rmb

I consider myself pretty handy, but i can't figure out the space bar replacement on my A1534. I really don't want to do a whole keyboard replacement, local shops quoting me $300+ (and, I could use a new battery too). At that point, I might as well buy a new machine. I bought these two...

Hey guys! I'm choosing a new MacBook and persist in a quiet a confusion after several days of reading and thinking. :) I choose between 2018 rMBA and 2018 13' tbMBP. And specific configurations. The cornerstone of Mac's resources use is that I'm unfortunately forced to use a single (damn!)...

Dear forum, I know there is a USB-C adapter super thread... but my question is a bit more specific, I hope it's justified. My apologies if its not. I owned a HooToo Shuttle with HDMI, 3 USB3.0 and SD card slot and a SATECHI Aluminium Slim adapter with 2 USB3.0 and HDMI. They both have a USB-C...

12" MacBook 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 8gb 512gb, 2017 vs 13.3" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 8gb 256gb, 2017 My current one is early 2015 base model macbook. (1.1 GHz Intel Core M, 8gb, 256gb) It is very slow. It is tooooo slow. It takes too much time opening up apps like...

are there any benchmarks/tests available for these specs? I can only find it for m3 vs i5 at the moment.

So I'm about to change my old MacBook 12" from 2015 to something newer, but I'm undecided if I'm going to a 2017 (i5 or i7) model with 16 GB of ram or an MBP 13" 2017 (i5 + 16GB). Since I've a maxed iMac 5K (2015 too), the laptop is definitely a secondary machine, used when travelling or during...

New rMB 2017 with 5 load cycles and battery capacity has already dropped to 96% My experience with MBPs in the past has been a 100% plus capacity and only dropping to 98% or below when more than 100 or so load cycles have registered. Is this normal behaviour for the rMB? Any other data points?

I currently use a MBA mid 2011, and I think it works ok. Build times are ok for my current project. 1:30 minutes for a complete rebuild, and 15 seconds for rebuild of one changed file. The simulator runs a bit slow, but I think it's ok. My project is based on SpriteKit with a physics engine, so...

Hi guys, I want to create this thread in order to help people like myself with their struggles to decide on an external 4k-display that's driven by a MacBook (early 2015). Since there are plenty of parameters (like HDMI vs. DisplayPort vs. USB-C, 30 Hz vs. 60 Hz, simultaneous charging of the...

can someone working in Xcode on a 12" rMB show me the screenshots of the interface? I'm thinking of getting a rMB, but I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with the screen realestate. currently I'm on 2013 15" rMBP, and I wouldn't mind a dedicated machine for coding as I need this 15" MBP for...

Looking for some info / explanation ... rMB running the latest (10.12.4). It developed a stutter when using the built in trackpad. Everything looked good, was charged... It was looking good except for the stutter. Tried restarting, rebooting ... no joy. Found the stutter stopped when I...

Just purchased a 2016 12" m5 Space Grey MacBook. I love the rMB and think the size is perfect. I am got a soft sleeve for it, but I am worried about bending it in my backpack with my work laptop and cable etc. Has anyone experienced durability issues with their rMB? I have read some threads...

Any word or insight when demo's will hit the floors at the stores even if they stay backordered? Would like to test out the touch bar and make sure it's worth the extra $ for 15" display+touch bar instead of 13" base.

Hello All, Long time lurker, first time poster here. So I have a couple questions regarding the rMB. I have been looking for a decent laptop for portability and easy of use. My requirements would mostly be internet browsing, Netflix Hulu and other (up to) 4K Video Playback, and the Office Suite...

Hi, I've browsed the forums at MacRumors on many occasions in the past and have signed up with the hope that somebody could offer advice - I just picked up a new Dell U3415W ultra wide display for my 2015 rMB(first edition - purchased Sept 2015) and have been experiencing a strange issue. The...

Hey guys, I go myself one of these Minix NEO C USB-C-adapters for my 2015 rMB. Basically because I need the Ethernet port. I installed the most recent drivers as the manual says and if the adapter is connected while the machine is starting Ethernet works like a charme. But when the Minix box...

I've got a chance to get a new rMBP 13" 2015 base model for $1000 out the door. My other options are these: 1. rMB 2016 with the M5 chip (I've got this one now but am well inside the return window) 2. rMBP 2016 13" base model when ever it comes out for retail price (I'm assuming it'll be...

Greetings, Time has finally come for me to purchase this little wonderful machine. Now I'm wondering about dual monitor setup. I would use rMB for traveling and work (software engineer). But most of the places where I travel I ask in advance that they prepare two monitors for me to work on...

Background USB-C has four high-bandwidth lanes that can be dedicated to either USB 3.1 Gen 1 (i.e. USB 3.0 - 5Gbps) or DisplayPort 1.2. In addition to these four lanes, USB-C has separate USB 2.0 and power lanes that are available at all times. Running 4K at 60Hz requires the bandwidth of...
