Hi everyone

Just saw this: if you have a 15" inch MBP sold 2015-2017 you should urgently read it and check whether your machine is at risk of battery fire...

Apple is recalling some of its 15in MacBook Pro laptops over a battery fire risk.

The company said on Thursday that a limited number of its largest laptop line, sold between September 2015 and February 2017, contained batteries that “may overheat and pose a safety risk”.

Cheers
