By Mike Epstein Published March 28, 2014

Apple has pushed a new build of OS X Mavericks version 10.9.3, dubbed 13D28, to developers today, according to MacRumors. As has been the case in the past, the developer-only update is available through the Mac App store and Mac Dev Center at this writing.

Mavericks 10.9.3 13D28 is the third version of the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta that has been released to developers. The second build, 13d21, was released only a week ago. It has been almost a month since Apple made the original 10.9.3 beta available to developers.

With the 13D28 build, Apple is pushing developers to work on graphics drivers and audio. To this point, the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta includes support for 4K displays, offers Retina display resolution settings, and adds 60 Hz support to the Macbook Pro with Retina.

In other Mac OS X Mavericks news, Internet advertising network Chitika recently reported that OS X Mavericks has been adopted by 40 percent of U.S. and Canadian-based OS X users since it was released back in October. However, those numbers have varied slightly from one stat tracker to another, with Net Applications indicating that adoption was at 45 percent in February.

It’s currently unclear when the final version of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 will be released to the public.

The upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D was just benchmarked ahead of its release, but it might be too early to fully trust these scores.

Although the CPU failed to impress in these synthetic benchmarks, the real test is still yet to come: We need to see the Ryzen 7 5800X3D perform in a gaming setting.

I found the best Prime Day deal on a tablet hidden beyond Amazon

Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch, stylus, and keyboard.

A good tablet can take your productivity to the next level, but a boring one will find a niche use and eat dust on a table or couch for most of its time. I love iPads and have been pushing them – as far as I can — to act as my primary computing machine for nearly half a decade now. It has never managed to replace a proper laptop, like a MacBook Air or a Windows machine.

Why not buy a Windows laptop, you might ask? Well, Windows-powered tablets, especially those Surface devices sold by Microsoft, are pretty expensive. I love the new 12-inch Surface Pro, but at $799, it felt like a steep purchase despite its impressive specifications.
