    Pricing a '17 MBP w/Small Display Crack?

    Unfortunately my 2017 MBP 15" has a small crack in the bottom of the display in the bezel area, not in the active pixel zone of the monitor. I'm going to sell it instead of replacing the screen assembly. I'm wondering about two things: first, how to price it, and second, whether it's best to...

    The 2012 Retina MacBook Pro - A Retrospective

    Now that Apple has declared the original Retina MacBook Pro to be "vintage", I though I would write up a quick retrospective on the first Mac I ever owned. I recently noticed that many people in this thread were critical of the price at the time. Yes, it was more expensive, but I'd argue...

    Retina 2012 13" MBP overheating (>100ºC)

    I recently picked up a 2012 Retina MBP 13" with a broken screen that I've been using as a desktop until I can get the screen repaired (or do it myself.) I've noticed that when doing something as innocuous as playing HD video the temperatures can get quite high. Now that is with 12 or so...

    1st gen (2013-2015) Retina battery longevity?

    I am trying to get an impression of the longevity of the the battery in the first-gen MBPs. What is your cycle count and design capacity? How often do you perform condition charges/discharges? How long have you let it sit empty, full, or unused for an extended period? I have an early 2015 13"...

    15" Apple Store Arrival

    Any word or insight when demo's will hit the floors at the stores even if they stay backordered? Would like to test out the touch bar and make sure it's worth the extra $ for 15" display+touch bar instead of 13" base.

    New MacBook Pro thickness + GPU

    I doubt Apple will offer a discrete GPU option for the new MacBook Pros because of how thin they are and the power consumption. The m470x is a rebrand of last years card meaning it is 28nm and will consume a lot of power (and is larger physically).
