Apple 2016 MacBook Pro Repair Services in Kenya

Models A1707, A1706 & A1708 (Intel, Touch Bar & Non-Touch Bar)

The 2016 Apple MacBook Pro lineup introduced significant changes to the MacBook Pro series, including the Touch Bar on select models and a thinner, lighter design. This generation included the 15-inch MacBook Pro (A1707), the 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports (A1706), and the 13-inch MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 ports (A1708). All three models use Intel processors, and the A1706 and A1707 feature the first-generation Touch Bar, while the A1708 retains the standard function keys.

These Intel-based MacBooks are still widely used in Kenya, especially among professionals, creatives, developers, and business users. However, after years of intensive use, these machines often require professional maintenance or repair due to keyboard issues, battery degradation, display problems, logic board faults, and connectivity wear.

PixelPro Devices provides expert repair services for all 2016 MacBook Pro models through our Nairobi and Mombasa service centers, serving Nairobi and its suburbs, as well as the Coast region.

Understanding the 2016 MacBook Pro Series

The 2016 MacBook Pro series was a major redesign. The introduction of the Touch Bar replaced the traditional function keys on the A1706 and A1707 models, while the A1708 kept the standard keyboard. Apple’s butterfly keyboard design was included across all models, offering a thin and precise typing experience, but it became known for reliability challenges.

Intel processors in these MacBooks deliver strong performance, but generate more heat than newer Apple Silicon models. Over time, this can affect batteries, logic boards, and other internal components. At PixelPro Devices, our technicians are Apple macOS certified, trained to accurately repair and maintain Intel MacBook Pro systems.
