    TG Pro (Lightweight) Tutorial: Stop Burning your Lap

    I filmed a short tutorial on using TG Pro for new Mac users. This app helps keep temperatures low by increasing Macs' fan rates. I've found that setting the fans a bit faster by default remains inaudible yet boosts performance and more importantly, comfort if using the Macbook on your lap...

    It took me about an hour to throw these together in Illustrator. These are purely imaginative concepts for a potential lineup of 16 inch MacBook Pros. Let me know what you think of them.

    2011 MBP not booting and blue screens

    Got a 17-inch 2011 MacBook Pro that won't boot. Tested with hard drive connected via USB to rule out bad SATA cable. Usually powers off or restarts, but when I try to boot recovery mode or a USB installer it blue screens (doesn't shut off or reboot tho). Strangely enough I can boot Apple...

    ~Last year, my old 2016 Macbook Pro got completely unusable because of the keyboard issue (it started after a few months and wasn't a big deal, then it got much worse over time), so I bought a brand new Macbook Air 2018 thinking a keyboard cover will save me, from the day one, I've put a...

    Is my MacBook Pro battery over?

    I own a MBP 13" Late 2013 (i5,8GB,512) since it release. I have read in the Apple Support page that the maximum cycle count for this device is 1000 cycles while my Mac has already 1313. Does this mean that my battery is almost over? Right now it lasts me quite a few hours without problem.

    Macbook Buying Advice

    Hi all-about a month ago, I spilled corn oil on my early-2015 13-inch MBP. It's got 2.7 Ghz, Dual Core i5, 8GB Memory, and 128GB Storage. I recently graduated college and it got me through all four years. Had the spill not happened, I probably would still be sticking with it as it wasn't showing...

    MacBook Pro 16 Outer edge (Rubber Lining) light bleed

    First and foremost, this is not the same thing as a backlight bleed issue. This is an issue, with the light leaking through the rubber lining and display. So I’m currently on my second exchange unit. My first unit had light bleeding between the rubber lining and display on the bottom right...
