Does the 2017 12” Macbook connect to a thunderbolt display?
I use it with my 15” MBA no issue with the TB to USB-C adapter from apple.
i attempted to connect it to my MacBook, and nothing.
I’m looking to buy a new laptop cuz my 2017 MacBook 12” 8/256 is getting pretty slow.
What I basically use now for my work is Outlook, WhatsApp, Safari (usually 10-15 tabs), Notes, Word, Notion, Google Sheets, Preview and Zoom. I use Zoom 3-5h a week only but when I have it+WA+Preview the...
Hello all, the AppleCare+ coverage on my 2017 12” MacBook expires next year, but I’ve been reading that it is possible to extend it on a monthly basis beyond the 3 year term. Is this option available for the 12” MacBook? Has anyone had any experience with this extension?
Extend AppleCare coverage
So, I believe the next Macs placeholders are already in the lineup right in front of our faces.
#1 - the M1 MacBook Air at $999 is the placeholder for an M2 12-inch (12.2-12.4”) MacBook Air. Once stock is depleted of that enclosure (it’s the most popular Mac, so I’m sure the current production...
All I wanted for christmas was a 12inch m1 or m2 macbook but it obviously hasn’t happened. Does anybody know if the form factor is dead and if so, what the reasoning is?
Cheers
I'm considering getting a new iPad Pro, but am debating whether I need it. for context, I have a 12 " MacBook (2017) that I use as my main device. I also have a surface pro 5. I would primarily be using this new iPad it for studying and note taking. I'm wondering whether the iPad would really...
Dunno if there's a similar thread already, but I personally want to give a damn appreciation to this marvel of engineering.
Yes, lots of people said this is "Just a Facebook machine", "Underpowered as f**k", yadda yadda. I digress.
My own MacBook has been said otherwise. It's a beautiful rose...
Hi,
I'm really hoping someone here can advise me. My main computer is my 12" MacBook (I believe 2015) which has been nearing the end of its life for some time now, but I've managed to keep it limping along. But suddenly tonight when I try to log in, nothing happens when I type, even though...
Hi
As we know the "USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter" does not! allow the Macbook 12" 2017 to output 4K@60Hz because HDMI is limited to version 1.4, so only 4K@30Hz.
Goal: Power the Macbook and!! output 4k@60Hz
Can an adapter with Displayport + UBS-C (power delivery) allow the Macbook 12"...
I have a mid-2012 1.8ghz i5 MacBook Air with 128gb storage. I use it lightly for web browsing and emails. The £800 m3 MacBook deal in the UK has me tempted for the screen upgrade alone (plus battery and 256gb storage). However, will I see any overall speed/performance upgrade?
Has anyone else...
Hi,
I need/want an i7 cpu but don't need a quad core or a Macbook PRO (I hate the Touch Bar and the model without is not updated). Why the Macbook 12, which is retina and i7, is not updated yet? I want but I can't buy an Apple laptop now basing my personal preferences.
Any rumours about a...
Investigating the options for connecting a 4K monitor to my MacBook, when at my home office.
Ideal use case:
4K60, i.e. 60 frames per second or 60GHz
Selection of USB-C type A and C ports, for supplemental connectivity
Retained USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) throughput on additional ports
Within other...
Hey guys,
Looks like John Lewis have mispriced the base model and i5 model to be a 1/3 less . So in case anyone needs a last minute Xmas gift, stock still there. I picked one up, can’t complain about £500 off :)...
I have ordered i7 16gb 512 Macbook, i7 specifically in hopes that it will be snappier than the i5 as time goes by. However I have a lingering feeling that the battery life on the i7 model will be worse than the i5.
What are your opinions and experiences on the same class of CPU i5/i7 and its...
Hello random people of internet and Mac fans,
I took my girlfriend's 12" Macbook 2016 to use on the go after we bought sth. better for her. However, there have occurred some marks at the bottom of the Mac probably because of the transparent plastic cover used for months, and I don't know how to...

Hello mates,
I’m stuck between choosing VMWare Fusion or Parallels for my 12 MacBook. I will be using windows 10 for some light software development. I have a student discount for Parallels ($39.95) but I ran a VMware fusion trail last month and it was pretty cool (much better than my...
I was really hoping Apple was going to update the 12" MacBook alongside the 13" MacBook Air. It's been 17 months since it was last updated.. 17 months with the same pricing.. it seems so wrong to buy it new today but it's the only option I'm left with besides finding one 2nd hand.
Having silent...

I am desperate for my new Macbook to arrive. I didnt order it and dont have access to the tracking details.
I selected a 12 inch MacBook as portability was the most important for this device BUT I have upgraded the processor to an I7 and the Ram to 16GB. Because of this Apple estimate 2 - 3...
