    Should I buy the MBP 16 or the rumored 14.1" MBP?

    ✅ Resolved: The 10.15.4 Supplemental Update resolved the problem. Since updating to 10.15.4 I can no longer use my iPad in Sidecar mode or over AirPlay, as the color profile rendering distorts as soon as the second display connects. Manually choosing different profiles shows momentary...

    I'm pretty disappointed with the MBP 16" battery health situation.

    So many people -myself included- report that their 16" battery health is less than 100% out of the box. Now that'd be okay if it was 99 or even 98. But for most, it's 95% or even less. Now that's all fine and dandy, discharge and charge and let it calibrate, it'll be fine and report correct...

    iPad Pro Scanning to Ipad Pro & Doc Management

    I have a 13" mbp (2016) which is in need of a new battery due to the current one swelling and causing the bottom case to bow out and Apple want cover the costs. So rather than fork out $200, I thought this might be a good time to possibly make the switch to only using my 12.9" Ipad Pro. I have...

I know that with a lot of MBP's these days they are 'un-upgradeable' due to parts being soldered in. However, I am wondering whether in the future the SSD would be upgradeable to a...
