Will the 27" Thunderbolt Display power a USB SuperDrive?
My SuperDrive works only if I plug it directly into my Retina Display MBP, thus taking up one of the USB ports. My powered USB hub will not power the SuperDrive, and neither will the USB ports on the back of my 30" Cinema Display monitor.
If I get the 27" Thunderbolt Display, can I plug the SuperDrive into one of the USB ports on the back of the display and draw enough power from it?- Asked by Roger B from Los Angeles

Macbook Pro 13 inch vs 15 inch retina for Gaming
Actually I've got now the high-end early-2011 MacBook Pro 13" with 2.7 GHz, 8Gb Ram and 1TB HD, and, (I know, that's too bad) an Intel HD Graphics 3000 videocard. I do not play a lot, but I really like playing Assassin's Creed and Brotherhood is my favorite part of it. However, I came to realize that this game (which is actually VERY demanding) is running unstably even on minimum settings (which I truly hate to use because all of the game here is right about stunning graphics) In february or may I am considering to buy a new MacBook Pro and I am wondering about which of them, usual Pro 13'', usual Pro 15" or the retina one will give me the maximum possible performance for demanding gaming (of course, it will also be smooth with regular programs). And I also want to know if the game I mentioned will REALLY be able to work in a right way on maximum settings. And also, basically, is a 15" retina worth its money vs the 15" Pro? Thanks in advance, community!!!:)

Best Answer
I have a retina and I play games like Starcraft 2, Heroes of Newerth, and other smaller games like Asphalt 6.
Pros on gaming:
- stunning 2880 * 1800 display. my SC2 and HoN gameplays are speckless. I can see every detail.
- Ultra fast processors
Cons on gaming:
- overheats easily. and it buurrrnnsss when it overheats. i literally cannot put my finger on the ventilation part (above the function keys) for over five seconds cuz it is sooo hot
- need to let it rest for 20 minutes ish at times.
other than that, the MBP retina will run games like Assassin's Creed and Brotherhood with little effort on maximum settings.
but i don't think the retina isn't worth the money. ppl say the retina really bumped up the cost, but I say it should be a couple hundred dollars cheaper. But if I were you I would get the retina - so much more better than the 15". although you don't have a CD drive and the magsafes aren't the same, the retina MBP really is the best.- Answered by Doyoung C from Irvine

- Asked about: Time Capsule - 3 TB
Best Answer
Yes, but not easily. Long answer is that you would need to partition the time capsule to allow both the Mac Time Machine backups and another partition for Windows. Then you need to find a backup program for Windows that will backup over a network (Window's built in does not by default). Short answer, buy a few cheap external hard drives and make life easier.

iPad and Mac mini or MacBook
My current windows laptop is on the conk and I'm thinking of making the switch to mac. I already have an iPhone and iPad 2 and will shortly be getting Apple TV. My question is what is a better idea - Mac mini using the iPad as display and getting a mouse and keyboard or getting a MacBook? I pretty much use my laptop to produce power points and spreadsheets and a bit of web surfing/gaming. Any thoughts?

Best Answer
Lets just take a look...
It's smart.
It's newer.
It's better.
It consumes less resources nor than Snow Leopard.
It has a brand new notification center integrated with Twitter and Facebook.
It has brand new AirDrop right on your Finder to send/receive files from nearby other Macs.
It has Mission Control & Launchpad.
It has built in with App Store.
and it goes on and on...
It just worths it. ;)

iMac(+iPad) or MacBook Pro?
I am a Junior in High School, I am quickly approaching Graduation and College. I have been stuck between picking the portability of the MacBook Pro and the power of the iMac. I should state that I like gaming and have a vlog that I have to edit. So that I can still be portable in College, I was thinking about getting a iPad in conjunction with the iMac. I would take the iPad with me to classes, to take notes, and to the library for on the go studying. With that I would do most of my gaming, video editing, and scholarly stuff on the iMac. On the other hand I would just take the MBP with me everywhere, and do everything on it, however I am a little concerned about the capabilities of it for playing games and video editing. Any Suggestions for what the best pick is for a extreme gamer, vloger, and College?

- Asked about: iPad
Answer
I'd say go with the Macbook Pro. I myself have a 2011 Macbook Pro with a 2.2Ghz i7 & AMD 6750M 1GB dedicated graphics card. I primarily use this for music work (Music Tech student) so running audio software, which can be quite demanding on the Mac, as well as general use (word processing, internet, listening to music, etc).
Up to now, I've used a gaming PC I built, for all my gaming needs but seeing as I am off to uni next month, taking a massive water cooled gaming PC with me to student accommodation doesn't seem like an excellent idea... It's just too big and excessive.
Therefore, I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro through Boot Camp and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised with it's gaming performance. Now this is at the 15" resolution of 1440x900 (I haven't got round to trying it on a 1080p 21" monitor that I'll be using at Uni)... It runs Battlefield 3 on medium settings perfectly, there's no graphics lag and there's always a smooth FPS rate. I don't know if it'll handle high settings as I simply haven't tried them but the new 2012 Macbook Pro's have the Nvidia GT 650M which is a faster GPU than the AMD 6750M, so there should be no problem there. I've transferred my steam account over and the Macbook runs every game I throw at it; Mass effect 3, Skyrim, Dead space 2, Crysis 2, Portal 2, the list goes on.
One thing to note is that the Macbook Pro will get hot during these gaming sessions and the fans usually spin up to full speed to keep cool air running through the computer. This would also happen with an iMac as they simply don't have as efficient cooling as a desktop computer. So long as you keep it well ventilated and use a pair of headphones/turn up the volume, it doesn't pose a problem.- Answered by Michael B
