    Dropped my mac-- flickering & broken screen

    I dropped my mac and now the screen is flickering and there is a white bar going from top to bottom. Is this fixable? If so, where is the best reasonable place to get this fixed? I hope it won't be too expensive to fix this issue.

    MacBook Pro 16 charging issues

    Hey all, I've read up on quite a few posts on the Mac charging issues but still can't seem to find an answer. OK firstly, if the power supply is 96W why doesn't the Mac charge at a high wattage? When I look at the battery health app it says its only charging at 5.2 watts, so the Mac dies...

    Apple Silicon MacBooks and backlit logo

    One of the classic things ditched by Apple with the Intel transition was the glowing Apple backlit logo on their laptops. I don't know why this was removed (probably the thin lid). But do you think this classic backlit Apple logo makes a comeback with the new Apple Silicon based MacBooks?
