    Macbook pro 2017 cpu fan (no touch bar) & stuff

    So I went to the apple store to pick up a 'MacBook', but was convinced not to by an apple store employee who claimed that the MacBook Pro also is a fanless computer model? Could it be that she was wrong, I've done some searching and I think it has a single fan in the back. Also has anyone...

    Early 2015 13inch Fan Question

    Recently my Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) fan has been making a "whirring" noise when running. I tested the speed of the fan and it's at 1297 RPMs, which I believe is a tad under the minimum running speed but could be wrong. (Feel free to correct me on this). As it isn't running on...
