How many here think that 2010 Macbook Pros running Windows are "CLASSIC"? I think everything is on-topic for "cctalk", isn't it? Unfortunately, the "cctech" moderated view of the list hasn't worked properly since the list server was rebuilt after a crash several years ago so we are all effect

My 2011 has a new battery as of this spring. *Everything* worked, including a several-hour battery life, but the swelling of the battery made it hard to click the trackpad. That is indeed worth a check. Tom’s suggestion is a good one. - Mark

NO excessive fan noise. I had the back off while changing disks and were pretty clean. Yes.. I could add temp monitoring to see if they are being throttled. Thermal paste can get hard and stop conducting heat. Also, the heatpipes can fail and quit moving the heat from the processor or GPU ov

Hi Fred, I am curious how your batteries are doing in those two MacBook Pros. Are they still original? If yes, is there any swelling noticeable and any weirdness with the touch pad? Thanks Tom Hunter On Fri, Aug 21, 2020 at 7:16 PM Fred Cisin via cctalk wrote: > There must be a better resource

It may be good idea to check the CPU temperature and the airflow inside the computer - dust buildup may reduce airflow and cooling, which in turn may cause CPU throttling. > On 21 Aug 2020, at 07:50, George Rachor via cctalk > wrote: > > I’ll check in the morning but believe the 2 machines ar

I’ll check in the morning but believe the 2 machines are identical except for screen size. I’ll also check for the same version of Parallels. I assume since these are 2010 machines I could upgrade the Parallels to current. They are both running High Sierra. On startup the 17” . Takes a very

Do you have “Tech Tool Pro”, or anything like that? It sounds like you need to run some diag’s on the 17” one. Something isn’t right. If nothing else, run the mac disk check on it. I’m a big believer in DiskWarrior on the Mac. I assume these are the ones you got from Eco? That was a great
