    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.

    Hi All, I have been the proud owner of a flawless 2016 13inch MBP with TB (512/8/i5 2.9) for the last 2 weeks, based in Malaysia. (No apple walk in stores, just resellers). However yesterday evening, I noticed a mark on the display smack in the middle - I thought it was on the screen so tried...

    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.

    Prohibitory sign when installing El Capitan from a USB

    Hey guys, I'm in trouble! I've got a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with a dead hard drive and no OS, obviously. I do not have access to another Mac, I do however have access to Windows. I created a bootable USB El Capitan installer using Diskpart and TransMac. I've installed a 64gb corsair SSD that...

    How much longer will the 2015 MBPs be sold?

    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...

    USB-C port after extended usage?

    As the MacBook was Apple's first USB-C device and is roughly 1.5 years on the market, how did the single USB-C port hold up? USB-C has a pretty tight fit and the plug stays locked so it doesn't slip out and loses connection, but does it loosen with time? I've discovered that both my Nexus 5X...

    If you could design the next Apple product

    I read a lot of articles about how Apple is no longer innovating, how they have lost sight of the big picture, how now all they do is incremental updates to existing designs. Some say their products are outdated. Some complain about features missing from a new product. I would like to hear...

    Ok, so I love writing. It's a good practice for me, I like doing it, this is a loooooong post. I'm not really expecting anyone to read it, but there it is - my thoughts on the new MacBook Pro. It's like a review, only I'm not a reviewer, I'm just a guy posting on a forum. So, here goes...

    Touch Bar is awesome - useful tricks
