Since the pile is small now we've become a bit reluctant to replace DVD drives that die. When we run out of spare internal DVD drives then I doubt we'll get more. We had a large a pile of spare DVD drives for them but any more the stuff they need comes on USB flash drives. Adding RAM and a new hard drive to an aging computer can mean getting a couple more years out of it. We have some old computers that get beat up because they are in workshops, and we keep some RAM for them that we pilfered from the ones that died before. The CAD people have some big HP towers that we keep spare power supplies and video cards for. We keep a pile of spare hard drives for all the newer computers. We keep some other parts for the high end stuff, but even that is shrinking.
If under warranty it gets sent back, if not then it's old enough to write off and send out for recycling. Today if there is a problem with a computer, and it's something other than a hard drive or it's a really high end computer, then the computer is replaced. Once that was completed, Consumer Reports experimented by conducting the same test using Chrome and "found battery life to be consistently high on all six runs." While the organization can't let that affect its final decision due to its protocol to only use the first-party browser, it's something users may want to try.Īs someone that works in IT I've seen the number of replaceable parts get reduced over time.
Generally, according to the report, it's expected for battery life to vary from one trial to another by less than 5 percent, meaning that the battery life variances with the new MacBook Pro are very abnormal. The 15-inch model ranged from 18.5 hours to 8 hours. The general consensus was that "MacBook Pro battery life results were highly inconsistent from one trial to the next." Consumer Reports explains that the 13-inch Touch Bar model saw battery life of 16 hours in one test and 3.75 hours in another, while the non-Touch Bar model maxed out at 19.5 hours, but also lasted just 4.5 hours in another test. The organization tested three MacBook Pro variants: a 13-inch Touch Bar model, a 15-inch Touch Bar model, and a 13-inch model without the Touch Bar. 9to5Mac reports: In a post breaking down the decision not to recommend the new MacBook Pros, Consumer Reports explains that while the new models held up well in terms of display quality and performance, the battery life issues were too big of an issue to overlook. The 2016 MacBook Pro is the first MacBook to fail to receive a recommendation from the nonprofit organization dedicated to unbiased product testing. Consumer Reports has released its evaluation of the new MacBook Pro laptops, and it's not good.
