    Would you like a 13" MacBook with active cooling and a Pro Processor?

    As the announcement of the 15" MacBook is nearing and knowing it will probably also have the option for a Pro class Processor along with active cooling, would you like to see a similar 13" model with the same specs? I assume the design is probably going to be different to the new MBA one so a...

    My 2010 macbook 13"

    My MacBook (4/512) from 2010 is my daily driver, and let's just say it's faster than my Samsung 2020 Chromebook 3. I just use it to write books and to watch youtube, does anyone think I should upgrade to a higher MacBook? (my budget is $1500 nzd).

    Anyone Using Mini GaN Charger for Their MacBook Air?

    Hello, I've just got a 2015 MacBook Air 13" to do my tasks on the go. I went with this model because it's still capable of doing basic stuff and easier to repair and also I already have an iMac at home. I bought this MB Air as second hand and the previous owner gave it with a 85w magsafe 2...

    eGPU for Final Cut on 2018 MBP

    I have a 13" 2018 MacBook Pro. I use Final Cut Pro X a LOT. I'm looking into an eGPU but am reading a lot of things about FCPX not working with eGPU that much or that the Apple eGPU (Black Magic I think) is pretty bad. I'm really new at this and don't seem to understand what would work and...

    The question for old Macbook pro 13", 2017 NTB users

    Hi everyone. I do like Steve Jobs' era of Apple so that why I still use old Macbook pro 2009, because it never let me down. But now I'm going to do some upgrade after 10 years of using my old laptop. I intend to buy mentioned in the title model. But it is so slippery way with these new macbooks...

    2018 13" MBPro – right side ports kind of stopped working

    Hey, I've recently noticed that my 4K Ultrafine stopped, yeah, stopped working (Mac is charging, but there is no picture on the external display itself) when connected to the right side of the 2018 13" Macbook Pro. Resetting SMC (there are two ways to reset it on the Macbooks with T2) and PRAM...

    Is the SD slot reliable?

    Hey I am getting a new Macbook Air 13" and want to know if the SD slot would be reliable to use as a second source of "storage". 1. Is it safe to store "software related" stuff on the card? 2. Will it be okay to store music on it, that would be used in conjunction with the internal HD through...

    SSD compatibility across 13" & 15" (late 2013)

    Hello! Could anyone tell me whether the SSD of my 13" MPB (late 2013) physically fits into a 15" MPB (late 2013)? Google search did not help, despite the fact that a website is selling a non-original SSD compatible with both models. Having a look at ifixit's videos, the original SSDs from 13"...

    MBP 13" (2012): RAM vs SSD upgrade

    Hello! Needing some guidance on which upgrade to prioritize due to budget constraints. I have a mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD) which has become quite slow now - slow to open apps, search in finder/spotlight, open a new browser tab, etc. At first I was set on upgrading...

    Best 13" MacBook Pro deal I've found this week...

    The stars aligned for me yesterday and I was fortunate enough to have $1500 to buy a new MacBook Pro. I initially was going to just go for this deal (second deal listed), but I was able to come up with a few hundred extra dollars. That said, I haven't found this listed on any deal website and I...

    LG UltraFine 5K display ghosting issues

    I've been having ghosting issues on my LG UltraFine 5K monitor since I got it a couple days ago. I understand that Apple calls it image retention and claims it's normal but it's a bit too much for me. Just wanted to know if anyone who also owns a LG 5K monitor has had similar ghosting issues...

    Doubts regarding MacBook Pro 13"

    Hi all, I already searched the forum, but could not find any reply that could satisfy my doubts. I currently own a Late 2011 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz i5 and 4 GB 1333 MHz of RAM. I feel that is finally time to update this machine, but looking at the prices for the 13" that are available...

    13" 2016 MBP runs hot

    First-time poster, long-time lurker. I picked up a 13" 2016 MBP with touch bar this morning and I'm finding it runs much hotter than I expected. It's maxed out with an i7 3.3 GHz CPU. The fans don't spin up often—in fact, they've only been audible when playing Civ 6—but the keyboard has been...

    Is the 2012 13" MBP the last version you can upgrade

    Hi everyone, I just want to confirm if this version of the 13" is the last one where you can upgrade the RAM and HD yourself. I have an opportunity to buy a used late 2012 13" i7 MD102LL/A for a decent price. From a brief search it looks like i can throw in 16gigs of RAM as well as a large...

    How does the 2010 MacBook hold up in 2016?

    I have the opportunity to buy one for $400. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, a GeForce 320M GPU, and a 250GB HDD. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 4GB and possibly get an SSD to speed it up. I am not sure if it's a good deal though. I only plan to use it for web browsing, word processing...
