The Mac is in trouble. And that’s not due to a decline in quality (okay, maybe a little); you can attribute it to more robust competition. As a writer at PCMag, my primary laptop has been a MacBook Pro for the past eight years; I also had an HP Z420 desktop. I’d been holding on to my 2011 MacBook Pro, waiting for the new machines […]

Overall, independent political groups such as these have taken on a larger […]
