    Battery Life Is Horrible - Macbook Pro

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 2018, i7 with 16gb of RAM. The Macbook is in excellent condition, but the battery life is so poor. I've sat here monitoring for hours in total and I've come to the conclusion that the battery drops about 1% every 2-3 minutes, which is beyond poor performance...

    2012 MBP rubber bezel damage, any solution?

    It seems rather difficult to find a nice example of this model at a sensible price, I have found a suitable one but with rubber damage above the camera, I’m sure it’s not the first one like this and I was wondering if anyone has come across this and found a solution or a workaround?

    Here's proof that Apple makes your life miserable with poor display management and doesn't do anything about it.

    There’s no denying the impact that Apple has had in computer technology for the past 40 years. And macOS is in most aspects, the best operating system available today, and it keeps getting better. At the same time, Macs are at a point in time where they are incredibly fast thanks to the M1 and...

    battery lasts longer?

    Sleeping MacBook Pro in Sleeve

    Is it okay to keep my sleeping MacBook Pro (16-inch M2 Max) inside a carrying sleeve? Will my MacBook Pro overheat? Does my MacBook Pro need to breathe when it is sleeping with the lid closed? I guess it would be safer to shut it down first, but that’s a bit inconvenient.
