    Macbook Pro Mid 2015 Shutting Down on Low Battery Instead of Going in Hibernate

    Is it normal for my Macbook Pro to shut down instead of hibernating when the battery reaches 0%? I've actually noticed this issue on the previous MB Pro I had as well (running latest version of Moneterey), same model Mid 2015. I reset the SMC right after the battery died and the Mac shut down...

    Screen Flicker On Login (Monterey 12.7.5)

    Howdy, I just got a refurbished MB Pro 2015 and noticed upon login the screen flickers twice before taking me into my account.

    MacBook Air 2015 (13") replacement battery? Anyone done one lately?

    my 2015 Air (13", 8gb, 128Gb) actually sat in a warehouse for three years before I picked it up in Oct 2018 "as new" (the story was they'd been bought by local govt for a project that never happened). I knew it was a risk but actually it's lasted really well into Jan 2023. The battery cycle...

    New M2 MBA is a missed opportunity.

    In my opinion, Apple's design decisions with the new MBA are a missed opportunity. Instead, they should have released TWO devices to better differentiate their product line while covering more ground - as is, too many people of too many different stripes will be underserved, and Apple's product...

    11.5 still laggy on Early 2015 MBP?

    I’m on Mojave ATM. I tried Big sur 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4. They were all laggy on my MBP 2015. The animations were choppy and nowhere near as smooth as Mojave. I did clean installs everytime. I really want to update to the latest OS, but not if it makes my Mac slower. Anyone with 2015 MBPs on 11.5?
