    Other Macbook pro: Fixing loose/wobbly keycaps

    It's not a well-known issue, but there have been a few reports of macbook pros (2010 - 2015) having loose or wobbly keycaps. Now this isn't something you would really notice unless it bothered you (especially since you would acclimate to it over time), but since I couldn't find any information...

    After deciding and think about it, I bought AppleCare+ for my MBP 14"

    I recently bought MBP 14" and was undecided if AC+ was worth it, after researching many internet pages and YT videos one thing was clear, if your MacBook costs ~$1000 is not worth it, if your MacBook costs ~$2000 is totally worth it. Previously I had MBP 13" (Early 2015) and never needed any...

    M1 Max 16 inch, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD: Best laptop I've ever had (working in academia, data heavy)

    I've had the 16-inch M1 Max for 9 months now and working on this device has been a true pleasure every day so far. Sharing my experience below. I traded in my Macbook Pro 2015 which lasted me 7 years (I'd say one of the best laptops Apple ever made). Apple still gave me $480 for it, and I hope...

    Could Apple get sued for SSDgate?

    You may already know that Apple uses 1 single NAN chip in their M2 MacBooks. However, this comes at a huge cost in performance. The 256 GB SSD model on the M2 performs WORSE than the M1 models. That is what SSDgate is. Apple also makes the claim that the M2 MacBooks are faster, but they give...

    Resolved RAM Usage, Swap Files, SSD Degradation...

    There have been a lot of posts on the above subject scattered throughout the Apple Silicon, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro fora and so I decided to delve deeper into the close to 9-year-old 512GB SSD of my heavily used MacBook Pro that has 16GB RAM.

    MBA M2 has stronger hinges than MBP 14" M1Pro

    I had my MBP 14" for about 2.5 months. Today arrived my new MBA M2, instantly noticed the stronger hinges and more sturdiness feeling compared to the MBP 14". It's me or is a placebo effect?

    Macbook pro ssd weight

    Hi. I am looking to buy a Macbook pro 14 and I was wondering if there is a weight difference between 1Tb and 2Tb storage... (would the 2Tb feel heavier or is the difference negligible?) I guess it depends on the SSD type. I tried to look it up but couldn't find the information...

    Per usual, 54 days after my standard warranty came to an end, my touch bar decides to quit working. It is not showing up on system report, activity monitor, or in keyboard preferences, and running a diagnostic gives me the code DFR001 (Touch Bar) - I even took off the back case and nothing...

    MacBook Pro 2021 , 16GB , 1TB hard drive. John Lewis have it at this price with free Apple TV+ for 3 months. Any chance they may lower further when the M2 air is out or should I pull the trigger on it now ?

    Buying Advice: M1 MacBook Pro VS 16 in MBP 2019 (Intel)

    I am trying to decide if I want to get a M1 MacBook Pro 16Gb ram or to get a 32Gb 16 in MBP 2019 as both of these machines are around the 1500 price bracket used and seem to satisfy my requirements. On one hand, the 16 inch 2019 seems great because I currently use a 2015 15 inch MBP and I like...
