Re: Connecting a Model M to a Macintosh Computer
My main issue with this is that modern MacBooks, including mine, use USB C. It's irritating having to use two adaptors to make my keyboard work, but I can't find a single PS/2 to USB C adaptor out there, nor a USB C hub with a PS/2 port included. Any options someone else may be aware of? Or do I ...

Re: [WTB] IBM Unsaver & M15 & Beamspring
I remember. Somehow, I was able to get a passionate and kind forum member to sell me his Unsaver for $150 because we both shared a love for modding. There is no way I would be able to get my dream board otherwise, and today I think it would be impossible unless I was OP offered thousands of ...

Re: [WTB] IBM Unsaver & M15 & Beamspring
Remember when five hundred bucks was considered too much to pay for an Unsaver? (this was at about the same time I got yelled at for spending 250 for an F122 in excellent shape, as well)
That was back when the hobby was great, but was starting to get ridiculous.
This hobby was taken over by ...

Re: 16" MacBook Pro Keyboard
I tried it in a store too. In terms of just feel, not as good as the butterfly. And the keys wobble again, which is something the butterfly totally eliminated. It's not as big a wobble as the pre-2015 keyboards, but then you'd expect that as they're lower keys. Still, that's definitely a ...

Re: 16" MacBook Pro Keyboard
The keys are supposedly the same keyboard as for their current desktops. The key travel and key size on that sucks. I wouldn't call it mushy though.
I really thought it would be the same as the external Magic Keyboards, but those are indeed pretty clicky, not mushy. The laptop board was ...

16" MacBook Pro Keyboard
Hello all,
It's been a while since I've posted here. I wanted to get your opinion of the new 16" MacBook Pro's keyboard. I remember that thoughts on the Butterly keyboard were mixed, but a lot of you thought it was impressive for what was done with such little travel.
The entire world seems to ...

Does the Docking-port count as one or as several? (eg thinkpads can get usb/hdmi/whatnot with the appropriate docking station.)
I'd count it as one. See, you can get amazing Thunderbolt 3 docks these days too. And unlike the proprietary Thinkpad docks, these things have the full 40 Gb/s bandwidth ...

Laptop with MOST ports?
So I've recently been using my new MacBook Pro for college, and though I'll likely make a separate post about my experience with that later, I have to say that it's a mind-blowing experience coming from Windows. Absolutely amazing.
It just got me thinking though, that everyone's complaint with ...

Just thought I'd ask if any of y'all have any stories or tips you'd like to share. I'll be starting in about a week.

If you're serious about note taking then an iPad shouldn't even occur to you as an option. The external keyboards you can use with them are absolute trash unless you hook up some sort of external board through adapters but that'll defeat the point in having a portable tablet anyway. I'd go for the ...

My grandfather was a college prof, and my dad was a high school science teacher. Granddad pioneered a method called SQ3R--Survey, Question, Read, Write, and Review. Basically you ALWAYS read the chapter BEFORE the class, so the teacher is not talking about brand new material. Open the chapter, read ...

Hey there! It's been a while since I've been active on here, but I somehow felt that this would be a good place to ask such a question, considering the amount of veteran computer users on this site. Now, before I really get into the details, I need to mention a few things. First of all, I wrote ...

Laptops are extremely limited in so many ways, I'd personally never use one as my main machine. Not unless they become as modular as a deskto but if it works for you that's all that matters.
That's what I love about Thunderbolt 3. It's getting us so much closer to the dream of a modular laptop. Of ...
