    Battery Health after 50 cycles...

    Hello, I use my MacBook Pro 2020 with Intel not often. I have 50 cycles and battery life 91%. A few days ago it has 93%. Can I increase battery health in some way? Should this thing bother me? Regards, Jakub

    Just a word of warning about cheap aftermarket batteries...

    We got this 2012 13" MBP that had a tired battery (unsurprisingly) so we replaced it exactly a year ago with a battery from amazon. Been working fine. The laptop was closed with charger plugged in for a couple of weeks. My business partner wanted to use it and when he opens it, he saw the touch...

    M1 MBP with 4K 60Hz display, non-clamshell?

    I have an M1 MBP. I connect it to my external display (DELL S2721QS) using a HyperDrive Viper hub. When my MBP is in clamshell mode, the external display works at 4K 60Hz resolution.

    M1 Stretch marks on the screen

    Hi guys. I'm always read the forums but never posted anything. I got an M1 last week. When I turned it off yesterday, I saw vertical stretch marks on my screen. I post a picture to describe it better. Does anyone have the same problem? Any clue what's going on? Thanks Nacho

    Hello, So I am usually the person that a lot of my friends come to when they need help picking a Mac and I consider myself pretty adept at being able to recommend the right amount (no more, no less) of what people need. I'm writing because I really don't know what to do for myself. I was using...

    Intel to M1

    Hey guys, I have a Intel i5 MBP Early 2020. Seeing the new M1s, I'm feeling kinda jealous. However, I don't want to spend much as I've invested enough in the storage and RAM of my current MBP. I did check Sell Your Mac and those sort of websites, but looking at the price they are naming me I'm...

    Considering switching to M1 Mac Mini from 13" MBP 2018

    Hi, I am currently running a 2018 MBP 13" (TB Base with 8/256GB) and it's so sluggish it with an external display (even 1440p along with internal) with just 8GB of RAM. Planning to switch to a Mac mini M1 with 16GB as my laptop always runs docked at my desk all the time. I got a good deal from a...

    Mag Safe vs Macbook Pro

    Hey So I received my magsafe charger today. Soon as I opened it, I plugged it into a thunderbolt port on my 2020 13" MBP (I removed the charger and left in the USB bank I have). The magsafe wouldn't work... It only seems to work when I remove the USB bank from the other thunderbolt port... Any...

    What about the better speakers MBP?

    Apple has transitioned MBP 13” to M1, but still sells the 10th gen 13” MBP models with the better speakers. What speakers do they now have in the M1 versions? And if the M1’s are so fast then why keep selling the Intel ones? Why keep the 13” Intel around at all?
