    Clamshell Mode discussion [merged]

    I'm wondering if there are any issues of having a macbook pro connected to a 4k monitor in clamshell mode 95% of the time? The first concern is heat and ventilation related. I noticed on my MBP 15" 2015, it heats up and I can feel some heat on the keyboard area. We all know heat is a...

    PS4 Pro Running hot.

    I have had the PS4 Pro for a day and when laying COD WW2 it sounds like I have a private jet in the lounge. It’s clearly running a bit too hot in my TV unit and I even experience the odd stutter. What should I do? Buy a vertical stand and put it behind the TV where there is lots of room and...

    Fan sound & heating issue in MBP late-2013

    My MBP Retina, 13-inch, late 2013, 2.4 i5, 8gb RAM with extended apple care is my first mac. The apple care service is useless & very rude. My past laptops were thinkpad, the thinkpad service centre was very nice. They suggested I bring the laptop for cleaning every 6 months or 1 yr and get the...

    Cooling cyle questions

    I recently bought a 13.3 Macbook air, current model, to replace my 2010 iMac which needed repairs beyond it's value (hard drive, screen, and on-off switch which may be integral to the motherboard.)

    Which G5 quad models came with the dual pumps?

    'Cuz I'm about to buy one at a great price but the guy selling it doesn't know if it is an Early or Late 2005. The machine has no GPU nor HDD, so he can't test it by himself. Is there any identifier on the case so that I can know? Maybe the serial number? Thanks for reading. I'm topping it out...

    Using a Full Size Fan below the macbook to cool it?

    So... I used to just pointed a mini fan towards my macbook to cool it down during game sessions but it seems to not be really too effective and dust builds up super quickly. After walking down the street, I saw some box fans on sale and I got a amazing idea. I would just buy a box fan and use...

    Hey everyone! I'm pretty new here, and I have a question to ask you all, specifically those of you who have experience with the iBook G4 (even more specifically, the 12" mid-2005).
