High-end model from Apple when it was released between 2016-2017, the MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar follows a similar recipe to the 13" model but with double the fans and a million extra pixels. It's not a model that we come across very often at iClinique. Is this a sign of its robustness? We believe it's mostly because this computer didn't sell as well. The 15" Mac is generally designed in the same way as the 13", just larger.

On the menu of generational issues:

  • The famous Flexgate, causing the image to disappear from the screen due to backlight cable wear. When the backlight stops working, the repair consists of completely changing the screen panel. For an XXL price that has certainly discouraged many owners from repairing it.
  • The keyboard with the "butterfly" return mechanism. Due to keyboard wear, some keys on the MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar get stuck, and the keys don't respond when pressed. For this issue, the sentence of repair is irrevocable: the entire keyboard must be replaced. For just one defective key...
  • Charging problems related to the faulty USB-C controller that requires its replacement through a micro soldering repair on the motherboard.
  • Two fans mean: twice as much dust. While we haven't had a flood of MacBook Pro 15" with graphics card issues yet, overheating in these models is a worrying concern. It should be regularly cleaned from the inside and have the thermal paste changed.
  • The impossibility of changing the hard drive for more storage space.
  • The battery may have low autonomy that requires replacement as it discharges too quickly.
  • Lastly, the trackpad can become defective: the pointer doesn't move on the screen when you swipe on the trackpad.
