    MBA 2020 Crashes after being unplugged from LG 4K Ultrafine Display

    I've done a search in this forum and can't see anything on here, but I vaguely remember similar issues with other MacBooks when the Ultrafine displays were first released. Typically what will happen is that when I unplug the single USB-C cable from the Air, the machine will either immediately...

    Upgrading from 2009 MBP

    Hey folks. I'm upgrading from a 2009 MBP that I hardly use anymore because it's gotten quite slow (my own negligence) and has gone through way too many battery cycles. I'm debating between the new Air and latest 13" MBP with or without touch bar, but having been out of the loop for some time on...

    Macbook Air 2018 or Mac Mini 2018?

    I want to migrate back to MacOS. I had a MBA 2011 and replaced it with Microsoft Surface Pro 4 2016. It's portable, but now I'm usually working in one place and find the Surface buggy. Plus, it's struggling to keep up (I think it's the 4GB RAM). Anyway, as I don't want to spend €2000 for a...

    Can I upgrade MacBook Air with a newer motherboard?

    I have a 2013 Macbook Air 13" (i5, 4GB). The MacBook Air's design seems to have stayed pretty much the same from 2012-2017, so I was wondering if there was anything preventing me from purchasing a fully-specced 2017 motherboard off of eBay with all the components on it and replacing the current...
