Apple drops the iconic Chime at startup on the new MacBook Pro notebooks because the MacBook Pro boots silently in seconds when you open the lid and would be a disturbance in meeting environments. However, if you really like having the chime, there is a way to bring it back. — PING!

I was looking at the hardware in the new Macbook Pro.

I ended up saving a thousand dollars by getting a 21” iMac upgraded.

21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display

• 3.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
• 16GB 1867MHz LPDDR3
• 2TB Fusion Drive
• Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200
• Magic Mouse 2
• Magic Keyboard (English) & User’s Guide
• Accessory Kit

Pretty pale excuse for a touch screen if anyone wants one.

I read 16gb Max non upgradeable ram?, is that true?

Last years Hardware Specs?

I think Apple is getting out of the hardware business.

$4,300 topped out price, is that true?
