For now I would wait! Let’s see what Apple announces tomorrow Sept 10th or in October if they don’t announce any Mac hardware. Maybe that will offer some guidance.

Frankly, if your MacBook Pro only needs a new battery I would do that for sure. Its not that expensive and easy to do! [product|IF163-054-2] or [guide|7511]. I would look at also upgrading the RAM and look at replacing your HDD with a SSD drive. I’m sure with these efforts you have at least one more year of useful life.

For now Sierra is still supported with maintenance releases so I wouldn’t worry quite yet, And if needed jumping to Mojave is also possible! I personally would stay away from High Sierra.

Hallo,

I would like a teardown of the famous Sony noise cancelling headphones.

Before i buy one, i would like to know if i can replace the battery .

Looks like you don’t sell the original like your website is advertising.

Got a battery a year and a half ago for a Nexus 5X and is not charging anymore. And no, there is nothing wrong with the phone or charger.

OK let’s start off with an understanding…

I love Seagate hybrid SSHD drives! I don’t recommend the newer model in older SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) 2.5” drive’d systems! The newer FireCuda model is not like the older version!

The older 2.5” model could be put into any! SATA I (1.5 Gb/s),SATA II (3.0 Gb/s), or SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) system.

• Older Seagate Laptop SSHD ST1000LX001 Spec Sheet

Sadly, the newer FireCuda 2.5” can only be used in a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) system! It does not have a means to auto sense the systems SATA ports I/O data rate unlike the older version.

Please correct these two entries system listings:

• 500 GB SSD Hybrid 2.5" Hard Drive
• 1 TB SSD Hybrid 2.5" Hard Drive

Remove the older systems from the supported list. Only systems newer from 2011 onward can use the FireCuda drive.

The problem here is the drive makers are cutting away old tech to cheapen the price of the drive. Many of the disk drive makers are dropping it on the more aggressively priced drives. The FireCuda 3.5” drives still have the tech and all of the Western Digital 2.5” & 3.5” drives are now all fixed SATA III. Just look at the spec sheets. If it doesn’t state it don’t use it!

For reference:

• FireCuda 2.5” Spec Sheet
• FireCuda 3.5” Spec Sheet

Note the SATA Transfer Rates Supported (Gb/s) line on the 3.5” drive offers 6.0/3.0/1.5 support. Unlike the 2.5” drive which only lists the Interface line and only lists SATA 6Gb/s and does not offer SATA Transfer Rates Supported (Gb/s) line at all!

I’ve spoken with high level Seagate engineers because I was encountering issues with the new 2.5” FireCuda drives when they first came out.

I have to say, it’s much better buying DIRECTLY from IFixit! Amazon really sucks big time. Ifixit already shipped my battery!!! Amazon lies about quantity and sits on your orders for DAYS! I cancelled my orders over there and came here! I didn’t know where else to comment. I’m new here.
