    Apple MacBook Air 2014/2013/2012 with Logic Pro

    Good Day Everyone. I'm not a MacBook user and know very little about Apple Products. I've only been using Garageband on an old iPad for a few years. I'm an amateur musician and want to use Logic Pro on an MacBook but I have a small budget. I'm looking at some older and cheaper models. One of...

    Going back to 13" from 15" MBA?

    When the 15" MBA was announced, I just knew it was going to replace my 13" M1. I used 15" Pros for close to 10 years before the M1 Air, and really missed the screen size.

    As the title suggests, I have a 13-inch Macbook Air M2 that I bought last November. Overall, it's the best computer design I think I've ever owned, but it's also the worst-performing. The computer locks up and "stutters" at seemingly random times. Once it starts it keeps on. I don't do any heavy...

    M1 MBA owners with 8Gb... any regrets not getting 16?

    I have always been a believer in never going light on RAM in a computer. So far my 8gb in the MBA seems like it is enough. But I keep thinking long term would I have been better off with 16?
