Changing the Size of Your Macbook Pro’s Hot Corners Changing the size of your Macbook Pro’s hot corners can help improve camera performance, add width to displays, or increase screen space. Adding a bit of width to your laptop can help improve user comfort and create more open spaces to take photos.
Adding a bit of space can help improve productivity as users can now have a full desktop with less laptop attached. Adding a display area with no keyboard or display only one item is fun to see.
Since these features are new and not available on older models, here are some tips on where to buy them. There are new products coming out all the time so you will never run out of things to fix this!
This article will talk about how to change the size of your Macbook Pro’s hot corners.

Find the correct size
When you buy a replacement or new tool, you should be sure to get the correct size for the task at hand.
Some tools are bigger than others and require more effort from your hands. This can be helpful when you are trying to fit the tool in your hand, but it needs to be larger otherwise it would not work.
The smaller bits might require less pressure when holding and using the bit, making it easier to mistake a small gap for a fit. The larger bits might require more force when holding and using the bit, making it more likely that you will break it.
What if the screw breaks?
If your Macbook Pro is damaged beyond use, you have two options: get a new one or try to fix it yourself. The first option is much more reliable as the second is very accessible and possible.
There are a few ways to repair your computer. You can get someone else’s repair services, you can buy one yourself at an electronics store or store, or online. One possibility for repairing your computer is using a CD or DVD drive.
Some problems may require replacing parts of the computer. These may be difficult or impossible to repair using just a CD or DVD drive.
Screw placement on the Macbook Pro
The screw location on the new Macbook Pro models is very unique compared to previous models. Instead of being at the top of the laptop, like on previous models, it is at the back.
This change was made to allow for more space under the laptop where you can install and organize products and services. This also adds some trouble shooting support for some users, as they will need to add another PC to their account to access their products and services.
The new screw location also makes changing out the display easier, as you do not have to remove the whole motherboard or take off any other circuit board. You can still upgrade components without having to buy a whole new machine!
The last difference between old and new Macbooks is that the newer machines have a Touch Bar, which is an integrated touch panel located in front of the keyboard.
Helpful tips for removing and replacing screws
Removing a screw is a little different every time as we show you here in this article!
There are three main parts to taking apart your computer. The top, bottom, and housing parts. The top part is the housing that holds the motherboard. The bottom part is the drive cage that protects the hard drive and SSD.
The second tips for removing screws are on how to replace them. When buying new screws, try using ones with less land area on them. This will prevent resistance when attempting to screw in onto the board. Having hard-to-screw-in screws can put stress on the board and/or user!
The last tips are about how to undress a screw when replacing it.
Use the correct size screw for the job
When building a torx for a MacBook Pro, there are three key points to remember. 1) Use the right size torx for the job, 2) Order the correct length torx for your chain and 3) Use the correct size screw for the job.
To use a standard torx socket, you need aTORX Standard Torx Sockets. These are 1/4-inch-drive sockets that have been reduced to just their wrench shape. They are easy to lose or forget, which is why we recommend ordering at least two pairs!
To use a longer torx socket, you need A-TORX Longer Torxes. These have been reduced to an A-shaped shape with one end extended and another end closed. These must be used with caution, as they can cause damage to your machine or equipment.
Keep your tools clean and oiled
When you are working on your projects, it is important to keep your tools clean. You can do this by using oil or vaseline on the t-discs, t-ring, and screwdriver every time you work on a project.
Vaseline is a great way to keep the glue from drying out or breaking down. If you use mineral oil instead of Vaseline, it will last longer but may require taking more sets of tools. Either way, save them!
When working with wood, avoid cutting through the material. Instead, use an antique piano magnet or something similar to hold your pieces together.
Don’t use power tools without the right fasteners
Occasionally, you may need to use a power tool without the appropriate fasteners or screws. This can happen when doing some quick fixes on your computer or project.
Before you start working, make sure you have the right sized screw for the job and that your ability to use a power tool is up to date. Some people have trouble putting on a pair of gloves or cutting clothing off of an arm because their power tool does not have a clamping mechanism that holds the item secure.
To avoid having to call someone or yourself for help, be sure to always have all of the correct screws and fasteners on any machine you use.
Know how to read Torx sizes
Reading a torx size on an item can make all the difference in whether you break it or not. Luckily, reading a torx size is easy.
Most torx sizes are measured in Hexagons. A hex is either an angle or a circle with an edge.
The bottom angle of a torx size is called the tip. The width is called the base. These two components form the rest of the wrench, which can be used to fix many things.
Reading a torx size can be done in several ways. Some people use their fingers, while others use a wrench sizing kit.
