    Does anyone know how to remove the butterfly mechanism clip from the rMB keyboard? My ESC key cap popped off and broke a clip on the mechanism and so I need to replace it. If I go to the Apple Store would they replace it for free?

    2017 MacBook will only use i5 and i7 processor?

    Before anybody corrects the title, I am basing this off the leaked information that the Core m3, m5, and m7 will be rebranded the Core m3, i5, and i7 with the next generation (Kaby Lake) chips. The m5 has seemed like the sweet spot and a significant upgrade over the m3, which, along with the...

    Yeah, yeah! USB-C is great... one cable to rule 'em all, right? But why does it have to be so damn short? All comparable USB-C dongles/hubs on the market have one common problem: a laughable cable stump! I am looking for a reliable USB-C extension data cable, male-to-female, to move the ugly...
