    For a few years the battery on my MacBook Pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014, model number A1398, OS Catalina 10.15.7) showed as 100% full and needing a service - but it wouldn't run at all without a power connection. The battery wasn't at all bloated. I recently replaced the battery - the new...

    Backwards Compatibility - Putting my 16gb from my 2011 into my 2012

    Just upgraded my mac. 2011 to 2012. I can see why the word ‘upgrade’ might cause amusement. The new 2012 has dual boot. With Catalina and Sonoma. The person I bought from was really knowledgable in computing and macs so I am confident. My 2011 has been used to the max. I put 16gb in as well as a...

    My 2019 Intel MBP has been a mess since the beginning (less than 5 hours of battery, overheats, lags often etc) and I know that silicon chips are a true gamechanger. I am debating between MBP M3 (16GB) & MBP M3 Pro (18GB), either with 512GB or 1TB (not decided yet). My use is mostly work...
