Depending on the Mac you own, you’ll have a different range of ports available to you. As device standards change so do the cables and accessories that are to be used with them. At one point or another, we started to consider getting USB-C accessories as needs arise, although I held out for a while […]
It’s been a busy month back at Apple, as they’re gearing up for the eventual release of the M5 Pro & M5 Max MacBook Pros, sending out iOS updates for older devices, and just announcing the AirTag 2. The Low End Mac Newsletter is a consolidation of some recent events, announcements, OS updates, etc; into […]
For those of us who aren’t into smartwatches, it’s easy just not to buy one. It’s an extra device to charge, small, sometimes easy to lose, and depending on how you use one there’s no guarantee its battery will last as long as the iPhone’s battery. I consider myself a very light Apple Watch user, […]
One of the most striking things about my experience having an iPhone Air for the last 80 days, is how many charge cycles I have: 48. I was somewhat skeptical about battery life at the beginning, although the leap wasn’t perceivably bad – A 3200 mAh on the 14 Pro versus a 3149 mAh on […]
The j5create JVCU100 1080p webcam is one I picked up years ago in 2019, to use with my Mac Pro 3,1 back then. After spending a few minutes exploring a curiosity and going through the entire process of decoupling it from my main desk setup, I found out it actually works on PowerPC Macs! . […]
Today’s iPhone lineup is more powerful than ever, with the A19 and A19 Pro both holding the line for Single Core performance scores on smartphone CPUs. If you’re on a budget, don’t care as much for tech specs but still want an all-around good device, one could feel indecisive amongst the sea of choices out […]
It’s been a month since the launch of the iPhone Air, and I’ve been using it as my daily driver after replacing the iPhone 14 Pro. Now after a month in, I believe I can give a better reflection of my experiences and perspectives. One thing is for sure, it’s a keeper. . . Smooth […]

Time for some new paste. It seems to be working well this time around, as none seemed to get pushed off either CPU die, and it can hold 48.5c steady idle on CPU A when on “highest”. The Power Mac G5 feels snappy again! And these heatsinks are pretty decent. . Why I repasted the […]

I never expected a $42 pair of refurbished Powerbeats³ headphones to last as long as these have, but here we are. I’ve had this pair for over 5 years now, and miraculously haven’t had a need to replace the batteries yet. Seriously, I don’t know how these headphones are even lasting this long! . . […]
A month and a half ago, I covered some deals which were going on at Micro Center, which applied in-store. Right now when you stop into any one of Micro Center’s 28 locations across the country, you can pickup a brand new M4 Mac mini for just $449. Or a ready-to-go (screen, machine, keyboard and […]
The M4 Mac mini may very well be one of the most affordable and most powerful desktop Macs in recent history, starting at $599. With solid single core and multi-core CPU performance that beats an M1 Pro chip, it’s a no-brainer for anyone looking for strong CPU power. The M1 Pro still pulls ahead with […]
Time and time again, the ports on our devices change – prompting many of us to consider at one point or another whether or not to start buying USB-C accessories. Back when the TouchBar MacBook Pro came out, I held out for a while as accessories in general felt overpriced.. not that I was looking […]
