    Should I replace my MacBook Pro battery?

    I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro (15" retina, late 2013) from Apple. Right from the get go, the trackpad erratically wouldn't register clicks. So, I had to switch to taps. Had a trip to the Apple Store but they didn't find anything wrong. I later switched back to click and it seemed just fine...

    What is the difference between Late 2013 15" MacBook Pro and Mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro?

    Since I got the new MBP last year, my 2013 MBP has been unplugged hanging out on my counter. Tonight, I plugged it in for the first time to double check everything was backed up before I overwrite the HD and try to sell it. I backed up before but I'm paranoid about backups and wanted to do...
