mbp

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...

Does anybody know what version of DisplayPort the new 2018 mbp supports (particularly the 15” high end)? 1.3, 1.4? I can’t seem to find this info. On that note can anybody tell me what DisplayPort version the current 2017 model supports? Last I heard mbp only supported dp 1.2. I read that...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello, I have two Asus VS278Q-P 27' Monitors that I would like to use as external displays on my MBP. I would love if there was just a cheap thunderbolt adapter that I could hook to monitors too. I have found the following thread...

Please, any experts out there at interpreting an error report? My MacBook Pro Mid 2015 High Sierra powers off unexpectedly even when power lead is connected. And sometimes only boots on second or third attempt. Error report is for when it powered off.... Any ideas please how you would...

Hi Everyone, Need some help with an issue I'm having with a Mid 2012 15" MBP. My 5GHz channel is setup to use channel 144 for wifi. This channel gets the best speeds and signal in my apartment so I don't want to change to another channel. The issue is, the channel doesn't show as a supported...

Sorry if this is a recurring question, but trying to get people's opinions rather than a 'solution'. I have an early 2011 MBP which is becoming increasingly slow (loading programmes, scrolling through large albums of photos, system struggling when carrying out larger tasks). I am assuming my...

Quick question please. How do the proccessors compare to each other MBP 3,1 GHz Quad‑Core Intel Core i7 vs the iMac 4,2 GHz Quad‑Core Intel Core i7 (how would I feel the difference in performance? I am not sure to measure or find out the difference...) MBP 3,1 GHz Quad‑Core Intel Core i7 vs...

Heya I need helping on finding the right gear. MBP vs iMac 27” please I am a Musician/DJ/Producer. Sometimes I do for fun Videos and Photos... My initial thought was to get an iMac 27” with the following setup doing an upgrade on the SSD (512gb) and Ram (8GB). 4,2 GHz Quad‑Core Intel Core...

I have seen a few posts about this, and i am just adding this to the pool. I have slowly started noticing clear screen discolorations on my late 2016 Touchbar 15" macbook pro. If i take the text editor and go fullscreen i see some blue areas randomly scattered across the screen. Here is a BW...

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...

I'm in the process of deciding between a new non TB MBP or a TB MBP 13inch (i connect to external monitors most of the time) to replace my mid 2012 MBP that has finally died. I'm after one that has two Thunderbolt 2 (mini display port) ports along with a USB3 port as thats what i currently use...

Hey guys, I am trying to figure this out, but can not find the answer anywhere. I am going to buy the new 2017 MBP 15 and I will be connecting two external monitors to it. (Not the LG one that is available from the apple directly). The idea is to connect one directly to MBP via USB-C and the...
