m1 mba

On my LAN I currently have three Macs, an M1 iMac, an Intel iMac (2019) and an M1 MBA, all running 13.4.1. I also have a couple of Raspberry Pies, a couple of Apple TVs and an assortment of phones and tablets and IOT devices. I'm having problems with SMB on the M1 MBA. I can connect via SMB...

Hello, I've been looking for a new Macbook for studies in Late August, the M1 looks really cheap, but the M2 looks nice and there are some rumors about an M3 model, should I buy an M1, M2 MBA now or wait for M3 MBA? I want a 13-in model, since I had issues with traveling on bigger laptops!

I have 16GB M1 MBA. Love it to bits. While playing some games on it, I noticed that CPU temps reach 95 degree celsius and stay at that temps the whole session. (used the "Hot" app). The "battery gas gauge" temps were around 45C max. I am not worried about processor getting fried, I know Apple...

I'm getting daily kernel panics and restarts, occurring when my A2337 MBA is in sleep mode overnight. It's always left unplugged but with plenty of charge on the battery, and no apps running. Each morning, it's showing "Your computer was restarted because of a problem...". At the top of the...

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...

Thanks to my buddy @leons who’s updated to 11.3, I’ve just been notified of this. I myself have stayed on 11.2.3 and all aspects of sideloading still work as always. Installing apps by the traditional sideloading methods on 11.3, and running sideloaded apps you have already installed, has been...

A list of tweaks/fixes to try to fix excessively high writes on M1 Originally all suggested by me in ssd swap - high usage of Terabytes Written, doing these has reduced my M1 daily SSD write from ranges of 350-500GB to 25-50GB, while maintaining the same heavy workflows and not losing any...

I have an LG Ultrafine 5K (27MD5KA-B) and I want to use with my an M1 MBA. When I hook it up, it only shows 2560x1440. I think that means it's only showing one of the 2 threads for the monitors, but that's about my limit of it. Anyone else having this problem? Suggestion? LG doesn't publicly...

Hi folks, just wondering how long it takes for 1 of your Mac's to connect to another Mac on the same network? I have had a Mac mini for many years, and have recently changed my 2015 MBP to the base M1 MBA, but one thing I do not remember taking so long to do in the past, was connect to the Mac...

Was looking at how much storage is being used on my base M1 MBA, and there is a section in the storage graph listed as "other", how do I find out what that is? Clicking on manage, then shows me this, but it can't be clicked on to do anything with it?
