    2014 MBP 13 Ghosting, White Transparent Bar

    Needing a little advice here with my 13" MBP 2014. Turned it on one day after it sitting for 5 days only to be greeted with some pretty nasty ghosting and a white transparent bar filling about 1/6 of the screen on the right hand side. The ghosting stays even after the macbook has been rebooted...

    2017 15-inch MBP Battery Issues?

    Is there anyone else with a similar battery issue? My battery is starting to run hot and it is burning through charge quickly.

    '18 or '19 MBP: clamshell mode?

    I currently have a 2015 MBP, I use it mainly at home in clamshell mode (closed, vertical in a stand), with external display. I'll likely be buying a 2018 or 2019 MBP soon, and wondering if anyone has experience with either of these in clamshell mode; want to be sure there's no issues with that.

    Best Buy Flash Sale MBP Touch Bar $1,399 vs. MBA?

    Silly question perhaps, but was all set today to get the new MBA (loaded) for 1,399 at the Apple store, then discovered Best Buy has a flash sale of $400 off the Touch Bar MBP, honestly, to be the differences seem relatively small. Even the screen brightness I can't tell a huge difference. The...

    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.

Anyway, mine seems to be different. I booted up my 2016 15" MBP w/ TB yesterday morning to find that the...
