    MacBook Pro Early 2006 Display Issues

    Hello, This is my first time posting in the MacRumors forums, but I have enjoyed reading especially the Early Intel threads! I have an early 2006 MacBook Pro that I got used. There appeared to be display issues, and when I plugged it into a monitor, there was no issue, so I replaced the display...

    Using/buying an external monitor- buying advice

    Hi all- appreciate your opinion on this. I'm using a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro (13"). Love it. I move all over the house. I do, however zoom often and work from my desk. For that setup I fire up my older 21.5" Imac I5 (Late 2012). Unfortunately you cannot use this particular (newer) Macbook with...

As my processing needs increase (I find my fans spinning up more frequently than ever), and as that endless desire for new tech that many of us feel grows, I am getting darn impatient for that creature of legend...

    MacBook Pro 2012 new Wi-Fi Card

    Hi. I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Unibody. A year ago I upgraded my MacBook Pro 2011 with 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and a MacBook Pro 2012 motherboard. But I did not replace the Wi-Fi card.

    Will the M1x MacBook pros be gaming worthy?

    Currently I am faced with a dilemma, which laptop to buy. I need a laptop that I can run all my code and game on it for fun. I sold my gaming console because realized, I could get a laptop like the G15 or Blade 14 5900hx, and if will probably perform better then my ps4 pro. But Apple is in my...

    I brought me and my father new macbook pro s in 2017. In the recent months (Aug 2021) BOTH laptops have lines on the screen!!! This is a obvious design default and we have recieved no help from apple, only the option to pay £700 for repair which is rediculous. I've never had such a bad product...

    Any idea what happened to my mouse pad?

    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I haven’t used it for a very long time (had a baby which kept me busy) and when I have come back to use it the mouse pad looks like this? The tracking or movement registers still but the touch click does not. Everything else seems to be working fine and I have...

    2016 Macbook Pro 13" w/ Touchbar - horizontal line "glitches" on screen - known issue?

    Tried searching but found nothing on the internet. A few times a day, my 2016 Macbook Pro 13" with Touchbar (8/512) will show this horizontal line on the screen, one line about 0.5-1" tall, for less than one second. I can't get a picture of it because it's too rare and disappears too quickly...

    Choosing MacBook Pro

    I'm gonna buy MacBook Pro but should I wait? MacBook Pro M1 16GB 512GB seems great for me. I'm a high school 12th class student and interested in software development. I believe this MacBook can go 4-year or above life. So, is there an alternative to this MacBook? or should I buy this?

    Safe to use 96W USB-C power adaptor for MagSafe2 2015 15” MacBook Pro

    My friggin’ cat has chewed through my MacBook Pro power cable for the THIRD TIME! My MacBook Pro is a mid-2015 15” Retina, which takes a MagSafe2 connector. The standard Apple power brick for this model is 85W (18.5v / 4.6A). I’ve had this idea that I could use one of the newer Apple USB-C...

    Which web browser consumes the least amount of CPU + energy?

    I've used Chrome, Safari and Edge. Apple told me Safari is best but I'm not seeing that since my 2020 MBP with 16gb of RAM turns it's jet engine fan on much of the time. What have you found to be the most energy efficient browser for your Mac?

    Hi everyone! So with the rumor of the new macbook pros getting major display updates, do you think this will include a 120Hz display. I know that the new Ipad pros received the mini-led upgrade and I am kind of hoping that that can trickle up to the MacBook pros. Are there any credible rumors or...

    Help: Replace battery with non standard lipo battery

    I recently got a macbook pro from a friend due to it no longer having a working battery. I have tried to fix the battery to no luck, and don't want to buy a new one.
