    What has been your best deal on a Macbook (any model)?

    Just curious, what have been the slickest deals you have ever had on Macbooks of any type? For example, you picked up an MBP for $1500 and sold it after 3 years for $1500 or you got a $2000 MBP for half that or something like that? Not looking for specific answers to anything other than some...

    How do you usually sell your MBP with the highest price?

    - Where do you sell it and get the most bucks? (Selling on selling service means you'll lost 50 to 60% of the device value compared to ebay) - What are the precautions to do when selling? - How long does it usually take to sell one? - What are the tips, strategies and tactics? - Anything I need...

    2010 13" MacBook Pro 7,1 RAM

    My sister has a 2010 13" MBP model designation 7,1. This is a unique model in that it can use 16 GB RAM instead of the 8 GB that is standard for this MBP line. Right now her computer is nearly unusable it is so slow. I checked her system profile and she only has 4 GB RAM and is running...

    Is Apple Forcing us to Purchase USB C Devices?

    Apple has removed the traditional USB ports on the MacBook Pro, and the MagSafe charging port, and replaced them all with USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. Does that mean everyone who orders a MBP must buy a usb c adapter? If you hate the C port, comment "1"; If you like the C port, comment "2". Just...

    Macbook GPU kernel panics resolved after Sierra update?

    Hey Folks! I was hoping someone with more knowledge than me knows what they did in the Sierra update that got rid of some GPU issues? I have a mid-2010 MBP 15' i7 and a couple years ago it would go into kernel panic every 20 minutes or so on yosemite. I had to give up on it because it was out...

    Buying Help: 2016 MBP Upgrade from 2012 MBP

    I've got a 2012 15" MacBook Pro (Non-Retina) and I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to the new 2016 models. I'm a commercial photographer and often have to shoot tethered to show clients what's going on, I find tethered shooting painful and often suffer slow imports to Lightroom & Capture...

    I love my MBP but..... (does the 2015 models have the same GPU issues that the 2011 does?)

    Hi all, My first and current MBP is an early 15” 2011 model which has the infamous GPU issues. Mine has failed 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years and when it went again last week I decided I have got my moneys worth and can’t justify another $600 to $700 to get it repaired in the knowledge that...

    Mac Book pro 13 inch - replacement power cable

    I would like to purchase an extra power cable for my MBPr to leave in my home office. I don't need the extension cable. Can someone recommend a suitable brand where I don't have to go the expense of the Apple brand? Thank you.

    Use cases for iPad if you own latest MBP?

    Since getting the latest MBP, I have stopped using my iPad Air. Does anyone use the two in conjunction, or can think of situations where the two could be used together in a workstation? Thanks.

    Anyone have any idea? I understand that Apple is no longer manufacturing them, hence supplies are limited.

    Metallic vibration from 2016 MBP 15"

    My new 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with touch bar makes a metallic vibration sound when I tap firmly on the chassis. It even makes the sound sometimes when I am angrily typing. There's nothing moving about inside when I move the laptop from side to side. I made a short video of the sound here. Would...

    Is it possible to damage the trackpad by pressing hard

    Sure, the Force Trackpad doesn't really click. But it's not solid either. It flexes under pressure, instead of moving on a hinge - like non-force models do. And since it's made out of glass, does this mean you can press it too hard and break it? I'm almost scared to use the firm force press (the...
