    How to put the TouchBar to good use

    When I was watching the hello again live-stream I was hugely disappointed. I wasn't thrilled about the features they showed on the event, especially the ones with the TouchBar. All I was hearing was Emojis, Emojis, Emojis. What a gimmick I thought. And apart from that every "Pro"-user knows...

    Need some advice (13" tb or 13" ntb?)

    Been lurking around most of the time and this is my first post. I need an upgrade from my old Asus laptop and was thinking of getting either the MacBook pro 13" tb/512GB/2.9ghz/8GB or the 13" ntb/512GB/2.0ghz/8GB I am a student so I will mostly be using this for word, and presentations, as...

    The No Touch Bar 13 Macbook Version

    Lets discuss this model, I'm not keen on the touch bar thingy anyway, and in $1499 for the base model (plus shipping right now) this seems like a good option ,but what about the other inferior specs , 2.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor VS 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor at...

    Trackpad and Keyboard on 15" 2016 MacBook Pro

    I just picked up my 2016 15" MacBook Pro from the Apple Store. Here are a couple of things that are bugging my OCD/paranoia with new Apple computers: - Not all of the keys on the keyboard have the same level of "clickyness". Some give a higher pitched and more snappy click. Some feel almost...

    Returned Very Buggy 15" MBP w/ TB Today: Was Give a replacement No questions asked.

    Hi All, I received my 15" MBP (see below for specs) on Saturday, 12/5/16. As soon as I powered it on I knew it had issues: 1. The Touch ID button was loose and wobbled around in its socket. It eventually stopped working. 2. I deleted and then tried to re-add my fingerprints but the system...

    [2016 15" MBP with TB] WiFi issues after sleep

    I'm having some issues with graphics glitches which I'm discussing in another thread with others but I've got another new issue now whereby my Macbook pro won't reconnect to WiFi after waking from sleep. I thought this might be an isolated issue at my house, I rebooted my Vigor 2860AC, updated...

    2.6 GHZ VS 2.9GHZ

    I am debating whether this is worth the upgrade. How much of a differnce can I expect in launching apps, importing final cut pro projects, and multitasking windows etc. Any way you can quantify it would helf. Thanks so much!

    Late 2016 15" MBP: Three External Displays?

    After spending a good deal of time scouring Google and the MacRumors forums, it seems that the Late 2016 15" MacBook Pro might only support two external displays, but here's where it seems to get confusing: As Andrew Cunningham at Ars Technica explains, AMD's Polaris-based Radeon Pro 450...

    Macbook Pro Touch 2.9ghz, hot and 6 hour battery

    Just got my late 2016 MacBook Pro Touch 15inch w/ 2.9ghz option and upgraded GPU. So far I cycled through the battery once and am getting 5:38 hours at 99% (Looks like apple put an additional 2 cycles on battery before releasing for purchase). The below screen shot shows my battery status with...

    MacBook Pro 2016 Keyboard Failure

    My 2016 15’’ MacBook Pro arrived yesterday (as one of the first). 63 of the 64 keys work fine. But the i-key most of the time types the letter twice. I suggest you test out your keyboard thoroughly. With auto-correct it can be easy to think it works. However, my password contains the letter i...

    History of the MBP Repeats Itself...

    So today I was watching the unveiling of the 2008 unibody MBP for fun since it was in my recommended videos on YouTube, and after watching through the first half hour or so, a thought struck me. I noticed that Apple was removing a lot of ports such as FireWire and they didn't add a BluRay drive...

    720p Camera on 2016 MBP, why?

    For the life of me I do not understand why a laptop with 4 USB-C ports has a 720p Facetime Camera, probably exactly the same part used on the last gen MBP Not that I plan to use it excessively, but I assume a "Pro" machine should provide an appropriate level of video conferencing for those that...

    87W USB-C Power Adapter?

    So is the new 87W USB-C Power Adapter just block with a plug? No USB-C cable? And obviously, no extension cable correct?

    No Iris Pro on the new MacBook Pros

    Although mostly irrelevant, it is interesting that Apple have dropped the high end Iris Pro graphics in the new 15" MacBook Pros, instead going with the Intel HD 530 alongside exclusive Radeon Pro 400-series dedicated graphics chips:

    Permanent Esc key on 2016 MBP Magic Toolbar?

    The positioning of the 'cancel' button on the Magic Toolbar has been strange, but it could suggest a fixed escape key. By this, I mean one that is a software key although present throughout all functions, such as Apple Pay. The above is the most likely option, however it would be interesting...
