| 2017 13" MacBook Pro Keyboard Replacement Program - MY Posted: 30 Jun 2020 08:11 PM PDT Yet another post about this. But my case, I'm somewhere where we don't have Apple Store here in Malaysia. We only have Apple Authorized Reseller or Service Center. Owned by other entity. So, my shift key started to get wonky because I use that a lot in programming. I got tired of it, I decided to send it over through Apple Support website, choose a store to set an appointment. In my mind, I don't really care if I have to pay hefty price. After all, it was out of warranty even with the keyboard replacement program, my chances are low here at my place. Hear my story below. I know I'm a bit f up because my current battery is bloated and dying. I got bad battery made by Simplo LTD, 150 cycles over 3 years, 60% health – also probably because it's generally warm/hot here in Malaysia. With that, my trackpad also slightly bulging up, a little less than 1mm but I noticed and can feel it through the outline bump. Contacted a few AAR stores before and they quoted me $250 for it. Which I decided not to change because I'm committed to get an iFixit kit instead but too bad, they ran out of stock apparently. I asked them too about the keyboard replacement program and most of the them said, rarely any store in Malaysia will change the entire bottom case + battery and whatever else comes with it. Only the keyboard and if they 'think' it's time to change the battery together because the older battery is unfit for re-installation, you will have to pay for the battery replacement. Long story short, with shift key broken and bad battery, at this rate $250 is something I need to invest. I chose an AAR named iTworld located near to my home/office. Sent it over, with $0 on the service order. Of course the SO will change after they finish the repair progress. They said, if they found other stuff got damaged, they might charge me for that repair and of course if I'm okay with that. No forcing or whatsoever but I'm expecting they gonna talk about my battery and charge me for that. 7 days later, received an email telling me that my MacBook Pro is ready to pick up. Went there today, pick it up and first thing I noticed, new bottom case. They said they only changed the keyboard. But obviously my 3 years of god know what stuff been sticking on the speaker grill and palm area (not dirty, just aged with dead skin). I talked with them, telling them that this is entirely new and they insist, keep saying nope it's my old stuff and the only thing they changed was the keyboard. The reason I'm pushing them to tell me because I couldn't wait for the bill I have to pay. I cut them to the chase and ask for the bill, and they said they got me covered. That's it. I just have to sign the form that I already pick up my MacBook and I'm free to flee with my semi-new MacBook. End up I'm getting new keyboard (probably the same gen but new is new), new battery thank god and new bottom case. That all for $0 in a country that don't have Apple Store and known for not being generous like the other stores like in the US. Thanks to this subreddit, after reading many good stories about this replacement program, even one guy got a free upgrade because his got dented while in repair, I'm glad that I went the right way and saved me $250 from the battery replacement alone, or $150 for the iFixit kit version plus another price tag for the keyboard replacement if I voided some stuff inside with that iFixit kit.

| Best cover/case for 2020 MacBook Air Posted: 30 Jun 2020 09:04 PM PDT I had to get a new laptop -my old one decided to go basically kaput. And my new MacBook is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm kind of clumsy and even though I'm still in quarantine - I want a good case. I've only used hard shell but some research shows me that might not be the best option. I don't want it to be too heavy but I want it to be protective. If it can be a case and shell when in use that would be perfect. (And extra points if it comes in multiple colors) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 08:27 AM PDT I bought a brand new 2020 13 inch MBP about a month or so ago and I noticed for the past week I've been using it it begins to overheat and the fans kick on very loudly after about 10 minutes of usage. I don't have many apps or tabs open, I don't use up a lot of the storage either if that has anything to do with it. This is the first mac I've had this problem with so if anyone has any suggestions on what to do I am all ears. Should I call customer service and tell them the issue? It just seems odd for a brand new macbook [link] [comments]  | ||

| is the 2015-2018 Retina MacBook THAT bad? Posted: 30 Jun 2020 06:55 PM PDT hey. i need a new laptop for college, budget of around $700 and my main choices are a MacBook or the 2018 iPad Pro. i was doing some looking on Swappa and i found the unloved 12" Retina MacBook sitting there for pretty good prices (~$500) i don't need insane amounts of power, i don't even need a lot of power. i just need something that'll get me by on Zoom, MS Office/GDocs, and just light or medium web browsing. i know that those MacBooks aren't really the best at all, but i think it could hold me over until Apple Silicon Macs become available. should i go for one of these or should i stay away from these like the plague? if i should avoid them, what should i go for? thanks!!

| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 01:23 PM PDT My fiancé has an old macbook pro 13 that she says she's fine with using (has the early 2015 MBP), but I kind of want to get her an upgrade. I've been looking at the educational/back-to-school deals and am thinking of getting the macbook air 13" Is apple's deal a good deal ($899+)? I plan on getting the lowest specs since she only uses it to write docs and web browse. She might require better processing power since her work requires her to use some program with simulations and such on it, but I heard the new macbook air is pretty powerful, even with the lowest specs. In other words, is it worth to get the new macbook air? Thanks for your insight! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 03:30 PM PDT Hello fellow macbookers. In the past I owned a few MacBook Airs and I'm really starting to miss one. So I was wondering if any of you are still using the MacBook Air from 2012-2015 with 4gb of ram and how are they performing in general everyday use? Are they still usable in 2020? Or should I get 8gb or ram? I'm planning on running Mavericks on it and useing it for mail, web, movies just general everyday use. Thank you for you replies. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Help me and my gf with her MacBook Air 2013 Posted: 30 Jun 2020 02:36 PM PDT I hope that this is an okay post to put here, I've also posted it in r/macbookrepair but I thought that I might aswell put it here as there will be more people seeing it here. So here's the post and issue: Hello everybody, my girlfriend has a problem with her MacBook Air 2013, as it suddenly won't boot. When you insert the charger, it glows green for about 2 seconds, and then turns orange. It won't boot at all, no sounds, lights, fans, screen movement, nothing happens. What I've tried is: -Tried to reset the SMC, when doing so, the charger glows green for 2 seconds, then turns to orange again. -Had it on charge for over an hour, changed nothing. -Kept the powerbutton down for 10 seconds, also tried to start it while inserting the charger and pressing the powerbutton at the exact same time, but still nothing. Tomorrow I'll open it up to see if anything seems broken, I'm not an expert but I might see something. I have a suspicion that moist in the air has something to do with this, as it has been in our basement living room for a couple of days, and at night it gets really moist and cold there. So it's now on charge upstairs so that any moist might dry up during the night. The wierd thing is that it has been multiple times in that basement, quite a lot of night in the 7 years she's had it but there's never been an issue with it, but this happened all of a sudden, we watched a movie on it 2 days ago and at that time it was working perfectly. So I need you guys help with this, she has a lot of important stuff on this Mac and it would mean the world to both me and her with any help possible before we leave it in for service. Have a nice morning, day or night everybody. -Benni [link] [comments]  | ||
| Which 16 inch MacBook Pro should I purchase? Posted: 30 Jun 2020 09:45 AM PDT I currently using a mid 2012 MBP I bought new in fall of 2013. I installed a new battery, 16 gigs of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. I am hoping that I can get another year and a half out of it. 80% of my computer usages involves just basic tasks (i.e., watching Youtube videos and word documents). The other 20% is using Logic Pro X and very basic video editing (i.e., syncing audio files to video in iMovie). I want to have an "idea" of what I should buy if my mid 2012 MBP shat out on my unexpectedly. I was looking at getting a 16 inch MBP. Some questions I am:

| I’m looking to buy a macbook air 2020 but... Posted: 30 Jun 2020 07:20 AM PDT I'm a high school student and i also take college classes which means i do countless projects, essays, and homework non-stop. I have also never had a mac or used one so i'm really debating wether it suits me or not. I know for a fact the pro isn't what i need because it has functions i won't use for the price but the air seems suitable for me. Is it worth it for me from your perspective? Also, if you're a student and have it, what's your experience from using it? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 09:11 AM PDT As title says, I'm heading to graphic design school this fall. I currently have a ASUS Zephorous computer that I use to edit on. I am wanting to switch to MacBook (used to have an Air). My question is... Do I buy a 16in MacBook Pro i9 now? Or wait for the new Apple Silicon Pro coming out at the end of this year? Thanks for the feedback! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 12:23 PM PDT I'm going to be updating from a 2017 MacBook Pro to either the 13" ( 2Ghz Quad Core, 16gb Memory, 512GbSSD), or 16"(2.6Ghz 6 core, 16gb memory, 512gb SSD). I'm looking on thoughts or if anyone has either, on how they compare. My wife doesn't want me to have the 16", thinks it will be too heavy on my lap. I do travel off and on and have a good bag to carry it, so that's not the issue. Just looking on some general feedback before I pull the trigger this Thursday. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Can't decide whether to wait for ARM Macbook Pro - Dualbooting for gaming Posted: 30 Jun 2020 10:08 AM PDT I was planning to buy the new 16-inch Macbook Pro, however I am concerned since I know that Apple is moving away from Intel and is transitioning all of their Macbooks to ARM chips. This makes me concerned that the machine would stop being supported after a few years, and since it's so expensive I would prefer to use it for 5+ years as I have my previous Macbook. However, I understand that I won't be able to Dualboot Windows on the new Macbooks, which is an issue because I want to use it for gaming. I would still be able to run Windows as a virtual machine, but I don't know if this would be practical for games. Does anyone have any experience playing PC games on a virtual machine? Or would I be best just to buy the Intel Macbook and hope for the best? [link] [comments]  |
