Question from Damon G: My old MacBook Pro has been in dire need of being replaced for some time now so I’ve really been looking forward to the release of the newest model.
The thing is I’ve heard that the new MacBook Pro won’t be upgradeable. Is that really the case?
I love my Apple devices but I’m not too keen on laying out buku dollars for a machine that can never be upgraded when the times comes that it needs it (and it always does).

Apple products have long been considered by many to be the “cream of the crop” in the tech world. In fact, in their eyes the Apple brand is almost synonymous with perfection.
While that opinion is certainly debatable, I would say that it comes pretty close to the mark in the case of Apple’s latest MacBook Pro.

Question from Alveda F.: Hi Rick. My daughter is a college freshman. Her laptop was stolen a few days ago during a visit to the library and she needs to replace it.
Price is an issue, but it’s important to me that she get the best computer for her needs even if it costs a little more.
I know they are more expensive than Windows laptops, but her friends have convinced her that she needs to buy a MacBook. That’s fine with me, but she’s confused about which model to get.
Her choice is basically between a MacBook Air (#ad) and a MacBook Pro. (#ad)
Which do you think would be better for her? She’s a History major if that makes any difference.
