    The old MacBook Pro 15 2016-2019 has some magic in it, feels lighter and easier to hold than the new 14

    It has much better hand feel, though I'm not sure how the design team pulled it off, to make a long post short. By the spec sheet it definitely should feel heavier since it's 1.83 kg vs 1.6 kg for the 14. The more tapered edges as opposed to the bulky flat edge of the newer models probably...

    MacBook Pro: CPU throttling when battery reaches 39c

    Hey everyone, I discovered something on this hot July day! My late 2013 15" MacBook Pro throttles the CPU and makes the computer extremely slow (taking seconds just to register a mouse click) when the battery temperature reaches 39c. It does this by ramping up CPU usage of kernel_task, taking...

    Sell my 2019 Macbook Pro 15" for a 16"? Worth it?

    Hey guys, I was one of the suckers that bought the 2019 Macbook Pro 15" (8-core). It's well beyond return at this point.

    Dear all, I am one of the many that every time I need to buy a new Mac notebook fall in the loop of 13 vs 15 debate. This time I went for the 15.

    Hi, I’ve recently got a 2 week old baseline 15” MacBook Pro (2018) and got a question about its fans. When I’m using the Mac with its own display, everything works fine. Fans come on with heavy load, easily going down as it eases. However, when I’ve got my single LG 4K monitor plugged in...
