It was originally like 110. Saving $30 was good enough for me.

Have you tried your other USB ports?
I ask, because my Dad's PC only had one USB port that recognized his iPhone plugged in. It was weird.

I've been using a 1TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra for the past 5+ years and experienced no issues.

Western digital makes some good drives, have had my passport for 2 years and no issues. If you want an ssd external drive samsung makes some.
Amazon product ASIN B01AVF6WN2
These are hot right now but their price is up there.

Anyone have any recommendations or info on deals for NAS or cloud drives? Looking to have one for the house for all my devices to connect to, etc.

Was literally looking into this. I use plex, so was looking for one that transcodes as well. QNAP seemed to have good ones. I am still doing research. Looking into possibly building a Linux based one. But I like the NAS setups where I can just plug in drives and it looks clean.
Edit: Too add to this. My wife is looking to get some hands on experience with OSX for future work purposes. I want to get her a laptop for her Bday.
Would you guys recommend a Macbook, Macbook Air, or Macbook pro w/o touchbar? She doesn't need the fastest joint, but something that'll run software like excel, or online or work based databases. So beyond browsing, watching videos, email, etc., it doesn't need to be a power house, but it does need to run OSX. Thanks ahead of time!

I had my first glitch with the touchbar yesterday while using the messages app. The emojis that are supposed to be displayed across the touchbar were being displayed across my monitor instead. I tried closing messages thinking the emojis would disappear off of my screen, nope! They just moved from the top part of my screen to right in the middle. It wasn't like I could click them either, they were kinda like superimposed on the monitor screen. I restarted the computer and they were gone. Haven't had a problem since [emoji]128076[/emoji][emoji]127998[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]127998[/emoji][emoji]128513[/emoji][emoji]128526[/emoji]

If the rumors are true my early 2011 MBP will be rendered obsolete in 2017. Apple is trying to force my hand.

That sucks.
How do you like the touchbar though? Seems like a neat thing to use...But I couldn't justify the price of one.

What do you mean obsolete? As in Apple will no longer make repairs to it. Or you won't be able to install the latest Mac OS on it?

How many of you guys are running Sierra? I'm still using El Capitan and see no need to update right now but I do wanna here Siri's luxurious voice on my mac so may update tonight. Any bugs you've witnessed?

I don't even know what I'm running. I think I'm on Yosemite. If not that then Maverick. This is a late 2008 MBP, so I wouldn't even be able install Sierra.
Not anything to stress about. Most new features from what I've seen really just help with Mac OS and iOS intergration. As long as my installed software works I'm good.
