    Late 2013 Macbook Pro Battery Life

    Hi all, I have a late 2013 retina macbook pro (13 inches) which is still under AppleCare. The issue with it is that it barely gives me 4 hours of battery life. I usually have a window of safari open with 8-10 tabs and about 2 windows of Preview app. If I take it to the service centre, it...

    Touch Bar or Not - Computer Science Student

    Hello, I have ordered a 13 inch 2.7GHz/512GB/16GB touchbar MacBook Pro, but am now getting some doubts about that touchbar. As a Maths/Computer Science student i do not think that I can make great use of that gimmicky bar (if not the contrary); I'd rather have the function keys. However, the...

    The base 13" MBP (Air successor) uses MBA components

    While everything suggested a 13" MacBook, Apple introduced a 13" MacBook Pro as the successor to the 13" MacBook Air. However, it has everything that was expected for a 13" MacBook: A 15W processor and 2 USB-C ports. Along with the 15W processor and 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports, it uses the same RAM...

    Permanent Esc key on 2016 MBP Magic Toolbar?

    The positioning of the 'cancel' button on the Magic Toolbar has been strange, but it could suggest a fixed escape key. By this, I mean one that is a software key although present throughout all functions, such as Apple Pay. The above is the most likely option, however it would be interesting...

    MBP 13' (mid-2010) 2.4 Core 2 Duo P8600 supporting 16 GB RAM under Win7?

    Hi all, I'm owning a 13' MBP Core 2 Duo 2.4 (md-2010; 7.1). As it is said by diverse sources, it will support 16 GB RAM if run under OS-X Lion 10.7.5 or later. Meanwhile, however, I'm running the MBP exclusively under Windows 7 64 Bit. Of course, Win7 64Bit definitely supports 16 GB RAM, but...

    Hi all, I have a MacBook Pro 2012 13 inch that has been acting weird lately, and I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. I've scheduled an appointment at an Apple store to see what is wrong. I upgraded my computer a few months back from 4GB to 16GB ram. I know that apple doesn't...

    Upgrade to SSD

    I know that at some point Apple made it so one could not upgrade their Macbook Pro. If I bought a 13 inch macbook pro released in June 2012 could I replace the hard drive with a solid state drive and upgrade the RAM?
