    Time to upgrade or wait for M4?

    I have a MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019; 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7. I want to move to a 14 inch MBP; but I'm hesitant if I should wait for M4 or just go ahead with an M3 Pro. Is still working very nicely, sometimes the fans are a bit loud and OneDrive a bit unresponsive. I'll use it for the...

    Water damaged Macbook Pro screen (working / MBP 16" 2019)

    Hi, I have spilled some lemon water on my Macbook Pro 16" 2019. I have fixed the keyboard (some keys were sticky and backlight did not work). The water got on the display too sadly. The Macbook has been sitting next to a dehumidifier for over a week now. The screen got much better but it still...

    Left speaker persistent damage, possible DC bad filtering at board? MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 model A2141

    Hi, I'm very disappointed about an issue I've experienced twice so far with a high-end and relatively new computer. In mid-2020 (6 months after buying) the left speaker of my MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 started crackling until it just simply stopped working. When my computer was opened, the left...

    16 Inch MackBook Pro -Would two external NvME drives give better transfer speeds? Should the plugged in on different sides of the Laptop?

    I am thinking of temporarily repurposing an Intel MacBook Pro as a file/ Media Server. I understand using an NvME in an enclosure is going to give the best speeds! . Would I get even better speeds if I split my applications between two smaller NvME drives? In other words I could use 2 1TB...

    I'm thinking about buying a leather case like this one https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-MacBook-Leather-Handmade-Sleeve/dp/B08LG72MLR for my Core i9 MBP16. Does anyone have experience with these types of cases, either leather or plastic? Do they keep the laptop from cooling properly? I just...

    Help! Trackpad drag lock stays on even when I turn it off

    I have a refurbished 16inch 2019 macbook pro, which i'm trying my best to transition to from Windows. I messed with the trackpad settings to mimic what i'm used to - the biggest thing for me was to enable dragging, but I do not want the drag lock. I have the "without drag lock" checked but it...

    Airdrop between devices "All photos Data" creating issues.

    When I select "All Photos Data" in the iPhone Photos App, it is asking for approval on my Mac. When I approve it, each photo is sent to the Downloads folder, and each photo within a folder of the same name (i.e. IMG_0XXX) When the "All Photos Data" is OFF, it is not asking for permission, just...

    Any definitive method to vrm modding the old 16" i9? bad results for old timers?

    Bought a 2.3ghz i9 2019 mbp for legacy purposes like old x86 plugins for logic that will probably never be updated, maybe it was a dumb idea, but it's done. Anyway, since this forum seems to be the birthplace of that mod, I've read many 2019-2020ish ideas about the mod, where to place, how...

    The ultimate update for fixing the MBP 16" Intel-based.

    Opinion based on owning a MacBook Pro 16" 2019 model bought on July 2020; i9, 16GB memory, 1TB storage. My MacBook has been a mess pretty much since I got it. I couldn't return it because I got it abroad, and even though on my local Apple service they did change the screen and consequently the...

    MBP 16 clicking noise when opened

    When I open my MacBook Pro 16, it makes a clicking noise once I reach about a 60-70 degree opening. I googled a bit and a few folks seemingly have a similar issue but within the first couple degrees of opening the lid, rather than this late. Is this something that should worry me / something I...

    Power Cycling Connected USB devices when Sleep

    Hello, I have a strange issue when my MacBook goes to sleep. My devices that are connected to my hub will "power cycle" continually. What I mean is that the devices act like they are being powered on for about 15 seconds then powered off. I only noticed it because when my DAC turns on...
