    eGPU suggestions for 13in 2019 MacBrook Pro?

    Posted: 25 Sep 2019 12:40 AM PDT

    Bought a MacBook Pro (base model with 256gb ssd) for my student/work needs, but I wanted to dabble into gaming a bit. So far WoW at high settings runs pretty amazingly. For testing purposes I tried to run fortnite and yea..not amazing, getting around 40fps at standard settings. It's worth mentioning I have a gaming PC with an nvidia 1050ti but I'd rather sell the PC. I've got a nice desktop setup for my MacBook, and it would be nice to fully turn it into a "do it all" machine. Now of course I'm not expecting the same results for gaming as my PC, but I'm also not demanding when it comes to FPS. 60-100 MAX would be ideal. It would be nice to have the 1050ti that I already own. Would love to hear some suggestions!

    Suggestions for an SSD for a mid-2012 MacBook Pro, 13-inch? (+Anyone have any experience with this one?)

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 05:20 PM PDT

    Hi! As title says.. Yeah. But besides that, I found this one:

    https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-500GB-Internal-MZ-76E500B-AM/dp/B0781Z7Y3S/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ssd+mac&qid=1569370515&s=gateway&sr=8-3

    And the Q&As have conflicting reports about whether it'll work in a mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro or not.. Help?

    Is there a workaround to make the touchpad haptic feedback stronger?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 11:10 PM PDT

    I just switched to a 2018 MacBook Pro from a windows laptop and I'm still trying to get used to everything. I'm liking it so far, it's just the only thing that bothers me is the trackpad feels too "soft" even after setting the click to firm in preferences. I noticed that the haptic can go even stronger when you use force touch and I was wondering if there was a way to set that as the regular click strength.

    2019 MPB 13 inch

    Posted: 25 Sep 2019 01:14 AM PDT

    I bought it recently. Does the space bar feel different to you?

    It feels very different to my other keys.. compared to my enter key - enter is more easily to press. space bar, depending which part of the bar you click its response is softer. Is it supposed to be like this?

    Android file transfer freezes

    Posted: 25 Sep 2019 12:49 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I am a new macbook user, and the only problem that I have with macbook is android file transfer. Problem is that when I try to transfer my photos from android phone (samsung s10) the program freezes and rainbow circle appears. When I select a folder with < 20 photos it is not a problem, but when I select my main folder with around 400 photos then it freezes. Is there any solution for that. My macbook is: macbook air 2019.

    Thank you and sorry for any grammar mistakes english is not my main language.

    Macbook freezes when running OS X, not in windows

    Posted: 25 Sep 2019 12:38 AM PDT

    My macbook keeps freezing. Anywhere between 2-20 minutes of use. It doesn't seem to happen if I boot the mac and leave it alone. However, if I do anything once the desktop is loaded, it seems to start "the timer" ie, boot, open/close a window then leave it alone and wait, and it'll freeze after 2-20 minutes.

    I've never experienced any freeze like it using Windows (bootcamp)

    By freezing, the OS locks up instantly and entirely, the screen stays on and doesn't distort for about 10 seconds, then sometimes reboots, sometimes black screen, very occasionally persists in its frozen "on" state but remains unresponsive until hard reboot.

    I've done (at least what I'd call) extensive troubleshooting:

    • Fully formatted SSD and clean install of OS X (I've tried 10.12, 10.13, 10.14), no other software, same results. Curiously the install itself never freezes
    • charger or battery power source has no effect
    • energy saver settings have no effect
    • discrete graphics only / integrated graphics only has no effect. It's worth noting in particular that Windows OS doesn't see the Intel integrated graphics at all, it operates exclusively on the discrete card. I used an app "gfxCardStatus" to attempt to isolate the issue, no such luck.
    • forced 1440 x 900 rather than 2880 x 1800 has no effect

    There's probably other things I've done I can't recall right now. I first noticed it about 3 months ago, and have just reverted to using Windows for now.

    15" Retina Macbook Pro 2014. 4th Gen i7 2.5ghz, 16gb DDR3, iris pro 5200/nvidia 750m 2gb, 512gb PCIe

    I'd love to hear any suggestions others might have. As it runs without fault on Windows I am unconvinced of a hardware fault

    2013 MacBook Pro not powering on

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 11:24 PM PDT

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro 13.3 inch that will not time on. It was left at full battery and I went to turn it on and it did nothing. I tried resetting the SMC and it did nothing. When I put it in, the charging light goes straight to green. One thing to note is that when I press caps lock, the light comes on. Nothing else though. Any thoughts?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 03:28 PM PDT

    I have had my old MacBook sitting for 1-2 years, noticed the anti glare coat came off, is apple still willing to fix this due to "staingate" or any solutions?

    Can’t make up my mind! 2018 MPB or 2019 price...

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 07:18 PM PDT

    2018 15" 512gb, 16gb, 21 cycles for $1800

    Or

    Brand new 2019 15" 256gb, 16gb also for $1800

    Is the thermal and butterfly upgrade worthy of less storage space??

    What eGPU and graphics card should I buy?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 02:23 PM PDT

    I just bought the 13 inch MacBook Pro, 8gb and 256. I'm planning on buying an eGPU and graphics card for an external monitor, but I don't know what I should pick (new to eGPUs and Mac). I'm not really worried about the price of the graphics card and the eGPU I was looking at is the Razor Core X. The only game I really play is Sims, so the graphics card doesn't have to be that great or anything, I just don't know which one to buy that'll work with the core x and MacBook. Thanks!

    MBP 15" late 2013 Overheating

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 12:55 PM PDT

    Hi,

    So i have a macbook pro 15" from 2013 with a gt750m and an i7. Currenlty it is running at around 70C just browsing the internet and when i run a basic game (old school runescape which is a game from 2007 and is really low end in terms of reqs) it ramps up the fans to what i can only guess is full as it sounds like a jet engine and hits temps of high 80s and low 90s. Im not bothered with the performance of the machine as it doesnt seem to have a slow moment just that the cpu is hella toasty and the fans are loud.

    I have repasted the cpu using arctic mx4 and have even bought the cyronaut carbonaut as i thought it would make a difference, ive also gotten rid of all dust in the pc.

    What diagnostics should i do in order to find a problem, ive tried resetting the cms and the above.

    imgur link to show activity monitor and such.

    Thanks

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 11:56 AM PDT

    What would you do?

    I'm trying to decide if I should sell my 2016 Macbook Pro 15" (specs below) for a 2019 Macbook Pro 13" (specs below). I've found that I'm not using my laptop as much as I thought (doing more heavy work on my deskotp) and would like the portability of a 13". That said, do you think there is a significant difference in terms of performance? I don't want to see a huge drop if I switched over.

    2016 Macbook Pro 15" (full specs here)

    • 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core
    • 16GB of 2133 MHz RAM | 256GB PCIe SSD
    • 15.4" 2880 x 1800 Retina Display
    • AMD Radeon Pro 450 GPU (2GB GDDR5)

    2019 Macbook Pro 13" (full specs here)

    • 1.4GHz quad‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
    • 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory
    • 128GB SSD storage
    • Retina display with True Tone
    • Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645

    Posted: 24 Sep 2019 01:13 AM PDT

    Hi there, I have a MacBook Pro I got back in 2012, and every few days, it'll randomly crash. Someone suggested to me it could be because of a failing hard drive, but I'm -so- new to this.. Is there any way I can check? Can anyone help me out with this? :(
