So I'm planning on buying a new 13" MBP w/ Touch Bar over the next few weeks to replace my mid 2010 model (see signature for details). The problem is, I'm still undecided on what specifications I should go for. Unfortunately, as I'm in the UK, I haven't yet been able to go and check them out in...

Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller has allegedly responded to an email from software developer Ben Slaney to further clarify why the new MacBook Pro maxes out at 16GB of RAM, noting that supporting 32GB of RAM would require a different logic board design which might reduce space for batteries...

So right now, there's a principal lawsuit going on in Denmark where a customer after having won over Apple in the consumer court, is being sued by Apple for not accepting that they repaired his "new" phone with old parts... Now I'm in the same pickle. My MBP 2011 has been running without issues...

This is an excellent roundup of the tips and tricks for the Touch Bar! I bet you'll learn something new. :D

Hi all, I already searched the forum, but could not find any reply that could satisfy my doubts. I currently own a Late 2011 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz i5 and 4 GB 1333 MHz of RAM. I feel that is finally time to update this machine, but looking at the prices for the 13" that are available...

First-time poster, long-time lurker. I picked up a 13" 2016 MBP with touch bar this morning and I'm finding it runs much hotter than I expected. It's maxed out with an i7 3.3 GHz CPU. The fans don't spin up often—in fact, they've only been audible when playing Civ 6—but the keyboard has been...

I know Apple doesn't do much discounting, even of "last year's model," but is there any place you'd recommend to keep an eye on for discounted last-gen MBP's? I like the old keyboards, and I'm a journalist, so I don't need lots of horsepower. I'm kind of surprised that Bestbuy is still selling...

For those in the "ships in 3-4 weeks" block with an initial Nov 28 - Dec 6 delivery window, here's where we can all gather to know the status of others in the same window. I ordered my 15" BTO at 9:15AM PST on the 28th. Cheers!

Hey folks, New to the MR forums. I was considering downloading/buying a copy of Diablo II but I've noticed that a lot of people on the forums have encountered problems running D2 on older MBP's. Are any of you playing this game on your older MPB's? Is Battle.net still active 16 years after the...

There's been much talk and complaint about the 16GB RAM limitation (mostly from those that have no real need for 32GB and they'd complain instead about price even if it was an option) but almost no one seems to have caught the real reason Apple isn't offering a 32GB option. Ben Slaney...

In an alternate reality, Apple listens to creative pros and introduces a 17in MacBook Pro. What would the machine (realistically) be? My wishlist. Five hour battery is fine. Power cord is normal. Real, killer PRO GPU. User memory slots to 64GB. Return of ports (for now). Real, PowerBook...

Hi guys, need your advice: I can't any longer wait for test results and am about to order a 15" 16GB 512GB 460 The only thing I am still undecided: which CPU? I read that the 2,6 has 6MB L3 cache and the others 8MB. Do you expect this to have a significant impact on the performance? And if so...

I guess I check on my new MBP's delivery status about 3 times per day. What about you?

Just want to be clear - building on the Apple website, I can max out a new 13" MBP w/Touchbar or I can max out a 27" iMac for what is pretty much the same price???? And if I max out the new 15" MBP I am going to be paying about $1,000 more than the maxed out 27" iMac??? Hmmm...it really...

What do you guys think? After reading an article speaking about how $1500 PC notebooks can be found that run circles around the $2400-2800 MBPs in the gaming dept, I'm seriously thinking about changing direction and going with a MacBookAir or lessor MBR and just stick to casual gaming when...

will it be powerful enough for serious music production over the 15 inch? Hoping it lasts me 4/5 years, I'll be using logic protools etc

Certainly I couldn't any evidence of them in the Solihull store. What I did see was blank spaces where I assume the 11" MBA used to be. It appears to be a consistent feature of every new release - no demo stock. Seems we have to rely on reviews as the retail experience is becoming a joke.

so I really wanna get the 13inch new MBP, I'll be using this for music production etc. The only way I can really afford it, is by upgrading one thing RAM from 8 - 16, or CPU from i5 - i7! I'll be running logic, pro tools etc. Can someone recommend me the best thing to upgrade:) thanks

The touchpad on my 13" is already huge, but why take up double the space? So the user has no handrests anymore? I don't get it.

I have never paid attention to a Mac launch timeline before (only the phones) so i'm not exactly sure how the timeline for this launch will run. Can someone please inform me how the Mac product launch timelines typically look like based off previous year launches? For example, based on the...
