I play Rust on high settings can get 60 fps 😬

I'm happy. Just that I need a mech keyboard to game. It gets really hot to the point the metal burns and the heat transfers up to the keys.

Bearing in mind, I'm experiencing winter now so, the weather should in theory help a bit but not much

the 2015 macbook pro 15-inch is really hot if the dedicated graphic is in use. I had used it previously. Fans trigger very very frequently with the dedicated graphic card in use too.

Therefore i appreciate that the less heat generated from this 12-inch macbook and fanless design with no noise.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to buy a macbook pro, i need advice though.

Is it possible to claim tax and use student discount together?
If cant and I have to choose one which is the better option?
Help pls, TQ!

student discount better, buy from own country apple educational store.

Guys is it possible to install a,umm lets just say "non-authentic" Windows 7 Pro on mbp using usb disk and boot camp? hehe

2015 onward retina MacBook pro boot camp can only support windows 8 and above.

Of course if urs is older,u can instal chiong Windows 7 also.

If you just want to turn off screen while downloading (especially locking the screen), hold the lower left three button Ctrl alt command, press power button.

hi guys, I'm using a macbook pro 13 retina display(late 2012).

Seems like my safari can't stream 1440p 60fps youtube videos, it is not even an option in safari to click on. However when i use chrome, the option appears but theres severe stuttering and its not watchable.

May i know if anyone has the same problem ?

Sample video

I watched the sample video, no issues whatsoever. And I am using safari. rmbp 2014

Playing the YouTube video on Safari does hide the 1440p option. Had to played the video through Chrome on my RMBP15" in order to play it at 1440p. Watchable and no shuttering issues.

i guess my mbpr specs is not enough to run videos at 1440p 60fps

You can pirate install Windows. But 10 and above only. MacOS El Capitan already mandate nothing below Windows 10.

I'm on MacOS Sierra now. Same thing. I made the boot camp on EC

Not sure about the tax/student discount, but I am sure you should wait until the new model comes out....I've always been a Mac guy but thinking now about jumping ship to the Surface Pro 4.......a discount would be nice!

No la. Min is windows 8. I had installed it many many time on different 2015 and 2016 MacBook.

I tried 8 before and it said something like "Bootcamp has support for Windows 10 and above."

Maybe I had a different copy of Windows 8 which wasn't compatible with BCA

Confirmed can. Officially it is supported.

OS X 10.11.6 update is out now

My 13" laptop battery bought last May was bloated. Went to Machines SVC and the repair time mentioned is 3 weeks. How come it takes so long. It is only a battery. I look at ifixit and it was easy to remove as well. Anyone has any experience on it and how long does it usually takes?

They don't serve you only, your Highness. They have others too. 3 weeks is like an insurance policy. Maybe can be done in a week. Have to call them to find out.

Taking off battery is super easy and can be replaced under 10 minutes depending on your technical proficiency.
