    Since updating to Mac OS 11.3-11.4 I've noticed that when my MacBook Pro 2016 15 inch wakes up after sleep the Touch Bar is completely black and not working. I need to manually reset Touch Bar through Terminal or reset NRAM for it to work. Both solutions are temporary and after next sleep it...

    moving on from 2012 13” MBP

    I’ve enjoyed the 13” MBP (4lbs) ‘on the road’, having some grunt for occasional data/stats work, but must now find a replacement m/c. Choices, choices … having some cash to spend but not wishing to over-spend - nor to have to upgrade for a few years, but then will. Buying in UK, and...

    Buy MBP 2016 or wait for 2017

    Hi Experts, While am still deciding on MBP 2015 vs 2016, just want to check whether any updates expected in early/late 2017 for MBP? The reason am asking is, current MBP 15' 2016 doesn't support 32G, so wondering whether waiting is worth. As posted in the following thread,i don't mind...
