perfect, gestures are really useful and always doing what I want, but I still struggle with precision drag and drops for things such as aligning audio and video clips in iMovie. Have to use mouse for that. Travel weight has been reduced thanks to a single charger with usb c and usb, plus the office is setting up single cable docks for dual monitors at each office.

It’s been a lot less painful that I imagined. Now I can properly support our MacBook at home haha. It’s sad that Microsoft making their own hardware isn’t able to make the Surface Pros just work properly with their own OS. Total missed opportunity. I do miss the touchsceen though, did not realize how often I used it. My MacBook is covered with fingerprints and swipes on the screen.

I am pretty OS bilingual, and I loved my macbook pro and my imac. My wife's macbook pro is great to use when I borrow it.

The only thing really find wrong with apples computers is the prices these days. The only reason i got a dell last go around was 100% cost.

I covered the front slots with foil tape and it works much better in windy conditions.

That's pretty messed up. You'd think it would be a simple thing to address. My MacBooks go months without a restart and that's only when I decide I should apply the latest security updates.

Yeah, the thing that keeps me from getting rid of my MacBooks (aside from macOS) is the touchpad/gestures. I've tried other laptops and nothing even comes close.

I'll be sad when my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air finally die though. I really hate where Apple is going with their hardware and prices. I think I'll just have to keep buying old hardware from around 2015 before they switched to their fucked up keyboards and until they no longer support their OS upgrades and reevaluate.
