    Running 2 external displays drags down MBP15 battery

    Wondering if others have experienced this... When I run my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2013 w/ the built-in display + iMac 27" TDM (2560x1440) + Apple Cinema Display 23" (1920x1200), the machine eventually works hard enough, runs hot enough, and blasts the fans full enough that the battery level...

I also have a 2.2GHz Mid 2015 MBP 15" w/ no dGPU that I repaired/rebuilt as a secondary. In comparing the 2...

    MacBook Pro 15 OS X 10.9.5 WIFI Dropping Regardless of Network ------------ The WIFI connection holds for between 10 and 20 minutes, and then drops.

    Upgrade to High Sierra, or Stay on Low Sierra?

    I just recently received my 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 15". It's still on Sierra. Should I stay on Sierra, or is it safe to go to a non dev version of High Sierra? I was reading of the 560 issues with waking on High Sierra, and Im not sure if that was only a beta.

    Get 15” now or slum it with a cheaper option.

    With the announcements of the intel + AMD combo and hexacore processors, I feel like I should wait for the next 15” MacBook Pro; however, I need a laptop now. Sold my 12.9 iPad to downsize to 10.5 iPad, and doing all my coding, photoshopping, schoolwork and running a business is getting tiring...

    MacBook Pro runs much hotter with High Sierra

    My 2016 MacBook Pro runs *much* hotter with high Sierra, before updating it would be around 50 Celsius when connected to two ultrafine 4k displays, now it is constantly around 80 celsius when I'm doing simple tasks. I fresh installed HS when it came out (25/9) so I don't think it is because of...

    HELP! Some helpful advice/insight would be nice...

    So I recently found a little ding/scratch right above my trackpad (not on the trackpad, but the space between the trackpad and the keyboard) on my MBP 15in 2016 model. I do have the limited Apple Care warranty thing. The scratch itself is really small (0.5-1mm) but I find it extremely annoying...

    How do I identify which display is built in?

    I got a MacBook Pro 15˝ built in 2015 (MacBookPro11,4). In order to calibrate the built-in monitor, I have to identify it and figure out if it uses a white LED-backlit for instance. I found two Terminal codes. ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6 This code...

    need advice on MacBook Pro 15 inch 2016

    So I finally got my MacBook Pro 15 inch that was BTO (2.6ghz, 460, 512gb), and it came with a chip in the aluminum. I waited almost 2 months to get this laptop. And so that means if I go and exchange it for another BTO, ill most likely have to wait again for it to come from china again, and I...

    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...

    My applications are taking hours to open and when they do they can barely function properly.

    My mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11 can be in one of two states. Either working like a dream or struggling to open most apps (when they do most can hardly function). It tends to be after a couple of hours after turning on that my macbook starts working again and then once it's...

    Hi all! I've recently been given my sisters Macbook Pro (mid 2010) 15" model as she's upgraded to a new Macbook Air for UNI. The macbook was in a bit of a sorry sight with no working trackpad, HDD was incredibly slow and charger didn't work. I've spent a while on it and since replaced the HDD...

    Would you rather see a thinner new MBP or same size?

    Personally, I'm getting upset with Apple desperately trying to make their devices thinner and lacking improvement on function. I'd rather see the new MBP have the same thickness as the 2012 model is that meant a better battery, quieter fan, and overall cooler temperature. Do you think the...
