    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.

    What is the typical CPU usage with external monitors?

    If I connect a 4K monitor with a latest MBP, will there be a spike in CPU / GPU usage than normal ?

    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?

    Do you think Apple slows down Macbook Pros, similar to the recent iPhone battery scandal?

    It is now the middle of 2018 - three years after the manufacture date of my mid-2015 MBP. 'Coincidently' the MBP has suddenly begun to decrease in speed and power in the recent weeks. It's also funny that Apple provides a three year AppleCare plan. I wouldn't put it past Apple to apply the same...

    MacBook Pro model suggestions

    In the market for a MBP, just had a few questions: Is the new-style keyboard really that bad? If not, I guess I'll wait and see if anything is announced at WWDC. If it really is terrible, which model is the most recent without the butterfly keyboard? Am I right in thinking the 2015 models are...

    Switching CPU tray from Mac Pro 2010 to Mac Pro 2012

    I just bought a Mac Pro 2010 12 core. The CPU tray looks like this: I was wondering if i could put it into my Mac Pro 2012 which is a 6 core. I am a video editor and i figured it would give me more RAM and make it run faster for editing. Am i able to do this? What problems would it cause?
