    18 inch MBP?

    Hey everyone, I was thinking today whether there would still be appetite for a bigger MacBook Pro, i.e. an updated 17 inch like the one from 2006-2011. I personally never owned that monster, but having recently bought an M1 Pro 16 inch MBP, I can't help but think that an even bigger MBP with...

    Can I fast charge my 2019 16" mbp with a 140W brick and third party USB-C 3.1 cable?

    The 2021 MacBook pro 16inch model can fast charge with the 140W brick using the USB-C to MacSafe cable because it's USB-C 3.1. Is there any combination of bricks and cables that will fast charge my 16" 2019 MacBook Pro? The Apple tech support chat guy said the 140W brick with a USB-C cable would...

    Resolved Recommended way to physically block unused ports in MacBook Pro

    Hello. My 16" MacBook Pro will be arriving soon. In preparation, I'd like to get some advice on covering up ports that I will not be using, primarly to avoid collection of dust. I could use tape to block the unneeded ports. But for want of a better solution, is there such a thing as 'empty'...

    MBP 16" (2019) base model vs MBP 14" M1 base model

    Hi! I have MBP 16' (2019) i7, Radeon 5300M. And I'm curios, should I change it for MBP 14 M1 base model. I can't find any comparison videos or benchmarks for these 2 laptops. My MBP 16' is good enough, but due to this issue, I decided to switch my MBP to M1 new models. What do you think?)

    FINALLY upgrading, but can’t decide between 14/16” (sorry)

    I currently still have a 2014 (!) rMBP (15.4”) and have help off for years thanks to the crazy keyboard situation, then the tease of Apple custom chips, then M1 which was exciting but honestly stopped due to the same terrible webcam, among other little things. With the new M1 Pros, I’m finally...

    Issues with ultra-wide LG 38" external monitor and MBP 16" (2019)

    I recently purchased an LG 38WK95C monitor and I am pulling my hair out trying to get a reasonable resolution. The monitor's native resolution is 3840 x 1600 @ 75Hz. When I connect with USB-C, the "default resolution" comes up as 1920x800 @ 60Hz. Looks nice but half the resolution I want and...

    MBP Running Hot When Asleep

    Hi all, I recently replaced my MBA with a 16" MBP. I'm having a problem with it running hot when in sleep mode. It doesn't matter if I just close the lid or manually put it in sleep mode. I don't run any heavy programs, the most I do is play The Sims 4 on laptop mode with a lowest settings...

    MBP 16" not connecting to display via usb-c to DisplayPort cable

    I have an MBP 16" 5500M 4GB, and I used to connect it through hdmi and the apple hdmi adapter. I wanted better refresh rate as my monitor can go to 1440p 144hz, so I decided to get an usb-c to Displayport cable, but unfortunately, my monitor won't recognise any input. I tested the cable with my...

    2019 16" boot-loop

    This is a weird one. I reset my SMC earlier today and now my macbook can't boot. I can see apple logo, but not the loading bar. It may blink red, show a red line on screen (horizontally) or as most of the time it just simply dies & chimes again. I've tried PRAM/NVRAM reset, SMC reset, etc...

    16" MBP uneven brightness

    Hey, I just got my new MacBook Pro today and I noticed a darker area in the screen, it's only noticeable when you have a white image on screen (like most forum webpages), besides that the screen looks amazing and I'm quite happy with the performance. I was wondering if this kind of unevenness...

    MBP 15” 2013 coming to MBP 16”

    Thinking now is the time to upgrade my port-tastic Late 2013 15” MBP to the 2019 16” model. Has anyone done a similar upgrade? Until now I was quite happy with the ‘13 model but editing on Lightroom and Premiere has started to lag a bit, plus resell value keeps edging down. Thanks in advance.
