Hello fellow mac users I got my first unibody macbook pro last week off eBay for a great price! I got the 17 inch version because I prefer a bigger screen size for what I do. Everything works as it should but I recently noticed the bottom case likes to bend and flex in the middle which I don't...

Do you think that Apple will ever make laptops with a screen larger than 15 inches in the future? They used to have a line of 17-inch screen MacBooks some years back, and I don't really know why they stopped making large laptops. o_O

Hi everyone, I have a 17" MacBook Pro model number A1229 that I'm trying to fix up for my grandpa to use.

I've got a 17in MBP from 2009 or 2010. Recently it just crashed, turned off, and then wouldn't load up again. I took the hard drive out and my other computer diagnosed the hard drive as having failed. Got a new hard drive, fresh install of OSX, it works ok until I taxed the system (about 15...

In an alternate reality, Apple listens to creative pros and introduces a 17in MacBook Pro. What would the machine (realistically) be? My wishlist. Five hour battery is fine. Power cord is normal. Real, killer PRO GPU. User memory slots to 64GB. Return of ports (for now). Real, PowerBook...
