    MB Air M1 running Logic Pro

    I've been waiting for a new MB for a long time. I've been using my MacBook Pro 2011 for a while for general work but also use Logic Pro and, unsurprisingly, can't take it anymore.

    All iPads iPad Air 2020 speakers

    Now, I have the iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) and I want to buy iPad Air (2020), because of display problems. But I’m afraid, that iPad Air’s speakers are not good enough and a lot worse that my iPad Pro’s speakers. What do you think? Is there such a big difference between these two?

    I just ordered a 2020 MacBook Air and was looking for a clear matte skin for the top/bottom case, sides, palm rest, and trackpad. I saw one from BestSkinsEver, but it’s for the 2018-2019 MBA.

    Please see attached pic. 1) The symptoms started out as a very small black "blob" - over the months it increased in size up to the point you see in the attached photo. It seems pretty obvious to me that I have to change the screen, yet I just want to make sure it's not a different problem...

    Smaller DropBox Client for older 4GB Air

    My Mid 2011 MacBook Air has 4GB or RAM. But this is squeezed by DropBox's current client, which is huge. Is there any older client still around. I do not want the fancy features, just sync in a small footprint.
