The graphics processing is high class. The screen quality and resolution is at its best. Other features include airplay, time machine backup, iTunes backup and more. The machine is physically strong. The body casing is beautiful. We highly recommend Apple’s MacBook Pro for personal and commercial use.

We have been dealing with this machine since Apple changed their processor from IBM to Intel. Apple introduced several machines since 2006. Their pro family included 15 and 17 inch pre-unibody MacBook Pro machines that they introduced from 2006 to 2008. They introduced 15 and 17 inch unibody MacBook Pro laptops from 2009 to 2011. These machines worked great for years until they showed bad graphics symptoms. After many years of use, these machines’ graphics card failed due to a third party chip used in these machines. These symptoms would include, black screen, rebooting, colored screen, grey screen, panic screen, colored lines and freezing issues. Apple had two recalls for these machines, last one finished in December of 2016. After the recall time was over, everybody was disappointed until we came with a permanent solution. We can fix problems in all the above and below mentioned models.

The new family which they introduced in mid 2012 was named MacBook Pro retina. These MacBooks came in both 13 inch and 15 inch. The 15 inch from mid 2012 and early 2013 exhibited video problem due to a third party chip again. This is the most powerful machine. We came up with a fix for this model too. We can fix it and the problem will never come back. The next family that has some known issue is the mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro. The machine will show a folder sign with a question mark inside the folder. This can be fixed by our Apple certified technicians. Some MacBooks have another type of problem, where the machine starts with black screen. This is a random issue with 13 inch MacBook Ppro. There is this other known issue where a 13 inch MacBook Pro from 2015 would have problem with keyboard and trackpad. All these problems are fixable. Over all these issues are not found in every single machine but because Apple have sold many models to consumers, the high the number, the more we find problematic machines. Apple offers all kinds of repair options for their products. Their warranty service is excellent. We also fix all other Apple products.

Now I will talk about operating system used in MacBook laptops. Apple MacBook Pro have a few operating systems for their devices including desktops and laptops. They started with their operating system OS X 10 Kodiak in 2000. They used it in their non-Intel computers. Then they came with up cheetah, puma and Panther and then Tiger. Around 2005, 2006 they had to move from IBM processor to Intel. This era was the beginning of a marathon for them. This was the time when they introduced Leopard and Snow Leopard. In the beginning, users were not accepting to switch to Mac because there were a lot of compatibility issues with most of the applications. All third party applications were fully compatible with windows operating system. With the passage of time, third party developers started to write apps for OS X. By the time Apple introduced Lion and mountain lion apps were slowly getting compatible with OS X. In 2013 Apple came up with Mavericks and then Yosemite in 2014. This was the time, most applications were being written for OS X. This gave a big boost to Mac computers and laptops. Apple continued with a new operating system every year. El Capitan in 2015, Sierra in 2016, High Sierra in 2017, Mojave in 2018, Catalina in 2018, Big Sur in 2020 and then Monterey in 2021. All the new operating systems use encryption by default meaning if someone has a password and their computer dies, there is no way to do data recovery on it if password is not known. Older models did not have this feature turned on by default rather it as an option if user wanted to use it. Over all they got better and better over time. The old operating systems were built for older MacBook laptops with lower configuration like lower random access memory, less hard disk space and comparatively lower cpu power than newer models.

In this article I talked about several models of MacBook Pro models and problems associated with some specific models.
