  • How to optimize the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    Hey,.

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 2015 13 inches and I love it so far! Mainly, I bought it for use at the University since I am a student in Architecture and I was told that the MacBook Pro are great for this.

    Anyway, as I always take careful care of my business, I want to know how to maximize the battery in my MacBook Pro? Is it true that whenever I have my MacBook Pro connected to the charger and it reaches the max (100%), the charger stops charging? Also, should I turn off or put to sleep when I'm not using it?

    I have read online some tips, but I want to just make sure that all of its clear. I have a lot of questions to be honest, but if someone can give a brief explanation I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Josetroti:

    When you leave your MacBook Pro is plugged, it stops to load automatically when it reaches 100%. There's no need to unplug it.

    I turn on my Macbook Pro in the morning and left running unless I'm going out for a few hours in this case, I if it turned off.

    In the night I turned off it. I don't use mode 'sleep', as with the SSD climbing boots Macbook very quickly. But that's just my preference.

    I heard that if you leave your computer connected permanently, a once a month, you must let sink to about 30% and then recharge.

    It is not good to let it drop below 10%.

    How long should my MacBook Pro 15 '' (2015) battery last? " Im getting about a little less than 5 hours and the normal battery status. I turned off Bluetooth and set it automatically adjusts the brightness. Shouldn't I be living out my battery?

    It depends on what you are doing. If you write just a text document, 5 hours is too short. If you navigate all the time and visit the Web site with a lot of Flash or video content, it is good enough.

  • Apple will replace the battery for my MacBook Pro to the retina when in-store?

    Hi, the battery must be replaced on my MacBook Pro of retina, but I don't want to send it and pick up within 2 weeks. They will replace when I'm in the store? The guarantee also ended 2 weeks ago that I'd be able to show them, and they would be understanding and do it for free? Personally, I think that £125 for a battery is charges and it's a shame that it's over 2 weeks ago. Thank you!

    well - it depends on the discrection of one you get. I'd be inclined to say "no, they can't do it for free. As for how long that will take, well. again, you will need to enter and take a go-genius bar. What I can say is to be nice and polite, and maybe you could get lucky

If your MacBook doesn't look like the one illustrated in the provided link, go to your Apple Store closest to have the battery replaced by Apple (you can always have the battery replaced by an Apple Store after your warranty is over, you will just need to pay out of pocket for repairs).

    I have the mid-late 2010 15 "Macbook Pro. Currently, he has the 500 GB HDD 2.4 GHz inside and want to go to 1 TB. I will be upgrading the 8 GB of RAM and I wonder...

    I found this:

    SATA 6

    If I can't go SATA 6 How about something else similar? 7200 RPM and 1 TB that works?

    Thanks 1million expert Apple!

    A 2010 MBP has SATA2 3Gbps connectivity.  However all readers will be retro-compatible.  Try OWC:

    Capacity is not a problem.  Now they come up to 2 TB.

    I have a Crucial 1 TB SSD in my MBP 2010 and it works as expected, fine.
