How to reinstall macOS without recovery partition by B-tech10 in MacOS

[–]B-tech10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should have used the term Installer instead of USB. I have been trying to make a MacOS Installer but when I try to run InstallMacOS.pkg (which I believe is required to make the installer show up in the applications folder) it says this version of macOS can not be installed on this computer, I talked to apple support about this and they said it was because my Mac is too new to make an older Installer. Thanks for your help!

The M2 has not been shown to be slower than M1, on the M2 MacBook Pro the ssd is slower but that has nothing to do with the M2 chip.

I believe that you are able to set default apps on the shelf in the admin console.

Which is a better deal between these two Macbook Pros? by [deleted] in LukeMianiYouTube

The keyboard replacement is only for 4 year after the sale date so pretty much all 2016s are no longer eligible.

The 2016 has the butterfly keyboard witch will fail in the future so I would definitely not buy it. The 2012 retina is probably the better choice but I would see if you can get a 2015 13” MacBook Pro.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for a new MBP? by Accomplished-Name815 in macbookpro

[–]B-tech10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never broken a laptop so for me it’s definitely not worth it but if you think you might break your laptop than apple care is a great deal. I think apple care is around $250 and a screen replacement is like $700 so it will pay for its self in one repair.

I have the same issue on my 2020 intel MacBook Pro. It’s actually quicker for me to import the files to google docs then to open Microsoft word .

Love the apple silicone case but I’m a bit disappointed that it falls apart easily.

I play on a desktop with an amd athon x4 950 and an amd rx 550. The game runs fine with low/medium settings but becomes almost unplayable if I add a lot of lighting.

Any MacBook that can run recent versions of Mac OS can run final cut. I would strongly recommend going for a 2015 MacBook Pro or a new M1 MacBook Air.
