    2010 MBP A1278 Unmounted Disk?

    Hi folks, My girlfriend is working on selling her 2010 MBP. She had an issue where it would randomly restart, so we figured we'd try to format it and then go from there. I followed Apple's instructions here. In that process, the disk was unmounted, and, with it being an older MBP, there's not...

    Q? - Hack/replacement keyboard for 2017-18 MBP?

    I did a quick search on the forums, so apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it. Has anyone heard of an aftermarket keyboard for the latest gen of Macbook Pros? I wandered through the Apple store today and tried the 15in 2018 MBP and gotta say, *sigh*. Ignoring the...

    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...

    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...
