    WWDC 2021 disappointment (then realization)

    As someone who is really looking forward to the 13/14 inch m2/m1x MacBook Pro, the rumors that it might be announced at WWDC were exciting to me, and convincing. When Apple did not announce the laptop I really want, I was honestly pretty bummed. But then I realized, or just remembered that it's...

    Heat on bottom of New MacBook Pro 13" 16/i5/1 T ($1995 model)?

    Our new 13" MBP arrived last night. I didn't have much time to spend with it other than setup, but what struck me is how warm the bottom seemed without any stress being placed on it. It wasn't uncomfortably hot, just warm in the area near the hinges (maybe 2 or 3 inches wide)--considerably...

    Blackmagic eGPU vs internal Vega 20 in MBP

    Hi, I am one of those early adopters of the 2018 MBP i9 with 560x cpu. I have a 5k monitor which I use frequently in 5k aspect ratio. I have noticed that most things I do with my 560x model MBP work adequately at native resolution 2560 x 1080, but when I go up to 5120 x 2160 everything just...

    Am in honouring my consumer rights? (Opinion)

    So, after owning my MBP 15 inch touch bar for just over a year. Using it daily for photo/video editing. It got sent in for repair and has already needed a new motherboard and ports.

    Connecting 2 Cinema Displays to 13" 2012 MBP

    I've done some research online and even got ahold of apple support, but didn't get any definitive answers. Is there any way to connect 2 cinema displays to my MPB (last of the non-retinas) simultaneously? Both displays are non-thunderbolt, use mini-dvi and only have usb ports on the back. I...
