OWC has announced that their complete line of award-winning docking solutions is compatible with the newly-released MacBook Pro 16-inch. While the newest MacBook Pro offers a large Retina display and next-generation graphics, it also offers fewer ports and connectivity options than tech users might need.

Earlier this week, Adobe launched the latest version of the Creative Cloud suite, CC 2020. While we plan to offer a more detailed look at a later time, including the possibility of a couple competitive reviews (think Affinity apps), this article provides a quick overview.
