    MacBook Pro Sales

    It's frustrating to see the MacBook Pros get cheaper and cheaper... unless you need a larger SSD! It was always obscenely expensive to get 4-8tb of SSD, but now with the discounts it's literally TWICE as much! </rant> Anyone know a workaround to this?

    MacBook Pro Mic Input Level Always High

    Hi everyone! I'm hoping to see if anyone else has had this problem. Last time I was on a FaceTime call on my Mac, the person I was speaking to mentioned it was hard to hear me because it sounded like I was on a plane. Switched to my iPhone and issue was gone.
