    OS X Mavericks on mid-2015 rMBP

    Hi everyone, since I like the older ui design more and had some time to spare I started wondering if I could get Mavericks on my mid-2015 rMBP as it has nearly the same specs as the mid-2014 rMBP. I installed Mavericks from my 2011 iMac to an external drive and after tinkering around and...

    Macbook Pro Humidity Issue

    Hello, I have a Macbook Pro and I think It's having a humidity issue. Yesterday the cover was closed and I left a half-wet shirt on top of it for around 20 minutes, and when I was back it was not opening. I tried rebooting, SMC etc. I flipped it so the keyboard was facing down and after a while...

    Hi there I'm new user of iMac Pro and I would like to understand few things that looks unclear to me and now I'm focusing on CPU speed and Intel SpeedStep. I own 8-core version which from what I discovered (i.a. by HwInfo on Boot Camp) should step down as low as 1200 MHz without load...

    2016 Macbook pros have poorly designed USB C ports

    So I have the 2016 MacBook pro and I found some pics on iFix it of the USB C ports. The 2015 model had metal reinforcing the part of the port that fits in the cable, the 2016 one they removed this metal reinforcement. An Apple representative was saying I should just send in the MacBook Pro...

    2018 i9 MacBook Pro throttling discussion [merged]

    Reviews are finally rolling in on YouTube. Finally a review compared exporting a video on a maxed out 15” 2018 vs 2017. The 2017 finished exporting it 2 minutes faster because the i9 throttled so bad causing worse performance when compared to the maxed i7 CPU in the 2017 model. Another more...

    MBP 2013 vs MB 2017

    Hi all, I'm looking for a stopgap (perhaps one year) machine mainly for running Xcode. The choice is between a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and last year's base MacBook. Although the MBP is getting old, the stats look fairly similar (please ignore the eMac). Anything obvious...

    Does this geekbench rating tell us anything about future MBP updates?

    Came across this recently: http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/8493093 Does this tell us an update is coming shortly? I had been under the impression we wouldn't see any MBP updates in 2018 and possibly 2019.

    UK - where to buy a decent 15" 2012 cMBP SATA cable?

    Hi guys, So I think the SATA cable on my trusty MBP is on its way out. I know eBay have a lot but in my experience they're not going to be good and certainly not going to be genuine, despite what the listing says. I could go iFixit but then that's an arm and a leg for the part and then about...

    I guess this is not a good time to buy iPad pro?

    So, the news says there is possibly no hardware in WWDC. Do you guys think it's better to wait a little longer for the new iPad pro?
