      The question is Why not replace the battery on your macbook yourself and the bullet will cost several times cheaper. For more stable operation of this macbook, you need to install the previous mac os and then the work will speed up. Replacing the thermal interface will help lower the temperature of the processor and video card, which will give it a performance boost. Such a small repair will cost up to 75 US$, which is 5 times cheaper than in the apple store

    They have a recall on these. It is only for 4 years after date of purchase but you can give Apple support a call they might let you do the recall. You get a free battery and keyboard it’s the whole top case that they replace so that dent will be gone as well :)

    • @AakashNarang
      @AakashNarang Місяць тому +7

      I checked and as per Apple’s website, it says : Apple has determined that, in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk. Affected units were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 and product eligibility is determined by the product serial number. Confirm your model is "MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)."
      So I don’t think Andres’ 2019 15” MBP is eligible for the recall program.

    I have the Intel Core i7 2019 MacBook Pro 16", the thermals are fine, doesn't heat as much in MacOS as in Windows. In general, this Mac is a steal for ~$500. I bought mine refurb in perfect condition for $620, best purchase tbh.

  • @cleveanthony9002
    @cleveanthony9002 Місяць тому +12

    To solve your curiosity, those are sticker tan lines. It happens when you put a sticker too long on the MacBook and over time it just tans since your MacBook will oxidize and lose color. Stickers helps your MacBook create those tan lines faster than it naturally should've.

    i just recently bought a 2022 macbook pro m2 with the touch bar for $480 US and honestly i think i got lucky- cycle count for the battery was less than 25, touch bar works, and some dents but it doesnt affect the laptop in terms of performance. You would just have to be careful in searching on marketplace with how they post the pictures. always see if the seller communicates with you properly that gives you the right information about the unit they're selling. also, stay away from macbooks with stickers on since they leave a mark when you remove them and its not pleasing to the eyes. But i am enjoying the laptop i have and it was a steal so just take your time in finding the right one for you and always have a budget set out since new macbooks are crazy expensive.

    Has an apple I have a lot of Macs and Apple devices in general. So I think I could definitely say that something as simple as a battery repair is complicated but doable depending on the device. Every battery except for AirPods and Apple Watches could be replaced. This is especially the case now that Apple has unlocked their iPhones therefore you to replace them, but the MacBook replacement had to get through a lot of stuff to replace them but like I said it’s doable.😅
