    Considering switching to M1 Mac Mini from 13" MBP 2018

    Hi, I am currently running a 2018 MBP 13" (TB Base with 8/256GB) and it's so sluggish it with an external display (even 1440p along with internal) with just 8GB of RAM. Planning to switch to a Mac mini M1 with 16GB as my laptop always runs docked at my desk all the time. I got a good deal from a...

    MBP 2018 display issue

    Hi! My 2018 13 inch MacBook Pro has a display issue very similar to the 'flexgate' problems. The colors are distorted, but when the lid is at very low angle, the problem disappears. So, I guess it is still problem with display cable. Apple apparently did not solve it properly. There is also...

    Upgrading from 2009 MBP

    Hey folks. I'm upgrading from a 2009 MBP that I hardly use anymore because it's gotten quite slow (my own negligence) and has gone through way too many battery cycles. I'm debating between the new Air and latest 13" MBP with or without touch bar, but having been out of the loop for some time on...

    Current MBP chip design flaw

    I just bought a refurb 2018 13" MBPt (i7 16GB 512), then saw Louis Rossman talking on YT about a serious design flaw to the graphics chip, which places a high voltage (backlight) pin directly next to a data line connected to the main CPU. Any voltage jump from the 40-50V line doesn't get...

    MBP upgrade RAM or CPU for web dev

    Hi everybody :) I’m about to purchase a MacBook Pro 13” without Touch Bar and as the title says I have this doubt, for a web developer (full stack if that matters) what is the upgrade that makes more sense? 16Gb RAM or the i7 processor? Knowing that I can’t afford both ..D’uh :rolleyes: Thanks

    macbook 2018 unexplainable bluetooth issues

    Hi, Since buying the 2018 mbp 13" (only slightly bigger than my donger, no joke ;)) I have begun seeing unexplainable bluetooth issues that were not present in my late 2013, 13" model. My magic keyboard / trackpad gets random disconnections or latency. My non-apple bluetooth speakers crackle...
