    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 Some say their products are outdated.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...

    Need Advice on tMBP Specs… Still Undecided!

    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...

    Phil Schiller Says 32GB RAM on New MacBook Pro Would Have Required Battery Compromising Design

    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...

    Apple using old parts to repair...

    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...

    Doubts regarding MacBook Pro 13"

    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...

    13" 2016 MBP runs hot

    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...

    Discounts on the last-model MBP's?

    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...

    OS X Diablo II - MBP late 2011

    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...

    The real reason Apple limited the new MacBook Pro to 16GB of Ram

    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...

    Dream: Apple Makes Amends with 17in Pro

    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...

    2016 Maxed BTO 13" MBP or Maxed BTO 27" iMac??

    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...

    2016 MacBookPros for Gaming

    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...
