There has been much consternation over the direction that Apple has taken their laptops. While there have been those that have questioned the inclusion of the TouchBar, many have questioned whether or not the TouchBar is a useful tool in place of standard function keys. While the TouchBar has been controversial, there is a topi that has been even more problematic, and for good reason. That feature is the new keyboards. The issues that have been expressed are:
How little it takes for a key to stop responding.
The cost of an out-of-warranty keyboard repair, which is approximately $540 dollars out of warranty.
The suggested fix by Apple.
And most problematic, the rapidity of the issues.
All of these have added to the hesitation of many pundits to recommend the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros.
Early 2015 MacBook Pro
A couple weeks ago the Apple Care on my Early 2015 MacBook Pro ended. When I realized it had been three years, it got me to thinking about how I never wrote a review of the MacBook Pro. I did post about the issue that I had when I first got the machine.
As a brief recap of the issue, it would stop randomly and sometimes rebooting fixed the issue, sometimes it did not. At the time Apple offered to just return the computer and order another one. This was just about the time that the brand new 12-inch MacBook was released. I seriously considered ordering one, but since the laptop was just still so new, I opted to have them fix it. Ultimately, this was a better choice for me. The ultimate problem was a bad cable to the SSD. Once they replaced that, it fixed all of the issues.
Selecting the MacBook Pro
When I start looking at any computer, I end up creating a Numbers spreadsheet to allow me to compare many different factors, with just a quick glance. These include:
Storag
Memory
Price
Video Memory
Storage, Memory and Price are the biggest factors that I look at. Screen size typically dictates the prices. I look at video memory, mostly for long term viability.
Specs
The MacBook Pro that I got is a mid-tier model. It is a 13-inch with a 2.7GHz Core i5 CPU and 16GB of memory with a 256GB SSD.
The 2015 MacBook Pro was my first purely solid-state storage computer. Prior to getting the 2015 MacBook Pro I had a 2011 iMac with a 1TB hard drive traditional hard drive, a 2007 Black polycarbonate MacBook with a 500GB hard drive, and a 2007 20-inch iMac with the same specs as the Black MacBook.
For just over two years after getting the MacBook Pro, it was effectively my primary computer. It is not that my 2011 iMac did not work, it did and still does. There were a couple of factors that lead me to use it as my primary. The first is that it seems like a faster computer. The second, and more importantly, the MacBook Pro has a Retina Screen.
The Screen
The MacBook Pro has a 2x Retina display which allows for resolutions that go between 1024 by 640 to 1680 by 1050. For my usage, I tend to go with the highest resolution of 1680 by 1050. When I first got the MacBook Pro I went with the default because it was new. As time progressed, and especially when the MacBook Pro became my primary computer,
This has to do with needing as much space as possible when doing coding, particularly with Xcode. As mentioned above, the MacBook Pro was my primary computer for a while, so it is the one where I updated my app <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wwrite/id366196225?mt=8&at=1000l5Yb'>wwrite and wwriteFree. While working on the code, and in particular in the Xcode Simulator, given the size and space needed for being able to develop and test the app.
Over the years, the extra screen resolution has been quite handy. It has been nice having the extra screen size. There have been occasions when I need to adjust the screen resolution, but I have typically kept it at the maximum.
Storage
One of the changes that Apple made with the 2013 MacBook Pros was the removal of the optical drive. The lack of an optical drive allowed Apple to reduce the overall size and weight of the laptop. A byproduct of the decision to make the laptop smaller was that the option for a spinning hard drive was removed, resulting in only SSD storage.
There are a total of four storage options, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, depending on which model. My MacBook Pro has 25GB of storage. I debated on going with the base of 128GB, but knew that would not be enough. At the time, the cost of getting 512GB, or 1TB, was just a bit too much. So I settled on the 256GB model.
The choice of getting 256GB was worth it. While I have not filled up the storage on the MacBook Pro, I do think that having 512GB of storage would have allowed for a bit more leeway with what can be stored on the MacBook Pro. In particular, for the pictures that I have in stored in Photos.
Keyboard
The keyboard on the 2015 MacBook Pro is one that may users would say are the the best laptop keyboards that Apple has manufactured in the last decade. The 2015 MacBook Keyboard is backlit. For me, it was the first laptop that had a backlit keyboard. While it has been nice, it is not always that useful for me since I do not generally use the laptop in the dark, so the backlight has not been that useful.
After three years of usage, I have noticed one issue, besides having to re-accustom myself after using the Magic Keyboard for a while, I have two letters that have effectively worn off. These are the "A" and "R" keys. I am not sure what the reason that this has happened, but It could be the way that I hit the keys when I am typing. Here is an example of what it looks like
Ports
The 2015 MacBook Pro has a selection of different ports. These include:
Two Thunderbolt 2 ports
One HDMI port
Two USB 3.0 Type A ports
One SDHC slot
One headphone jack
One MagSafe 2 connector
I think I have used all of the ports at least once. I know I used the SD Card reader to install a copy of macOS to test something on an older version of macOS. I would not recommend running macOS off of an SD Card. It is painfully slow.
Since there is no built-in ethernet adapter, I had to purchase a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. When I used the MacBook Pro as my primary computer, I would use the computer plugged in most of the time, so having Gigabit network connectivity did help quite a bit. Now, I use the laptop as a laptop. The portability is definitely nice when I need to change where I am sitting and working on my e-books.
General Usage
The general usage of my MacBook Pro has been for portability. I normally use the MacBook Pro for writing a lot of my blog posts, and for a significant portion of the writing of my e-books. The final compilation of my e-books is now done one my 27-inch iMac, mostly due to all of the space.
The amount of storage that I got has not been too bad, in particular since the release of macOS Sierra, when Documents and Desktop storage was released. It has allowed me to not manually manage the storage on my MacBook Pro.
The speed has remained pretty much the same since I first got the MacBook Pro, which is really nice considering that it is a three-year old computer.
Closing Thoughts
The 13-inch 2015 MacBook Pro has been a great computer. While the keys have begun to rub off, the keys still work well and I have not had any real issues with the keyboard, besides when I switch to and from this keyboard and the Magic Keyboard.
Having a solid state drive in the MacBook Pro has been a great speed improvement over the 2011 iMac that I had previously. Having an SDD is much faster than a spinning hard drive and is noticeable. If you were to take the Geekbench specs from my 2011 iMac and this MacBook Pro, they would be about the same, except the multi-core, which is still better on the 2011 iMac.
Overall, the 2015 MacBook Pro is a solid machine. I have not had any issues except for that first issue. I anticipate that the 2015 MacBook Pro will last for a few more years, until it can no longer support the latest macOS. If you want at 15-inch version, you can still buy the 15-inch 2015 MacBook Pro new from Apple today. However, if you were looking for a 13-inch model an online seller, like eBay, may be your best option but I would not be surprised if they go for a premium.
The iPad Pro has remained pretty stable in its availability. There has been a change for only one country, Russia. iPad Pro availability has slipped to 1-2 weeks for all models. You can view current availability at https://www.waynedixon.com/ipadpro/ipadpro.php?.

There are many different things that can bring back memories of childhood. What will evoke the memories depends on when you are born. For those who were born during the 1980's, and later, one of the things that have been consistent is video games.
Children of the 1980's grew up on the original Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Playstation. Sure, we also enjoyed the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, and for a few, Sega CD. We embraced the Game Cube, Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox, and all of their subsequent successors.
Along with video games, children of the 1980's and 90's also enjoyed building things with Legos. That is not to say that previous generations did not enjoy them as well, because they did. Now, if you take Video Games and Lego, you hit a couple of buttons of a segment of the population.
I have previously written a review of "Lego City: Undercover" over at The Tech Scoop. Well, There is another Lego Video game that I will review, Lego Dimensions.
What is Lego Dimensions?
Lego Dimensions is at its heart a video game that involves Lego Characters. As mentioned above, this triggers all sorts of good vibes for some gamers. With this, Lego Dimensions adds a new dynamic to the Lego video games that have come before.
With traditional Lego video games, a player can quickly switch players by simply hitting a button to do so. In order to get more in-game characters, players will simply need to spend the studs that they collect while in-game.
With Lego Dimensions, this dynamic has changed. Instead of purchasing characters all in-game, you are able to bring new characters into the game through the Game Toy Pad, which is included within the Starter Kit.
Game Toy Pad
The Game Toy Pad is a mechanism that is required in order to play Lego Dimensions. The Pad is included in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack.
The Pad is broken into three distinct sections, and has spots for up to seven simultaneous characters and vehicles. As a character, or vehicle, is needed, the player can swap in the necessary item.
Adding Characters and Vehicles
Adding Characters and Vehicles is one of the downsides to the game. While there is a mechanism called "Hire a Hero", which is where you pay studs to hire a character, it is not an inexpensive in-game endeavor, and it is not available at any time. For each story-level and open world, the cost progresses from 25,000 up to 250,000, depending on the number of heroes that you have hired. When you hire a hero, they only last for thirty seconds.
In order to be able to play as a character you are required to purchase the physical item. Each character has its own abilities, which add to the game.
The Starter Pack includes Gandalf, from Lord of the Rings, Wyldstyle from the Lego Movie, and Batman.
There are three different types of expansions; Level Packs, Team Packs, and Fun Packs. Let us look at each of these in turn.
Level Pack
There are currently Four Level Packs. Level Packs unlock the ability to travel to add another level to the Game. These are:
Each of these comes with a character, and a companion vehicle. In the case of Portal, a Weighted Companion Cube.
With each the Level Pack, you are able to unlock the corresponding dimension to travel through and play.
There are two future Level Packs. The Ghostbusters level will be released on January 19th, 2016. While the Midway Retro Gamer level will be released on March 15th, 2016.
Team Packs
Team Packs are similar to level packs, but come with two characters and vehicles in one pack. There are currently four Team Packs, three of which are available now, and one being released in the future.
The Jurassic World Team Pack has Owen, and an ACU Trooper included.
The Ninjago pack has Cole and Kai from the animated series Ninjago.
DC Comics pack has the Joker and Harley. This will be released on January 19th, 2016.
Fun Packs
Fun Packs are as their name describes, fun. There are a myriad of characters that add some fun to the game. There are eighteen available now, with eight more on the way. As a note, Fun Packs only include one character, so each of the Fun Packs below are individual.
One of the nice touches when you add characters is that they can interact and they sometimes make comments to each other. A good exampe is when Scooby says "Ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra...Batman", or when Wonder Woman quips, "Homer, somebody told me that you're a big fan of mine".
It does make it a better experience. Yet, even with the better experience in order to purchase EVERYTHING for a system, the retail cost for the starter kit, four team packs, four level packs, and twenty six characters would come out to approximately $770. That is a lot for Legos.
However, what TTGames, creators of the Lego series, has stated is that current Lego Dimensions charcters and team packs should work on future versions of the game.
Game Play
There are many different things to do in order to complete any Lego video game. These include, but are not limited to, single player, mini puzzles, quests, getting gold bricks, and collecting studs.
The Lego Dimensions single player allows you to take the primary three characters, Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle and put them through a series of different worlds. These include The Simpsons, Portal, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Scooby Do, and more. The entire single player campaign can be done using just the standard three characters.
With standard Lego video games, once you finish the single player you are able to enter in "Free Play" mode. This mode allows you to switch characters at will. With Lego Dimensions, with the way that you are able to swap in characters at any time, there is no "Free Play Mode". Instead, you can effectively play all of the levels as "Free Play".
There are three distinct areas to Game Pad. Having this arrangement allows for different types of interactions to occur within the game. These range from having characters use fire, electricity, or wind elements to selecting the proper colors to solve a puzzle, or even escaping from Evil Bosses. The sections provide a new interaction level to the game.
Playable Areas
As mentioned above you can progress through the story mode which will is playable with only the three built-in characters. There are four goals within each level. For each of these goals that are completed, you will receive a Gold Brick.
The first goal is to finish the level. The second goal is to get all of the Minikits. These are collectible items that all relate to the level you are in. The third goal is to reach a number of collectible studs. Once you reach this level, which is different for each level, you will reach "Rule Breaker" status. The final goal is to rescue
Besides the story mode levels, there is another playable area, the Open Worlds.
Open Worlds
The second playable area is the Open Worlds. There are a total of fourteen open worlds, as of right now. In order to access any of these worlds, a character from that world must be on the Game Pad. With the three included with the Starter Pack, you are able to access "Lord of the Rings", "Lego Movie", and "DC Comics World".
Within each of these worlds you will be tasked with gathering Gold Bricks, Studs, assisting chracters with quests, and building areas to expand each of the worlds.
Each open world will take a bit of time to complete. I would say at minimum of four hours per world, but likely longer. Within each world is a Red Brick, which can assist you in your travels. Some of the Red Bricks will just provide fun extras, while others will truly be helpful.
Each open world also includes races on land, under water, and in the air. The worlds also require a player to assist characters with bad characters, finish puzzles, and use your character's abilities to get all of the Gold Bricks.
Every world has a different number of buildable areas, level for "Rule Breaker" in the world, and Gold Bricks to obtain. You will not be able to complete every aspect to any world until all of the characters are released.
Achievements/Trophies
Traditional Lego video games have achievements for completing different actions within the game. Lego Dimensions is no different, with one exception. With traditional Lego games, you are able to get an achievement for completing 100% of the game. Due to the immense amount of money that would be needed to complete every aspect of the game, there is no 100% achievement for Lego Dimensions.
Despite this, there are 50 achievements worth 1300 points that can be obtained throughout the game, and level packs. A complete list can be found at XboxAchievements.com.
Many of these you will simply obtain while playing through the game. Others, however, you will have to look out for and do yourself.
Bugs
I purchased Lego Dimensions during Thanksgiving weekend has been playing it, almost exclusively, since then. In order to collect the "Gold Bricks" in the game, you have to figure out puzzles or complete tasks for other some non-playable characters.
When I started playing, the hint mechanism stated to look for the "flashing red dots" to help solve a puzzle or quest. I could never see this flashing red dots. That was, until an update fixed the bug.
This was not the only fixed bug that I have encountered. Another bug was that the game would not always detect the Pad, so I had to unplug and plug back in the game pad in order for it to recognize it. That too was fixed.
Even with these fixed bugs, there is still a bug that I have encountered. This one is still occuring. For the level packs, one of the open world Gold Bricks that you can get requires you to collect all of the "Minikits" in the corresponding level. For example, there is a story-mode level called "Meltdown in Sector 7G". Once you collect all of the Minikits in this level, you can unlock an event within the Simpsons Open World.
The bug that I am seeing is that this event is not being unlocked, despite having all of the minikits for the level, as evidenced with the two screenshots below.
It did eventually unlock, but only after I got all of the Minikits in "The Mysterious Voyage of Homer" level as well.
Feature Request
I know the idea behind Lego Dimensions is to generate revenue by providing all of the Level, Team, and Fun Packs, but it can be out of reach for some. If there was one feature request I could make it would be provide a version of the game that allows people to buy just the Starter Pack, and play the game without having to purchase all of the extra items. These could be in-game purchases, or digital expansion packs. Even though the players might lose some of the new interactions with the Game Pad, it would allow for a broader audience to be reached.
Tips
There are two tips that I will provide that I have found make the game easier in general.
The first is to buy the DC Wonder Woman Fun Pack. She has the ability to fly, dive, and is invincible. For the younger kids, this will make things that much easier on them.
The second tip is to save up one million studs, locate the Red Brick in the "Lord of the Rings World". You will need a vehicle, like the Batmobile, to be able to chase down the Red Brick. This is the "Dwarf's Bounty" extra, which will provide 2x the studs, which will allow upgrades, and "Rule Breaker" to be completed quicker.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Lego Dimensions is a good Lego video game. Multiple open worlds, as well as the various tasks to do in the single player levels, will provide hours upon hours of playability. The major downside to the game is the cost to reach 100%. It may not be a goal that everyone strives for, since there is no record for the achievement if a player does reach that goal.
Lego Dimensions is the start to a new type of Lego-based video game. With a plethora of characters, no two games will be the same. Even with the bugs that occurred when the game was first released, it has become quite solid and well worth the investment. If you are a parent, it is probably something you should think about beforehand, because the cost of the level packs and characters can quickly become an expense. Even so, with a small investment of $150 (including the starter pack), the game can provide enough fun for everybody.

If you are looking to avoid spoilers, here is a video with the older videos that includes Bad Lip Reading. There are no spoilers in this and it's a must watch.
There have been some major changes in availability of the iPad Pro across 78% of the world. Most of the changes are not for the better, with one exception. The United States availability has improved from 3 to 5 days, to 1 to 2 days. The remaining countries have slipped from 3 to 5 days to 5 to 7 days.
As mentioned in the last post, the iPad Pro has remained stable. But it appears as though some accessories have improved in availability. Just like the last post, the Smart Keyboard availability has changed.
Smart Keyboard Changes
United Stes has improved from '4-5 weeks' to '3-4 weeks'
Canada has improved from '4-5 weeks' to '3-4 weeks'
Mexico has improved from '4-5 weeks' to '3-4 weeks'
The iPad Pro has become quite stable in terms of availability. It has been 3 to 5 days for about two weeks now. There have been no changes to the iPad Pro itself this week at all.
However, what has changed is the availability of one of the accessories, specifically the Smart Keyboard.
Smart Keyboard Changes
United Kingdom has improved from '4-5 weeks' to '3-4 weeks'
Germany has improved from '4-5 weeks' to '3-4 weeks'
Italy has improved from '4-5 weeks' to '3-4 weeks'

Finland has gone from 'Not Available' to '3-4 weeks'
Sweden has gone from 'Not Available' to '3-4 weeks'
As a note, some of the countries that were previously "Not Available" could be due to differences in exact model types that were not accounted for previously. This issue has been fixed and these should now be properly reflected in the future.
