    2017 MacBook Pro logic board failure under normal use

    I have the 2017 MBP without touch bar, with 16GB of RAM. All of a sudden, the laptop wouldn't power on or take a charge. I suspected logic board failure, and took it to the "Genius" bar for diagnostics. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with it either, but also thought it was probably...

    Just bought 2017 13" MBP with touchbar, should I return and pay +500 for 2018?

    I got 256gb 8gb ram w/ touch bar, and can return...but is it worth paying 500 extra for two cores and a few others minor tweaks?

    It seems people from around the world are experiencing a plethora of hardware faults with these new MBP's.

    Insanely high and random CPU usage

    I have a base model mid-2017 nTB MacBook Pro. For the most part, I'm satisfied, but there were a couple occasions when the fans kicked on really loudly because of CPU usage. The first major time it did this, I had maybe two applications running, and Safari maybe had 3-4 tabs. The second major...

    Hi all I Just took advantage of a massive discount on a 2016 tb mbp 13” base spec model (-30%) and after a bit of reading, I am realizing that the keyboard problems might be a dealbreaker (I’ve tried it and I don’t dislike it, my concerns are mostly about reliability) Basically I was initially...

    I haven't bought a new MacBook in so many years, but I'm now thinking of buying the new 2017 MacBook or MacBook Pro. However, before I do I've a couple of questions: Last time I checked, one was not supposed to use a MacBook in bed or on a pillow (as advised in...

    2017 or 2015 MacBook Pro, what would you do?

    Argh, so conflicted. I need a laptop. I've read so many threads I'm even more uncertain than when I began. Sorry for adding another one but I seek moral support. Or firm correction. A second opinion, and I trust this forum. I ordered a refurb 15" mid-2015 MBP, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD from Apple...

    2016 or 2017 MBP

    I purchased a 2016 MBP yesterday at Fry's Electronics on sale for $1000 but wondering if it's worth the extra few hundred dollars to return/exchange for the 2017. Coming off a 2008 Pro even the '16 is a giant upgrade but for only $300 is it worth the 2017? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Video Editing - 15' MacBook Opinions?

    Hey. I have used a 2011 MacBook Pro 15' inch for 6 years. The GPU has finally done whatever it's been doing to kill the 2011 MacBook Pros. (sidenote: if anyone knows how to fix it without the hardware repair, I'd love to hear it.) I edit video and still images. I've just been to the Mac store...
