Apple Macbook My attempt at sticker bombing my MacBook

I just recently purchased 2 Samsung Space monitors (these guys: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L9FS1PD) for my work setup to use with my 2019 MacBook Pro. Will I be able to use either/both of them at the full 144 Hz? The monitors don't have USB C, so I'll have to convert from USB C to HDMI or DisplayPort. I'm open to buying a dock if necessary!

Macbook Pro 2019 Screen Issue

Posted: 24 Oct 2019 02:40 AM PDT

Hey Guys,

I've got a 2019 15" Macbook Pro, only about 3 months old. At work I connect 2 USB-C monitors to it, 1 via an adapter that also carries power and a USB bank (with HDMI for the monitor). This all works fine. I've been experiencing issues once I disconnect from this though.

If I disconnect with the laptop open then its all good. But if it's closed, or goes to sleep, then the screen fails to turn back on. Well it turns on because I can see the pixels power up, but there is no image. If I randomly close and open the lid sometimes the image comes back, but often I have to completely reset.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone know the cause/solution?

Cheers.

Cheap used MacBook that will last?

Posted: 24 Oct 2019 01:59 AM PDT

I have a 2007 MacBook running Windows 10, but I can tell the end is near for it. I'm looking to buy a used MacBook that will be able to get OSX updates for a few more years. Won't be doing anything crazy with it. Just web browsing, iMessage, email, etc. what years and models should I be looking at?

2018 Macbook Air - keyboard replacement program experiences?

Posted: 24 Oct 2019 01:17 AM PDT

Hi all. Does anyone here have any experience with getting their 2018 Air's keyboard replaced under the free repair program? I've got the repeating keystroke problem on my S, E, I, N, K, O, and L keys, as well as the space bar, and the left shift frequently behaves as though I'm still holding it down for a short while after I release it – so I get STuff LIke THis happening maybe half the time when I'm capitalising something.

Anyway. I mostly wanted to ask two things...

1) Do they always replace the entire keyboard, and does doing so necessarily entail replacing the keyboard + trackpad + aluminium top case + battery?

2) Will the replacement keyboard be the same tweaked model found in the 2019 Air?

Thanks for reading.

Can't screw SSD in place in Macbook, but can have it connected - Any downsides?

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 05:38 PM PDT

Basically, opened up Macbook, put SSD in it, connected it, then my dumbass realized I didn't have the right screw driver to unscrew the old HDD's screws keeping it in place. Is there any downside to just.. Leaving the SSD in there as is? It'll boot up and everything, and I never take the laptop with me anywhere

What do y’all use to clean out dirt under the butterfly keyboards?

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 08:17 PM PDT

My 2017 MacBook keeps getting dirt under its keys but now something got under my function key and I almost pried the whole key off trying to get it out. Any suggestions that don't involve me destroying a key I use regularly?

MacBook Air late 2018 pricing

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 07:57 PM PDT

If shouldn't be here please delete. I bought a MacBook Pro after I bought a base MacBook Air late 2018 and want to sell it. I used it maybe less than 10 times. Im not sure on pricing but was going to sell it for 300. I think that maybe too cheap. might ask 400?

I seriously opened it up, added a few things, then surfed the web, then realized I needed a MBP due to work and use.

If there is a different sub or something please let me know. I dont know if I want to post it on the Book of Faces or Craigslist.

Purchase Advice MacBook Pro

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 06:40 AM PDT

Hi, reposting from the megathread because it does not seem to be very active. I want to buy my first MBP and I need some advice on which version to buy. I am going to use it for machine learning/data science work (training will all be done in the cloud with data preprocessing locally) and possibly drawing comics (with clip studio paint, using Wacom Intuos). So I am thinking of buying either: 1. MBP 13 2017 with 2.3 GHz i5 dual-core 8GB memory and 256 GB storage for ~1100 USD. 2. MBP 15 2019 with 2.6 GHz i7 6 core 16GB memory and 512 GB storage for ~ 2650 USD.

Considerations: 1. Cash flow; I can buy the 2017 version straight away but it takes quite a hit to my cash flow while I could get a 0% interest loan for 18 months for the 2019 version. 2. Worth; This is my first mac computer ever. I am worried if I will not utilize the machine I buy for more than 2 grand if I am not so experienced in utilizing the computer to its highest potential. 3. What is the expected shelf-life of these two MBPs? I am trying to minimize the cost/year.

Thanks!

Macbook Pro 2019 Overheating

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 07:57 AM PDT

Hi guys,

I finally got my Macbook Pro 2019 model last week, with 16gb RAM, i5 2.4 GHz and 256 SSD.

As this is my first time using MacOS, I'm still exploring it - it's not the same style of workflow as Windows definitely!! As ex-windows user when I purchased my Macbook, it was fixed in my mind that at least I won't have overheating issue as I used to have with my previous Dell Latitude. I guess I was wrong, as overheating started immediately during my first day of use. I thought that the reason is program/applications setup, but even when I finished setting up apps/programs it's not gone. Of course it's not an issue that it's active all the time, but I'm really surprised how it happens because I'm not using any program that has heavy load. Basically is Safari/Chrome, Outlook, Word, Adobe and Dropbox is on (but not too much traffic using it).

Since Macbook covers are kind of metal material, you feel overheating (specially when it's at higher level) much more than in Dell. It's not very comfortable to write on keyboard or use trackpad since you feel the heat :(

Is there something I can do about it? Anyone with similar experience? Any suggestion is welcome :)

PS. I updated MacOS. I'm using the latest version.

Hoping to get some feedback from you guys!

iCloud drive "remove download" doesn't work

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 02:14 AM PDT

I want to delete local copy of files that is uploaded on iCloud drive from my mac. But as the title mentioned, when I select a file and click "Remove Download" button, the local copy of the file is removed but right after that the file is downloaded automatically, make local copy on my mac again. "Optimize Mac Storage" option is currently turned off. What should I do to fix this?
