    Quality issue(s) with Smart Keyboard folio?

    Hi, for little over 4 weeks I own a IPP 12.9 and SKF. Due lockdown, I‘ve only used the SKF in house. However, there is already serious wear on the keyboard. Do other also experience this? I expect to have a faulty SKF as I also experience frequent keyboard disconnects. Will see if this can...

    Is the base MBP 2020 worth getting over any MBA 2020 just for the cooling system?

    Hi all, I’m reading so much conflicting information across the internet about the thermals on the MBA and if/how it affects performance and overheating etc. I think the MBA probably fits my requirements as a light-ish user, but that cooling system really concerns me in terms of longevity. The...

    Macbook Pro 2020

    Hi, I'm new here so there might be some missing information. I just got the new Macbook pro2020, and I like it. Except for the fact that it keeps overheating. I had a mac air 2012 before this. And that overheated less than the pro2020. So, is this a general problem for all pro2020. Or am I the...

    MBP 2020 13” 10th Gen - “Meh”

    The Verge is thoroughly “Meh” on the whole thing. So so (not great battery life), lousy webcam, outdated form factor (not a bad thing, but far from innovative at this point). https://www.theverge.com/21256520/apple-13-inch-macbook-pro-2020-review-keyboard-specs-price-features

    2020 MacBook Pro vs 2020 MacBook Air

The MacBook Air intel is 10th gen but the pro is only 8th and same with the MacBook Air RAM is faster then the pro in the base model. I need the laptop for university...

    Better benchmarks in an Acer??

    https://www.pcworld.com/article/3542609/the-1799-macbook-pro-13-vs-the-650-acer- Does a $650 Acer run circles around the $1,799 2020 MBP? It might. I know it runs windows...but I remember when Apple built MBPs which could never ever be compared to any budget windows machine. The more I see...

    MBP 13" 2020 - i5 or i7

    Looking to get those 2020 MBP 13 that were just announced. Been waiting a couple of years already as I value the keyboard and the escape key way too much to have settled for the previous iteration of MBP. And the 16" is too big for me. So, today, finally, my (our ?) calls to "make the MBP 13...

    MacBook Pro 16" clicking sound bottom case

    Hi there, I recently got my MBP 16'. When I rest my palm on my case it makes a creaking sound when even the slightest bit of pressure is applied to the wrist/palm rest area. With me it is on the left side next to the trackpad. You can try it yourself by pressing slightly on the mentioned area...

    Will there be a MBP 16'' refresh in 2020?

    First of all, this is my first post so I'm very happy to participate in this community! I know this topic has been already on the forum, but after all the CV19 events and the many hardware issues that the MBP 16'' seems to have, do you think it is possible that Apple announces a refresh (better...

    iMac redesign mock up

    I feel like this will be divisive. Anyway, I had too much time on my hands (for obvious reasons), so I mocked up a 32 inch iMac and/or iMac Pro redesign. A few thoughts: I moved toward the geometric/utilitarian/monolithic design language of the Mac Pro/XDR, which I'm sure won't appeal to...

    MBA i5 or i7?

    I wonder what the differences are between the i5 and the i7 CPU in the new macbook air. 1.1ghz with 3.5ghz boost Vs 1.2 with 3.8ghz boost. Are those numbers the only difference? Or does the i7 have more threads or other benefits? Other question: What is the model number on the Iris Plus...

    Need advice! Resale value/upgrade concerns

    In November 2018 I purchased a refurbished 2018 13' MacBook Pro w TB. I knew about the keyboard issues but I needed a computer to start school. So now with the mysterious 2020 14' or 13' MBP with no butterfly keyboard on the horizon, I'm wondering about a few things. I know that when this new...

    2020 Macbook Lineup Predictions

    I've been considering what the 2020 MacBook lineup could potentially look like given that Apple is pretty much guaranteed to give the entire line the magic keyboard treatment. This is what I have so far: 13 inch MacBook Air - 128 GB SSD - 8 GB RAM - same bezels - magic keyboard - 2 USB-C...

    iPad Pro New Ipad Pros in 2019? Yay or Nay.

    We're quickly aproaching iPhone time, and word is we will be getting new Pro's this year. Personally i hope so, cause i'm without a iPad at the moment, and been through the pros but the bending issues make me too paranoid to use them normally. I dont want to spend 1000 plus dollars on a device...
