    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11" (2018) Bright Spot on Display? Will it get worse?

    I bought an iPad Pro 11" on the cheap on eBay, and it came with a big dent on the back and a bright spot on the display. I got it for such a good price ($250) that I'm willing to accept these tradeoffs. Attached are photos of these two defects. However, I'm curious if anyone has seen these...

    Can't get bluetooth dongle to 'stick' in Big Sur

    Hi there, I have a 2018 Mac Mini (i7, 16GB, 512GB SSD). The internal bluetooth is unusable to connect to my Apple trackpad (interference probably made worse by the large number of devices plugged in to all available ports). I've been happily using a BT dongle in one of the USB ports on my...

    How much is a 2018 MacBook air worth with a broken retina screen?

    Hey all! Long story short, I’ve got a great condition MacBook Air 2018 which regrettably the retina screen is completely screwed 😫 No idea how it happened, looks as if there’s a small chip in it. I’ve been quoted around £350 to repair, in which it’s not worth it as I can purchase a full...

    MacBook Pro 15" (2018) on 185 charge cycles already down to 73% battery capacity and "Service recommended"

    Some background: this was a launch-day machine that I ordered right after the press release back in 2018, see screenshot for config details. My usage pattern is that this machine is plugged in 98% of the time, and then it is mostly plugged into an external display in clamshell mode. I run some...

    iPad Pro Get the 11" iPad Pro (2020) now? Or wait until mini-LED?

    Hey all, I've been doing a ton of research on iPad Pro recently and decided to finally invest in one. I'm just facing a personal dilemma and would love to hear the Macrumors forum input.

    Mac Mini 2018 external monitor lag through HDMI

    About a week ago, I purchased the Mac Mini (i5, 8 GB RAM) and connected it to my external 4K monitor with an HDMI to HDMI cable. The input was very laggy. Then I tried connecting it to another monitor (a 2K monitor) with the same cable and it worked well. Do you know where the problem could be...

    I have a 13" 2018 MacBook Pro. I use Final Cut Pro X a LOT. I'm looking into an eGPU but am reading a lot of things about FCPX not working with eGPU that much or that the Apple eGPU (Black Magic I think) is pretty bad. I'm really new at this and don't seem to understand what would work and...

    '18 or '19 MBP: clamshell mode?

    I currently have a 2015 MBP, I use it mainly at home in clamshell mode (closed, vertical in a stand), with external display. I'll likely be buying a 2018 or 2019 MBP soon, and wondering if anyone has experience with either of these in clamshell mode; want to be sure there's no issues with that.
