MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

Samsung UN40H5003AFXZA HDTV: A great midsized TV for viewing movies, TV shows, video games and more in high-definition.
Overall
4 out of 5
4 out of 5Tricky when Wall Mounting

The TV is great for a bedroom tv or kids game room. If you plan to wall mount the tv the HDMI cables come out the back, and you'll need to modify your set up.
The 2 HDMI ports are vertical and with a traditional wall mount the tv doesn't latch, because of the cables hitting the wall. I don't like the tv sticking out far, but as a temp fix I used longer bolts and plastic spacers to get an extra 1/2 - 3/4 inch.
I bought a right angle adapter so the cables will be flat against the tv, and I can remove the spacers and have the tv closer to the wall. Since the HDMI ports are vertical, only one adapter can be used. We plan to have a PS TV to remote play our PS4, PS3, Wii, Firestick, etc... I bought a 5 port switch (Kinivo 501BN) to be able to connect everything on 1 HDMI cable.
If you plan to wall mount this TV, I'd look for a different Samsung TV with HDMI ports on the side or bottom. I spent $60 for the 5 port switch box, right angle adapter, and shorter HDMI cables. Since everything connects to the 5 port switch on the entertainment center, I didn't want 6+ foot cables looking messy all over the entertainment center.
I would recommend this tv to anyone wanting a cheap tv for kids or a bedroom. If you plan to wall mount it, I'd look for something else. It's pretty thick and the HDMI port set up isn't ideal.
I ordered online and didn't pay attention to the thickness since it was LED, my other 2 Samsung LED TVs are very thin. After picking it up and actually wall mounting it, I'm sure this TV will be replaced when I get a larger tv for the front room within the next 2 years.

The photos of the tv online are not the correct photos as of 12/8/15. The photos of the tv online have a flat back and the Samsung logo sits below the bezel. The correct tv has a bubble back and the Samsung logo is inline with the bezel. You can see the correct back of the tv on the photos I posted. I ending up switching out the tv for one similar to the one in the incorrect photos.
I'd still give the tv 4 stars just for the HDMI setup when wall mounting.

Running slow?
Hello. I am new to MacBook Pro and it seems like Mac runs slow when i have multiple tabs up. I downloaded something that tells me how much RAM i'm using and it's always 99% and pictures start to not show up. Do i seriously need to buy more? I am a medical student and this is very frustrating. Please help!
Remove that app. It's usually what slows up your computer. If it doesn't help take the laptop to an Apple store to be checked out by a Genesis. You can add Apple Care for up to 1 year after you buy it, and students get a discount on it.
