    Hi all, I'm in the process of replacing my MacBook Pro 15-inch 2018 battery and would love your input. Any trusted battery brands you'd recommend? If you've already replaced yours, could you share how long the new battery lasted or if it extended your MacBook's lifespan? Appreciate your...

    Installed new SSD and now MacOS won't boot or finish installation

    My SSD got busted and I got a replacement. Now that I've replaced the SSD, I've been struggling with the OS for my MCB Pro 2015. The standard on installation in recovery is Monterey. Everytime i install and about to finish, it reboots and then says "About 29 minutes remaining" What should I...

    Scored 3 2015 15 inch Intel MBPs

    This week was a sweet one for me. Monday morning I arrived at work, but got an email that I need to be else where. I remembered there was some IT stuff that needed to be ecycled and I had to be there to get the team in. I was dreading this, rushed down to the building which was about 0.5 miles...

    15-inch MacBook is my dream machine

    13 inch MBP user here and it is not an M1. Phew.. Yeah, it sucks at this point. I have long waited for the day I finally give this machine a proper place called the bottom drawer and embrace the sassy new Apple Silicon Mac. But I don't like MBPs to be honest. They have this flat and thick...

    Should I buy a 2015 15" MacBook Pro?... or wait

    I currently have a 2017 13" MacBook Pro without TouchBar. I cannot stand this keyboard and the computer overheats constantly. I have my eye on a used Mid 2015 15 inch Pro with the 2.5ghz i7. The price is $999 and its in great physical shape with a brand new battery. Is this a good decision or...

    15” MacBook Pro - Uneven Backlighting / Brightness

    I’ve noticed that the screen brightness / backlighting is uneven on my 2019 15” MacBook Pro. It’s brighter in the middle and dimmer on the left and right edges, particularly on the right. It’s most noticeable on a white background (documents, emails, etc.). I sent my MBP off to Apple and got...

    Future proofing your MacBook Pro?

    So a couple of things to start. I already purchased my MBP and an external monitor so this is more an academic discussion, for me, perhaps not for others that are still in the process of deciding which options to click when ordering their new 2018 MBP. I just enjoy the banter. Second, I know...
