    What are some of the best older MacBook Pro models that still hold up today?

    I'm looking for a used MacBook Pro and have been doing some research. I know the models up to 2012 can be upgraded (RAM), I've also seen people say that the 2015 15" models are great because they have a lot of ports, I've seen a few on eBay with the i7 and 16gb for ~$300. I've also read that...

    Upgrading MBP 16' 2019 i9 9880H to M2 Max? Or wait for M3?

    Hello - I'm new to the forum so apologies if there has been discussions/threads about this already. I have a 2019 16" MBP (2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 9880H, 32GB RAM) and I am an interior designer so work a lot in SketchUp, V-Ray, Adobe Suite and AutoCAD. I understand most of these programmes...

    Black please!

    I think it is time for Apple to move on (or back..) and offer us a truly, deeply, enormously desired, Black Macbook Pro. I don't mean the blue midnight option on the MBA, nor the shiny Jet Black which was available on iPhones. What I want is a real matte black aluminum Macbook, let me even pay...

    Repair delays - anyway way to expedite?!

    I put my MacBook Pro M1 into repair on the 3rd January at Sydney Apple Store due to the keyboard failing. Was told it would be completed by the 11th January (simple top section replacement) so I figured it was worth doing so I could have it for the rest of my stay in Aus until the end of the...

    M1 MAX or M2 MAX? Need an advice.

    Hi guys! I don't know what to do. I found a really great bargain on a lightly used Macbook M1 MAX 64 GB 10 CPU 32 GPU - 5 battery cycles, used a couple of times. I use the laptop mainly for editing 4K videos. Today the M2 MAX came out. Let me recalculate for you how the prices look like in...

    Water damaged Macbook Pro screen (working / MBP 16" 2019)

    Hi, I have spilled some lemon water on my Macbook Pro 16" 2019. I have fixed the keyboard (some keys were sticky and backlight did not work). The water got on the display too sadly. The Macbook has been sitting next to a dehumidifier for over a week now. The screen got much better but it still...

    Upgrading 2006 17" MBP to M1?

    Hey, I know this looks like a stupid question but it's something I've genuinely been curious about. I have several 17" MBPs from 2006 that are pretty much useless due to their internal hardware, but I really love the design, size, and keyboard of those pre-unibody Macs. I was thinking of...

    Are MacBooks with Apple Silicon affected by "flexgate"?

    In Internet there are mixed opinions about whether MacBooks with Apple Silicon chips that have the 2016 MacBook Pro exterior design (MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13" M1/M2) are affected by the fatigue present on the display flex cable due to opening and closing the lid, so I would like to ask...

    MacBook Pro Early 2006 Core Duo to Core 2 Duo Upgrade

    Hello, Yesterday I made an experiment. I tried to put Core 2 Duo T7200 onto a MacBookPro1,1 820-1993 logic board in place of the original Core Duo T2500. The result is successful! In the future maybe I will try to put a faster CPU like T7600. It's the fastest Merom CPU available and Penryn...

    Long time reader, first time poster. I've been diving down the rabbit hole of ways to make my old Late 2011 Macbook Pro useful. I had it running on Ubuntu 20.04 before the dGPU did what the dGPU's do on these machines, and I got something else. It went into storage for a while until I pulled it...
