    (sigh) fried my 2015 MBP

    Got the iFixit kit to replace the battery in my Mid-2015 Retina MBP, which was a workhorse. I did the full disassemble as their instructions recommended so I wouldn't get acetone on the motherboard; as many know, it's a real pain to unstick the glued-down battery cells. Finally reassembled it...

    iPad iPad everyday use + Mac via remote desktop

    Is it a usable setup to get an iPad Air 5th gen with BT keyboard+mouse, and use it for everyday stuff—but also remote desktop into a Mac for stuff the iPad just doesn't do, such as torrenting, or things that are just better on a desktop, such as working on larger spreadsheets? Long story: I...

    Hardware Q: Upgrading wifi module in 2015 MBP 15in

    I'm sure I know the answer to this already but thought to ask minds more knowledgable... Can the wifi module in the 2015 MBP (A1398/11,5) be upgraded to an ax/Wifi 6 version? This isn't as unlikely as it might sound. It was possible to do this with earlier MBPs. But all I can find while...

    MBP 16 2021 vs. MBP 15 2015 size comparison

    I have been wanting to see the difference between MBP 16 2021 vs. MBP 15 2015. Initial thoughts of handling the 2: 1. I thought the 16 would be a lot heavier than the 15 (base on my guess while holding it in the Apple store). Now holding it side by side, I can't tell the difference. 2. The 16...

    15" 2015 Macbook Pro Graphics Card Reliability

    For the past 8 years I have owned a 15" 2011 macbook pro, and have been extremely happy with it. In fact, with a nice SSD, upgraded RAM, and a twice-replaced discrete AMD GPU, it's still really snappy. Unfortunately, I have started getting the dreaded signs of GPU failure again -- at the moment...

    External monitor recommendations for Mid-2015 MBP?

    I've had some issues with my 2013 iMac, and I'm thinking the best thing to do is just get an external monitor for my MacBook Pro. It's a mid-2015 model. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd prefer a 27" screen and "retina quality." I'm doing my own research, but would appreciate any help.
