Hi all, My first and current MBP is an early 15” 2011 model which has the infamous GPU issues. Mine has failed 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years and when it went again last week I decided I have got my moneys worth and can’t justify another $600 to $700 to get it repaired in the knowledge that...

I would like to purchase an extra power cable for my MBPr to leave in my home office. I don't need the extension cable. Can someone recommend a suitable brand where I don't have to go the expense of the Apple brand? Thank you.

Hi All, I have been the proud owner of a flawless 2016 13inch MBP with TB (512/8/i5 2.9) for the last 2 weeks, based in Malaysia. (No apple walk in stores, just resellers). However yesterday evening, I noticed a mark on the display smack in the middle - I thought it was on the screen so tried...

Since getting the latest MBP, I have stopped using my iPad Air. Does anyone use the two in conjunction, or can think of situations where the two could be used together in a workstation? Thanks.

Hello everybody, I have the title's macbook and so far I have managed with the original battery, despite the naturally reduced performance and the "battery service" signs. However, I want to replace it and I would like to know what other options do I have apart from the "original" battery...

Hey guys, I'm in trouble! I've got a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with a dead hard drive and no OS, obviously. I do not have access to another Mac, I do however have access to Windows. I created a bootable USB El Capitan installer using Diskpart and TransMac. I've installed a 64gb corsair SSD that...

I am in advertising / marketing, and use my mac pro at the office -- but i travel often now and need to be able to edit large files, (not video) on the go. I currently am married to my late 2oo9 mbp 17" CURRENT SPECS: Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2 Processor Name...

Anyone have any idea? I understand that Apple is no longer manufacturing them, hence supplies are limited.

Since the holiday season has passed and the new MBP has been out for a while when does anyone foresee them showing up. I would guess soon. Thoughts? I remember I bought my 2009 MBP a few months after the release. I have been watching the refurb store and need to upgrade soon and debating to...

My new 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with touch bar makes a metallic vibration sound when I tap firmly on the chassis. It even makes the sound sometimes when I am angrily typing. There's nothing moving about inside when I move the laptop from side to side. I made a short video of the sound here. Would...

Sure, the Force Trackpad doesn't really click. But it's not solid either. It flexes under pressure, instead of moving on a hinge - like non-force models do. And since it's made out of glass, does this mean you can press it too hard and break it? I'm almost scared to use the firm force press (the...

How long have 15' refurbs been out of stock in the UK online store and is there any info when we can expext a new batch?

As the MacBook was Apple's first USB-C device and is roughly 1.5 years on the market, how did the single USB-C port hold up? USB-C has a pretty tight fit and the plug stays locked so it doesn't slip out and loses connection, but does it loosen with time? I've discovered that both my Nexus 5X...

I read a lot of articles about how Apple is no longer innovating, how they have lost sight of the big picture, how now all they do is incremental updates to existing designs. Some say their products are outdated. Some complain about features missing from a new product. I would like to hear...

Ok, so I love writing. It's a good practice for me, I like doing it, this is a loooooong post. I'm not really expecting anyone to read it, but there it is - my thoughts on the new MacBook Pro. It's like a review, only I'm not a reviewer, I'm just a guy posting on a forum. So, here goes...

Ok, so I immediately liked the Touch Bar, but at first I didn't use it much. However, after setting it up the way I like, now I use it all the time, and it's actually super useful. Please note, these are my personal preferences and opinions which I give in hopes of helping someone. This is not...

Hi, I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with touchbar. I am trying to use my 2010 27" iMac as an extended display. I seem to be struggling here, does anyone have a solution.

So I'm planning on buying a new 13" MBP w/ Touch Bar over the next few weeks to replace my mid 2010 model (see signature for details). The problem is, I'm still undecided on what specifications I should go for. Unfortunately, as I'm in the UK, I haven't yet been able to go and check them out in...

Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller has allegedly responded to an email from software developer Ben Slaney to further clarify why the new MacBook Pro maxes out at 16GB of RAM, noting that supporting 32GB of RAM would require a different logic board design which might reduce space for batteries...

So right now, there's a principal lawsuit going on in Denmark where a customer after having won over Apple in the consumer court, is being sued by Apple for not accepting that they repaired his "new" phone with old parts... Now I'm in the same pickle. My MBP 2011 has been running without issues...
