    My brand new MacBook Air 2018 has that rattle sound from the display when tilted.

    Anyone else? This is what it sounds like when you shake it: When you just tilt it the sound is much quieter.

    Can anybody type "nvram -p" in Terminal on new MacBook Air 2018 just to see what is the default parameters, especially if there any string called "AutoBoot" and any parameters for that?

    2018 MBA Slow WiFi Transfers

    Has any body else experienced slower than expected network file transfers over Wifi? I have noticed transferring large video files (2GB+) from my 2018 MacBook Air to a Western Digital MyCloud NAS is 4x-5x slower than it was on my 2013 MBA. Very puzzling.

    2018 MBA vs MBP trackpad size

    If you compared them side by side, you will immediately notice MBA trackpad is smaller than the MBP counterpart. Theory? Logically it seems they wanted to distinguish pro line from the air by deliberately making the air trackpad smaller thus compelling buyers to opt for the pro models and pay...
