    HELP! MacBook Pro restarts when in sleep mode.

    Please help! I’m no techie, but have tried as many possible fixes as I could find in forums to try and resolve this issue. My 2017 MBP (running Mojave 10.14.3) randomly began restarting every time it was in sleep mode — whether I closed the lid or left it open. I’ve since unchecked the box...

    I have #MacBookFear

    I'm well overdue for a new laptop, but sheez, with the recent MacBook Pro keyboards and displays that both seem likely to fail and are ridiculously expensive to have repaired out of warrantee, I'm afraid to buy any recent model. A comparable Dell XPS 15, say, with what seems like an even better...

    MBP i9 running hot?

    Hi all, I purchased a MBP i9 back in November. I've noticed that doing basic tasks, such as browsing the web, the notebook gets quite warm. If i start watching a youtube video, the fans kick at full blast. I've got an i7 provided by work and i'm sure it never gets as hot as the i9. I've seen...

    Future proofing your MacBook Pro?

    So a couple of things to start. I already purchased my MBP and an external monitor so this is more an academic discussion, for me, perhaps not for others that are still in the process of deciding which options to click when ordering their new 2018 MBP. I just enjoy the banter. Second, I know...
