  • Apple's intricate Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable design revealed under CT scan

    Non-active Thunderbolt 4 cables are 1-meter or less in length. Good ones cost about $25. Beyond that length active cables are required and while Apple charges $129 dollars a good version from a competitor is still around $90. As others have noted, Thunderbolt 4 cables should not be compared with USB-C cables, even though the connector is the same.

  • Apple hit with class action suit over MacBook, MacBook Pro butterfly switch keyboard failu...

    Three months after purchasing my MacBook Pro in 2016 the “T” key became unresponsive. I took it into the Apple store in San Francisco expecting and immediate replacement, but was surprised to be told it would require a repair. They said I could purchase a new replacement and return it when the repair was complete two weeks later. Instead I left it for repair and used used my old computer.

    Apple’s refusal to replace a 90-day old computer which, was used for work, led me to believe they knew about the problem and would be stonewalling consumers until an updated MacBook Pro was released. Next I purchased AppleCare for the MacBook Pro and will continue to return it for repair as often as needed.

    I’m hoping Apple takes some heat for their failure to support professional users. You can be sure any future updates to the MacBook Pro will include a new and improved keyboard design.
