    Why is my MacBook Air squeaking like a plastic HP?

    Recently, my M2 air has started making "clicking and squeaking" sounds. They are most noticeable when typing or when the machine is being moved around, even slightly, such as sitting on my lap. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it. If anyone has had or is having a similar...

    Is it just me or is the MBA screen flimsy?

    I have a refurbished MBA (M2, 2022), it's 8 months old. When I received it, the screen first smelt like glue. I didn't know who to tell.. but now I think this is part of the problem. I ignored it.. now months down the line, a little dent in the frame caused a pixel loss that slowly turned into...

    Switched back to a MacBook Air from an iPad Pro w/Magic Keyboard

    I am a tech addict and previously had a MacBook Pro (2017) which I sold when I upgraded to an M1 MacBook Air. As a teacher, I have a windows work laptop that I used daily but hated the experience. I used my Mac for teaching and graduate work which was basically just word documents, powerpoint...

    M2 15" MacBook Air Can't handle Apple Pages

    Okay that's a bit hyperbolic. But there is one task I do in Pages which has it running like this: 100.1% CPU usage! And it was getting pretty warm as well. I used to do the same task on my 2017 iMac and it really struggled, so I threw the new MacBook Air at it, expecting it to fly through it...

    15 Macbook Air + New colors?

    I just saw that there is potential for a new 13 inch macbook air, alongside the 15, but the processor will still be the M2 chip. I’m not really sure what new features they would add, and even if they did brobg some new features what would they advertise? I feel like a logical answer may be new...

    M1, M2, or wait for M3 MBA?

    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!

    That is my question. I was looking for an adblocker for safari. Purchased wipr for safari iPad. Now when I am trying to install it in my M2 air via App Store it shows that payment needs to be made again. Is it just for iOS devices that you make payment once and download it again or does it apply...

    How much did you buy your 512GB M1 MBA for? Comparing to cost of 512GB M2 MBA. M1 vs M2

    The new M2 MBA is missing an extra SSD chip that was present on the M1 MBA and this makes it a bit incorrect to compare the "base" configurations of the M1 and M2 MBAs. youtube.com/watch?v=EFLXf-BeWr4&t=273s youtube.com/watch?v=Ixxn0SUdKAQ&t=364s youtube.com/watch?v=gqYaqBVT5vM&t=258s To get a...
