    Choice between MacBooks super awkward... M2/M3 Air for professional work?

    I never wanted to post a lame "What should I buy" post, but I've also never been so unsure before... I am a photo and video professional and my rMBP 2014 has become virtually unusable. The situation has been ok because I mostly use my M1 Mac Studio for serious work anyway. But I also need a...

    Update path for a rMBP running Sierra

    I have a 2014 rMBP that is still running Sierra (not even High Sierra). I put off updating it due to Software compatibility complications and eventually just started doing most of my work on my desktop, since the MacBook became slow anyways. Now I need it for a job and I need to get it to the...

    rMBP and MP5,1 replaced by M1X?

    I have the first line of rMBP 2012 which I use when traveling, while on a daily basis I use Mac Pro 5,1 "Six Core" 3.33 (Westmere) with updated graphics to RX580 and 32GB 1333 MHz RAM, "patched" Catalina OS and 27" + 24" displays. Both have served me extremely well for many years. Since latest...

    How do I find out MBP 2014 power?

    I've got to report the electrician rMBP 2014 power so he calculates what automatic breaker I can afford. I've heard the unit for power is watts (W). I've also heard outside my country the power is measured in A. https://support.apple.com doesn't state anything like this but MagSafe 2 specs...

    Mid-2015 rMBP - Swollen battery

    So I noticed my Dad's mid-2015 rMBP wobbling whilst on a flat surface last week. Turns out the battery is swollen and seems like this is not an isolated issue. AppleCare has expired - the local Apple authorized service provider said the repair may be chargeable, and a call with Apple Support was...

    External USB-C drive that's also a Hub

    CalDigit's AV Pro 2 apparently also acts as a USB 3 hub, which is pretty handy considering I have a 2016 rMBP. Are there any other drives out there that do this? I'm in the market for a Time Machine backup drive and I'd love to know what my options are. Thanks in advance!

Luckily, I have the receipts from the Apple Store from the guy who...

    I need to hand my rMBP in for repairs. Is FileVault enough to keep my data private?

    My 2014 rMBP is in need of a display repair (also, one of the rubber feet fell off, which apparently means that the whole underside has to be replaced...). I have to hand it in at the Apple Store in the next few days and I am concerned about the privacy of my data. I tend to be somewhat paranoid...

    My rMBP's GPU is dying :(

    Some of the artefacts don't even appear on the screenshots. I'm sad, this ************ rocked flawlessly since I bought it in OCT 2012. Do you guys have any idea of how much would it cost to replace the GPU (or I guess the entire motherboard) of a 2012 15 inch rMBP? I'm totally not buying one...

    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.
