Hi there.
I opened a Zip file and immediately my MBP started to became very slow. As I was not using the charger at this point and the battery was low, it turned off quickly. I then realized that this was probably a virus/malware, unfortunately.
I then connected the USB-C charger and tried...
I know that with Optimised battery charging your Mac should try to charge around 80% of the battery and then only use power adapter to run your MacBook Pro. I've a brand new M1 Pro and I noticed that while connected to an external display and power adapter, my laptop charged to 100% not around...

OVERVIEW
Some time back, I started a WikiPost for ExpressCard/34 expansion items one can, feasibly, use in their early Intel Macs equipped with an...
Okay, made a ton of research so sharing my findings here without further ado:
Disclaimer: order of numbers below doesn't mean anything. Probably the only connection is i am going from most cheap to most expensive. The main note: I am making the list with the budget in mind, meaning that we try...
This is my very last ditch effort to revive my Macbook Pro. I don't want to waste anyone's time on here, so I made sure to exhaust every other option available to me via online tutorial videos, and other forum posts. I have tried everything I can think of.
I was working as usual on my MBP last...
I'm trying to repair a mid 2012 13 inch i5 macbook pro for a family member. He was mainly complaining about two things: It was running extremely slowly and after a while stopped working altogether, instead just booting him back to a weird looking login screen every time he logged in.
This mac...
Hi all,
I bought myself a new 14 inch MacBook Pro and immediately saw the backlight bleed on the keyboard. Light shines underneath some keys while this is not the case on other keys. It is not a huge issue and also not a defect of course and I know that I am a bit OCD about this but I just...
Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for an external Keyboard for my M1 Max. I'm going back & forth between Apple Magic Keyboard vs Logitech MX Keys Mini. I'm a Photographer & Video editor. I'm new to Mac. Any recommendations between the two keyboards?
Thanks in advance,
Before I go ahead and order my 14” MacBook Pro, I’d like to hear about how your experience with 27” external displays has been.
I’ve read about some issues with external
displays and I’m wondering if the majority of owners don’t have any issues at all when running a 27” monitor. Perhaps it’s...
hi, i have seen a topic on reddit and checked my device about this issue. Mine has also misaligned black border at the bottom of display. This assymetry can easily be seen with the flash light of a smartphone. The grey reflection under misaligned part is seen with flash light. Has anyone noticed...
This is confusing. I'm a LONG time Mac user - my first Mac Plus in 1986 and dozens and dozens since. Used to sell and support Macs for a living so I like to think I know what I'm doing, but this is... baffling.
So, MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019).
Monterey 12.1
So I use the machine at work with a...
I'm considering getting a MacBook pro within the next couple years and I'm curious about peoples' thoughts about the future of the notch. I'm not super opposed to the notch in its current form, but if I could wait to get more functionality out of it (i.e. FaceID) I would. One the one hand, I've...
I own an M1 MacBook Pro for my personal use, my work gave me an M1 MacBook Air recently, and I've noticed everything on the screen of the MacBook Air is significantly larger than on the Pro model. Why is this? The screens have the same resolution size, it's kind of like the whole display on the...
would it be better for me to buy an upgraded M1 air (16gb/512gb) or a base model m1 pro (8gb/256gb)?
I don’t game or do any photo/video editing, but I want the laptop to be fast + not overheat with multiple tabs/apps open, have good battery power, and last a long time.
Also, if you had to...
I’m currently deciding between the M1 Air and 13” Pro, both at 16GB/512GB, the price difference is £235.
Unfortunately I had to return the 14” as I found out I’m sensitive to PWM at that level, so only have the option of these two. My current laptop is a mid-2014 MBP which I’ve had since...
(I’ll try to keep this as short as possible)
tldr; The keyboard on my 2018 (4 thunderbolt, $1800) MBP failed multiple times, leading to device replacement, however, Apple is offering me 13” M1 MBP (my problem with that: only 2 thunderbolt ports and $500 less than what I paid for my Mac...
Hello,
This may not be an issue with my machine but I wanted to reach out for advise anyways.
I recently purchased a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" and was troubleshooting issues with the computer, I believed that there was a bad GPU so I was trying to follow this guide...
So I wrote a post about the new M1 Pro MacBook Pro yesterday and the one thing I mentioned is how I love the hinge. It's great. However, I had some bad experiences with the hinge on my 2016 MacBook Pro (it would creak when I opened it for the first time after a few hours, it would creak when...
