    Do MacBooks have ‘moisture detectors’ in the charging port like iPhones do?

    If the charging cable is a bit wet or if the charging port on the iPhone is a bit wet, iPhones tell you to remove it and plug it later. Does this happen with the MacBooks too? This is a very good integration that I appreciate it, because with these charging ports/cables sometimes they can get...

I decided a little while back that it was time to buy a board off of eBay to see if I can get it working. So, I buy an untested board for 200$...

    MacBook Keyboard Layout Poll

    I’m from The Netherlands and here and in many European countries, you can only buy the US English (original) keyboard layout from Apple. I much prefer the longer Shift and Enter keys compared to the shorter ones on the International layouts. I also like the text better compared to the symbols...

    What was your ‘estimated delivery’ for a 16GB model and when did it actually get delivered?

    in my case it said ‘from this date to this date’ and then after placing the order it says only one date.. Did yours deliver before or exactly on the day specified?

    Has a battery charger utility/manager for Mac laptops (PPC or early Intel) ever existed?

    This question seems kind of far-fetched, but I have to ask nevertheless, especially considering the prevalence of Li-ion batteries being prone to damage (including swelling) or failure, when left plugged in to a charger at maximum charge for extended periods of time. Also, considering the...
