    MacBook Pro 16" hinge feel with hardshell on

    I have a 16" MacBook Pro with a thin JCPal hardshell case clamped on, and have noticed since recent that the hinge feels kinda loose when I close it. The screen practically closes on its own once the angle with the base is < 30°. The rest of the hinge action feels normal and solid. It holds its...

    Do Apple Certified Refurbished prices drop on old models after a newer model is released?

    I want to buy a 16-inch MBP from the certified refurb store, but I'm tempted to wait until Sept/Oct to see if a new model is being released, in the hopes that I'd either buy that one, or more likely, get the old one cheaper. Is the old (2019) model likely to be sold cheaper from Apple?

    MacBook Pro 16" CPU & GPU Temps

    I've made a few other posts previously about my MBP thermals and they seem to be a little better in regards to the IDLE temps. The idle CPU and GPU temps seem to sit at about 45-50c in Bootcamp plugged into an external monitor at 75Hz 1080p clamshell mode. With turbo boost disabled and and...

    16" MacBook Pro doesn't automatically wake up when opening lid

    Anyone else experiencing a minor issue where their 16" MBP doesn't wake up automatically when opening the lid? Pressing keys on the keyboard doesn't seem to wake it up either. The only thing that wakes up my computer up (from sleep) is pressing the physical power button. At first I thought it...

    Here's my new MBP16" making the popping sound

    Do every mbp 16" has this issue or is just a few unlucky ones? I'll return it if it can be patched which is a shame because I'm really loving this machine otherwise. It happens at any output bit rate and SMC PRAM reset doesn't solve it.
