More of a marketing differentiator, seems like it will require the user to look at the keyboard, something most 30 and younger never need to do. Plus the Touch Bar is a solution without a problem. The 2018 MacBook is the first one that even makes me think about upgrading but holding off due to the lack of HDMI and USB 3.0. I have a question to the community, should I try to get the battery replaced now if I want it to last another 3 years as my main device before it becomes my wife’s? The battery has about 300 cycles on it, made a habit of plugging it in at school because the battery didn’t last long when running engineering software anyway. Ordered a 20$ fire stick instead of $119 replacement.Īnyway, in regards to the MacBook, the battery is original and it seems to be hanging around 88-91% of its original capacity. I just noticed yesterday it was added to the list of retired devices while checking the warranty coverage of my AppleTV gen 4 because it wouldn’t power on.
I don't know if that's exactly how it works, but that's basically how he explained it to me.Īfter doing this SMC reset, the trackpad started working immediately.Aside from replacing the screen at 15 months for the stupid ghosting issue (was assured it wouldn’t be an issue), my mid-2012 MacBook Pro retina has been a great machine, wish I could have afforded 512Gb at the time as I have windows on it too. The way the tech explained it to me, this resets how the computer distributes power, and should make the computer send the correct amount of power back to the trackpad. This is called an SMC reset, or system management controller. If it was already green, it will stay green. If the light on the charger is amber, it should flash green and then go back to amber. But before the launch of the 2013 Retina MacBook Pro, it’s high time to take a closer look at the world’s current finest notebook computer the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display.Press the following keys in the bottom left of the keyboard: ctrl+option+shift (holding them all at the same time) and then tap the power button key in the very top right.Wait until the screen is completely off and everything is powered down. The first thing the tech did was have me save everything and power off the computer.Note that this may not work for everyone, but it did work for me.
I went in to the Genius Bar and got an answer, so here it is!
