MacJury #919: The Verdict on Choosing a New Mac Desktop or Laptop

With the holiday season in full swing, one item on everyone’s possible gift list is a new Mac…including members of The MacJury. But the choices aren’t obvious. To buy (now) or not to buy, where to buy, what upgrades to consider, and more are all questions that need to be considered. The panel discusses why education discounts aren’t what they once were, what a refurbished Mac is and why it may be a great value, what a refreshed Mac is and where to ask about one, why Apple RAM may be worth the money, and what to do if you spill liquid on your Mac. Fond memories of favorite Macs past conclude the discussion with:
