    Upgrading 2006 17" MBP to M1?

    Hey, I know this looks like a stupid question but it's something I've genuinely been curious about. I have several 17" MBPs from 2006 that are pretty much useless due to their internal hardware, but I really love the design, size, and keyboard of those pre-unibody Macs. I was thinking of...

    The other day I accidentally knocked over a bottle of 70% solution isopropyl alcohol and some of it squirted onto my monitor and leaked into the enclosure through the bottom bezel.

    At home, I work on my M1 MacBook Air connected in clamshell mode to my 23.7-inch LG UltraFine 4K Display, but I notice the battery usually charges to 100%, and remains charged while connected. However, I've been told that it's not ideal for battery life to work with the laptop plugged in all...

    Can't fix underscan on Dell external monitor

    Hello there,I just got a Dell P2422H display, and when I first plugged it into my m1 MacBook Air, it worked seamless, there was no underscan. However, after my Mac went to sleep and I woke it up later, the display started showing underscan. It makes it horrible to look at. I tried a lot of ways...

    I own an M1 MacBook Pro for my personal use, my work gave me an M1 MacBook Air recently, and I've noticed everything on the screen of the MacBook Air is significantly larger than on the Pro model. Why is this? The screens have the same resolution size, it's kind of like the whole display on the...

    Is Playing Roblox on M1 Bad?

    Roblox isn't optimized for M1 yet, so it's using Rosetta. Whenever I use it there's no frame drops or anything, its just gets warm and the battery drains a bit faster. All I'm wondering is if its doing any damage to the computer while gaming with rosetta. Thanks,

    Best Monitor for M1 Macbook Air?

    Got a M1 Air few months back for work, and it's incredible. Only problem? When I connect it to any 1920x1080 monitor via HDMI the text is pretty fuzzy, which I can't have as I write a lot for work. I figured a 4k monitor would fix this, but I need to be sure the text won't be fuzzy AT ALL...

    M1 MBA: Lowest keyboard backlight setting too bright

    The lowest increment for keyboard brightness still seems very bright on my M1 MBA. I used to be able to set it much lower on my previous Macbooks. This may seem trivial, but it is a significant issue for my specific needs. I tried restoring the keyboard backlight function keys and used...

    Mac Quality Monitor for MacBook Air

    I've used variations of MacBook Pro's since first switching to Mac in 2007 and recently went from a 2016 Retina MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air. I bought a 24" 1080p monitor for around £200 knowing the resolution wouldn't be as high, but damn. It was ugly after coming from a Mac display. I...

    M1 MacBook Air Keyboard Uniformity

    I am curious to see what other people's experiences have been like with their M1 MacBook Airs. Does your keyboard have keys that are all uniform in feel/stability (other than the spacebar) or do you have some keys that are looser than the others? I'm not sure if the selections that I provided...

    M1 MacBook Air display lid makes a "sticky" noise when opened

    I recently bought an M1 MacBook Air and the display lid seems to make a quiet but noticeable "sticky clicking" noise when opening it, especially after being left closed for a while. Anyone else have this issue? Is it normal or should I go and get it fixed?

    iPad Pro MBA Arrives Monday, Sell iPP or Keep for expensive e-reader and Sidecar?

    I’m so torn, I love my 2020 11in iPP with MK and AP2, but I’m doing a lot more side work that really feels better on a laptop (full computer) setup. So I ordered an M1 MBA and planned on selling my iPP to cover a fair portion of the cost. I’ve made the calls to Apple to discuss how to transfer...

    Macbook Air Physical Comparison - M1 vs. Late 10 - Mid 17 [pics]

    Just got my M1 MBA. It is amazing to see how the current generation compare to the last generation (late 10 ~ mid 17) of 13' and 11' in terms of form factor. The current MBA 13' is basically the same width as the MBA 11' with a bit longer in terms of depth, while retaining the 13' screen size...
