    URGENT: Is 8GB ram sufficient? Opinions needed :)

    Hi everyone, I have come across a very good and limited (5 units) sale for an almost new MBP 2018 with 8GB of RAM. I'd aim for 16GB, but the deal I can get is only for the base Touchbar model (but with 512GB storage). I know a lot of you guys know more about this stuff than I do, so I really...

    My thoughts on the new MacBook Air and total MacBook lineup confusion

    With the new MacBook Air making the MacBook lineup even more a mess than it was before, I thought I would share my thoughts on how to fix it. It would start with simplifying everything, with just 3 models: MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. MacBook would be similar to the 13” Pro, but the...

    New $999/1099 12" MacBook should have been released today and here is why

    Now, all of this is just my personal opinion, but I am kind of mad at Apple for not updating the 12" MacBook even if I don't own one and do not plan to. Nobody in their right mind, as another post here states right in the title, should buy the 12" MacBook right now and here are my reasons why...

    VPN Suggestions: iPhone and MacBook

    Hello! I'll be traveling to Europe soon and looking for suggestions on a good VPN that I can use on my iPhone and MacBook. I'm not the 'techiest' person, so something that I could easily login to and use would be preferred. Thank you all in advance!

    Fix? Sell? PC?

    I have a MacBook Air with a sensor board logic error. It boots up fine and is usable, but the fan is loud and the machine runs very slow. Apple says it would be $450 to fix. Could this be fixed for less, and is it worth it? I am not that thrilled with Apple products any more, but I have a...

    MacBook Keyboard Typing Wrong Letters

    Hello hello everyone, So yesterday, I was cleaning my 2012 A1278 MacBook Pro with one of those wet Clorox wipes. I must have grabbed an especially moist one because I think some of the liquid got under the keyboard, and now my p key types ";p" and the semicolon key sometimes controls the volume...

    Best bluetooth keyboard

    I’m looking for a Bluetooth keyboard. I have a muscle disease which prevents me from lifting my wrist. So it has to be something flat but i still want a little clickiness. Any suggestions?

    Smaller MacBook?

    I love the idea of an 11" MacBook or perhaps an unprecedented sub-11" device, compact notebook nirvana. Is anyone else interested in such a product? Another thought I have is replacing the headphone jack with a second usb-c port.

    Mac Book Pro 2016 Screen Issue

    Need some advice! My 2016 MBP has started showing thin horizontal lines in one corner (see pic). Ran a diagnostic on it and it came up with nothing. Any ideas what this could be and how fast it progresses, since I won't be able to bring my Mac in to service for a few weeks.

    Lubricating Rubber Seal on Display?

    Hello, I am wondering if it is a good idea to lubricate or moisten the little black seal around the edge of the display on my MacBook Pro. I wonder if it will make it last longer, because I wipe my screen daily with a microfiber cloth and I always rub the seal as well while I am cleaning the...

    Show all files that are not in iCloud

    Hey, I want to do a fresh install on my MacBook Pro. But it's the first time and I'm afraid to "forget" data. So is there a possibility to show all the files that are not in iCloud? Thanks!

    rMB not going to sleep when charging?

    Hi, I have a rMB late 2016 with El Capitan. It has been losing batt when asleep, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. I just opened it up from sleeping all night, I connect it to charge, press the power butt in order to sleep it, it wakes up, do it again, it wakes up. This is constantly, (I...

    When will Macs get better FaceTime Cameras? They're inferior to the cameras on the iPhones

    It's been crossing my mind but I find it funny that the cameras on our iPhones are miles ahead of the ones that come with our MacBooks and iMacs. You would think that the cameras would be on par or even better on the Macs because they have more room to work with. I really hope the next updates...

    Macbook 2011 motherboard replacement

    Hello, I have a MacBook Pro 2011 model, and the computer itself has the LED on button lighting up, but the screen itself and the startup noise is not happening. Is this meaning that my computer needs a motherboard replacement, or does it mean that I just need to get a new computer all together...

    MacBook Pro late 2013 won’t boot

    I’ve seen a lot of posts about boot loops and blank screens, but I’ve yet to see any posts with the problem I seem to be having. My MacBook Pro (late 2013, i5, 256GB) started acting weirdly about a week ago (since the Mojave update I think). It started with a flickering screen which would...
