    Are your USB-C ports loose and repeatedly disconnect / stop charging? (MBP 2016)

    All four of the USB-C ports on my MacBook Pro 2016 are loose. No cables 'click' into place, like they do on other devices (including the actual power brick, which never comes undone). This is a really frustrating issue, as I'll find my computer not charging, or hard drives will unsafely...

    Odd issues with MBPro late 2016

    I have the first generation 15" MBPro that Apple released in late 2016 (only USB-C/TB3 ports); it was an open box sale for a good price, and I needed to upgrade. I've noticed a few oddities mostly related to power management on the USB-C ports. The battery life is pretty poor. Just web/email...

    2016 Macbook Pro Monitor Suggestion

    Since I've purchased my 2016 15" MBP refurbished back in May, I have been looking to pair with a monitor for my main desk at home. There seems to be very little in terms of new monitors with USB-C/Thunderbolt3 capability that will work well with TouchBar MBPs. A little about my uses: I work...

    Thunderbolt 4 in 2018?

    It's been speculated that Apple will announce a new 8K cinema display in year 2018. The only 8K monitor on market right now requires dual DP 1.4 connection. A single thunderbolt 3 is unlikely to handle 8K at 60Hz. Will Apple allow using dual thunderbolt 3 connection, or forcing people to buy a...
