    Does the new Samsung SSD 860 series work on 2011 Macbook Pros?

    I'm not sure about it but will the new Samsung SSD 860 work with my late 2011 MBP? I've heard a lot of good things about the 850 series and as much as I want to buy it, I can't because the nearest shop near me doesn't have it anymore. All they have is the 860 ones and I'm very hesitant on buying...

    MacBook Air (2013) Suddenly Dead

    Hello all, I've received a 2013 model MacBook Air that does not power on or respond to anything. The story I was told was that the previous owner was using an Arduino connected directly to one of the USB ports and somewhere along the line they (The MacBook Air & Arduino) both died. I assume...

    Do you use your Macbook Pro as your only computer?

    Do you think Apple slows down Macbook Pros, similar to the recent iPhone battery scandal?

    It is now the middle of 2018 - three years after the manufacture date of my mid-2015 MBP. 'Coincidently' the MBP has suddenly begun to decrease in speed and power in the recent weeks. It's also funny that Apple provides a three year AppleCare plan. I wouldn't put it past Apple to apply the same...

    MacBook Pro model suggestions

    In the market for a MBP, just had a few questions: Is the new-style keyboard really that bad? If not, I guess I'll wait and see if anything is announced at WWDC. If it really is terrible, which model is the most recent without the butterfly keyboard? Am I right in thinking the 2015 models are...

    My hopes for the new MacBooks - upgrading from Air 2013

    I'm using a 2013 MacBook Air, and hoping to upgrade in the next six months. But the newer models feel like downgrades actually - I use standard USB daily and it's gone just like MagSafe. Also the processing isn't much improved, and batteries are worse. Don't get me started on the price. New MBP...
