Summer 2019 To-Do List

It was the end of July and my summer to-do list was getting a bit dusty, so yesterday I brushed it off and took care of 2 items. 

First, my youngest daughter Natalie is off to Syracuse University (Go ’Cuse! ??) next month, so I ordered her one of Apple’s newest 2019 MacBook Pros. It takes a couple weeks for a build-to-order model to arrive — I wanted 16GB of RAM, not the standard 8GB — and I did not want to wait too long to order, because I know I need to transfer all her stuff from her old MacBook Air. I chose this model because it’s nearly as light as the 2019 MacBook Air, but significantly more powerful. And since I hope this laptop will serve her for at least 7 years, I thought the extra power would be a good investment. 

Next, it was time for me to get a new iMac. I know you will be shocked to hear my own Mac is 10 years old. But I’m a ‘Mac fixer,’ so I’ve replaced the hard drive and power supply of this 2009 model, and it runs much faster than originally. But it’s finally time… so I bought a really fast 2019 27-inch iMac. I flirted with getting the iMac Pro, but I’m not the target user — I only occasionally do video editing, and the high-end iMac is powerful enough for all the photo editing I do. 

I’ll be setting up both these new purchases in the coming weeks, before school starts and everyone is back from summer vacations. It's still July, so you’ve got time to knock a few items off your to-do list.

The next big updates come out in the fall with the release of macOS Catalina and iOS 13, so now is a great time to get your current stuff running smoothly and with all the present security updates.
