    Has anyone tried 16GB in the Mid-2010 17" recently?

    I have the Mid-2010 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 17" MacBook Pro with 8GB and I sure would like to have 16GB in it. Has anyone actually tried this under Mojave? I don't want to blow money, as the maximum I see everywhere is 8GB.

    Apple Captured my 2015 MBP. Got a free new one.

    This just happened to me. So crazy. My 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro had the letter “I” on the keyboard stop working properly. When you push the rubber thing with a pencil, it worked. But not with the key. The Mall or America Apple store said it would be a $310 replacement of the entire top case...

    I'm looking for a reliable Macbook that I could use for coding and considering the keyboard issue I'm scared to buy an expensive Macbook Pro because I'm not a rich guy and I value my money, so I know I'll be angry if I experience those keyboard issues everyone talks about. So the choice has...

    Are 8 GB RAM enough for programming?

    Hey there. I am seriously considering getting a MacBook Pro 13" 2018. The primary use of the laptop would be for coding (front-end web development) but I'd like to dive in into iOS app development later on. With that said, are 8 GB of RAM enough to run XCODE or I should invest some more to get...

    How big is the difference between the Old and new GPU on MacBook Pro 15’?

    Just like what the title say. I’m really curious as to how big would be the difference between the Radeon Pro 560X versus the Radeon Vega?
