    MB 1,1-7,1 Running OCLP on Late 2008 MacBook (aluminum, MacBook5,1)?

    So, according to MacTracker, the aluminum 13-in Late 2008 MacBook can run with up to 8 GB of RAM. This is currently really cheap. A 256-GB SATA SSD is, also. Is it worth that investment (about $37) and the effort to install Ventura or Sonoma on it with OpenCore Legacy Patcher? My son needs a...

    Buying a used Intel MacBook Pro 13-inch

    My elderly parents own a late-2013-vintage 13-inch MacBook Pro running MacOS Mojave. A few months ago, the battery failed in this laptop, meaning it must be plugged-in at all times. The instant it is disconnected, it behaves like a desktop Mac suffering from a power failure; it reboots the next...

    I bought a MacBook Air M1 at the store. After two months, the speakers of this laptop started crackling.

    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...

    MacBook Air screen

    I was cleaning my Macbook Air, 2020 with a microfiber and in a second a part of my screen display goes off. The screen is not under warranty so I need to pay a huge cost. How is the screen so fragile that it can be damaged with a microfiber cloth???

    Macbook Pro to Macbook Air

    I have a 2016 13" MBP, and it struggles with Adobe Photoshop and especially Premier Pro. I don't use AP a lot, but I am in Photoshop quite a bit. I've heard the M1 in the air is sufficient to run Adobe, so if I can save $1k I'd be happy running with a MBA. (I use dual monitors) Can anyone...

    MacBook Air M1 ( 2020) questions

    Originally I wanted a new MacBook Air M2 however I have gone off the idea and I really do hate the notch, I was instead going to opt for a 14” MacBook Pro but I feel that even though I need a little bit of power, the machine will be complete overkill for what I truly need it for and it’s a LOT...

    Return of the MacBook?

    Since M2 didn’t make the splash at Apple’s March event that I initially thought it would, some recent rumors have caused me to re-speculate on a future product roadmap. Here goes: Will there be an iPad Studio? Gurman alluded to Apple’s interest in larger than 12.9” iPads awhile back. But that...
