    MacBook, Air(M2) or Pro (M3)

    Finally time to upgrade. Current machine is a 2010(!) MacBookPro 13”. I’m torn between a refurb MacBook Pro 14” M3 or a MacBook Air 15” M2 brand new (Best Buy still has these, apparently). Both configured with a 1TB SSD and 16 GB RAM, there’s only $200 difference, so not really an issue. My...

    iPhone 15/Plus The iPhone Air

    I remember when I made the jump from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone X and just couldn’t get used to that brick in my pocket. The X feels uncomfortable to hold in one hand for longer periods of time because it starts biting into your pinky, but at least it has rounded corners. Now I wanna upgrade...

    MBA shelf life - how old dare I go?

    Hi! I’m used to replacing my Macs every 3-4 years, going back 20+ years now. However, come May this year my trusty old MBA (2012 model, purchased 2013) is celebrating 11 years.

    Sonoma may have bricked my Mac

    Disclaimer: this could very well be caused by faulty hardware, or an act of God. I am not saying Sonoma caused the issue, but I did see some funny things within Sonoma hours prior to the bricking. So yesterday, my 13" MacBook Air M2 was fried. As I was normally typing, one of the keys kept...

    Any Web Devs using the new 15"?

    Any Web Devs out there who got the new 15" MBA? Did you go for the 24Gb of Ram? How is the screen treating you, is it sufficient? And would you consider this over a 13" MBA, especially if you had to carry it every day to work and back? I've got a 13" M1 atm which works fine for me, especially...

    External monitors with the new 15" Air

    Hey, I've only ever had MBPs before but the Air looks like it will give me what I needed, except I see it only supports one external monitor. Is that just because it only has 2x thunderbolt ports, is it not possible to get a dongle to solve that? I work with 2 external monitors which is a...

    Charging M1 MBA with 20W charger?

    Has anybody tried to use a 20W charger as their main charger for an M1 MBA and if so is it enough to at least use it plugged in under load without draining the battery, maybe even charge it a bit in the mean time?

    Would you like a 13" MacBook with active cooling and a Pro Processor?

    As the announcement of the 15" MacBook is nearing and knowing it will probably also have the option for a Pro class Processor along with active cooling, would you like to see a similar 13" model with the same specs? I assume the design is probably going to be different to the new MBA one so a...

    Should I upgrade to the new MacBook Pro?

    Hello macrumors community, I would need your input. About two years ago I bought a MacBook Air for university with a M1 Chip, 16Gb RAM and a 512Gb SSD. Now unfortunately I had a display damage which was not caused by me. So fortunately the insurance covers the damage and I am compensated for...

    What MacBook Air Colors do you think/want to come?

    The big thing about the MacBook Air M2 is it’s new redesign, as much as the M2 chip is promoted, it’s not really what makes it interesting in comparison to the M1 model and other previous Airs( in my opinion), as the préformante upgrades are minimal in comparison to intel -> M1. Nonetheless, one...

    New M2 MBA is a missed opportunity.

    In my opinion, Apple's design decisions with the new MBA are a missed opportunity. Instead, they should have released TWO devices to better differentiate their product line while covering more ground - as is, too many people of too many different stripes will be underserved, and Apple's product...
