    In MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, macOS Catalina, Version 10.15.7), I see an icon on the righthand side of the menu bar. Clicking on it showed the pinwheel for a long time. Eventually it went away, but the system was sluggish. And I had to Force Quit the system to restart. The icon I am talking...

    Has a battery charger utility/manager for Mac laptops (PPC or early Intel) ever existed?

    Why Apple might add MagSafe again

    MacRumors recently published an article regarding leaked MBP schematics which included MagSafe. This is just speculation but: One reason why they might add MagSafe again is because USB-C PowerDelivery only supports up to 100W. Maybe the M1X requires a higher wattage to run at full power and...

    I have a new MacBook Pro M1, and I adore the battery - it's leap years ahead of coming from my MacBook Pro mid-2012 non-retina which lasted a push of 4 - 5 hours. I know battery technology has evolved, but how do you guys charge your MacBook Pro for the most optimum way of retaining the...

    Should I trade my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” 256gb for 2020 MacBook Pro 512gb w 16gb ram?

    Got an offer for the trade but can’t make a decision. My iPad is cellular unlocked in mint condition. The MacBook looks good cosmetically in pics from what I can tell. Processor is 1.4 GHz (up to 3.9GHz) Intel Core i5 (8257U).
