    MBPtb PowerNap - Do the fans ever come on?

    Wondering if the fans ever come on during power nap, or if the comp builds up heat during the process? Because I typically keep my MBP in a case Im concerned about excessive heat or the fans sucking air and blowing out air against a case wall. Is there anything to be concerned about? Thanks, G

    2016 Macbook where is the new mac smell?

    It could just be me but with every new mac product I've purchased over the years there was this distinct new mac smell. However, I just got the new Macbook pro 2016 and the smell isn't there. There's actually a slightly bad smell to it. Is it just me or have other owners noticed this?

    Keyboard Backlight Issues (?)

    I am the owner of a 12" Rose Gold MacBook (early 2016) and I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (late 2016). However, I've noticed that the keyboard backlight on the MacBook is much brighter than that on the Pro. Has anyone noticed this, or is it just me?
