    Help! 2011 MBP Crash on Startup

    My wife has a late-2011 MBP (obsolete I know, but it has sentimental value), 15" top of the line processor. She rarely uses it and a few months ago I installed a new SSD and RAM. Made a huge improvement and no issues for a while with either of those. Now, the MBP is crashing at startup. It goes...

    Upgrade rMBP Late 2013 or Wait?

    I’m considering updating my Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, i5, 256GB SSD). Honestly, it still runs somewhere in fine-to-good. However, I’m starting grad school (statistics) next month and I thought now might be a good time to buy due to student discounts / incentives. Interested in...

    MBP 2013 vs MB 2017

    Hi all, I'm looking for a stopgap (perhaps one year) machine mainly for running Xcode. The choice is between a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and last year's base MacBook. Although the MBP is getting old, the stats look fairly similar (please ignore the eMac). Anything obvious...

    MacBook Pro 8,2 woes

    My friend has a MBP 8,2. It's been switching off (completely dead) all by itself, and even starts up on its own at times - ghost in the machine? Battery is charged and/or AC connected at the time. Recently I have installed a Samsung 860 500Gb SSD, and 2 x 4GB ram, and the laptop started...

    The Failure of the Touchbar MacBook Pros: Emergency Redesign Needed

    I've owned every single Apple laptop made. I'm a collector. I've used them and taken almost all of them apart. I have iBook Clamshells, a Powerbook 2400c, PowerBook Pismos and Wallstreets, MacBook Airs, and many more. So, I had a Retina MBP 2014 15". Great laptop. I used it a lot. Had the dual...

    Should I Swap?

    A friend working at Apple customer care is offering to replace my 2017 base model mbp with a new one free of charge, under the battery replacement program (w/ the excuse that they are out of batteries, while mine doesn't have any battery issues). Although I do not have any problems at the moment...

    Here's a new one?: A few months after successfully deactivating the AMD chip and using the Intel one, I ran a command-D hardware diagnostics to check memory. (check reported a bad chip with both inserted on extended testing but testing each one individually in either slot reports both SODIMMs...

    Would this work?

    So I've been tinkering with the idea of getting an eGPU for my 2014 Mini, as I'm doing more and more FCP work on it for work. It does the job now, the time to render/export isn't too bad but making this quicker would be better, right? Also, I can salary sacrifice a laptop every year so I'm just...

    Glass logo baffle "chin" cracked.

    So this happened. This is the crack next to the plastic piece that caused it because when I closed the laptop that thing was sitting there. It was obviously an accident but after doing some research I found out that Apple doesn't cover it as it is considered "accidental damage". The computer...

    SSD compatibility across 13" & 15" (late 2013)

    Hello! Could anyone tell me whether the SSD of my 13" MPB (late 2013) physically fits into a 15" MPB (late 2013)? Google search did not help, despite the fact that a website is selling a non-original SSD compatible with both models. Having a look at ifixit's videos, the original SSDs from 13"...

    Early 2011 Macbook Pro, macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Somehow a program called Clover got installed on my machine and I think it's causing some issues. I didn't install it (according to my memory), but I want it gone as it seems to be screwing around with a few things. I use my MBP in clamshell mode...
