    Random shutoffs and service battery error despite new battery replacement

    Hi all! I have a 2017 Macbook Air - the original battery was running out of juice, so I had it replaced at an Apple store (out of warranty). The "Service Battery" warning is gone in the Finder, as well as under System Information, and coconut battery indicates good battery health with full...

    Need Advice - M1 Macbook Air for CSE student.

    Hello, I am starting college as a CSE student (iMTech course length 5 yrs). I need a laptop for programming and possibly some machine learning (after 5-6 semesters). Is the M1 Macbook AIR right choice for me? Note that I've never used a mac before and I need it to last at least 5-6 years...

    Best Laptop I’ve Ever Owned

    My only reason for posting this is if anyone in my situation is on the fence about pulling the trigger on an M1 MacBook Air. I am admittedly an Apple fanboy and have an embarrassing amount of Apple stuff (some of these are several generations old though)- iMac, iPad Pro, iPhone, Mac Mini as...

    M1 MBA Review from a noobie who feels like sharing

    Hey guys! I've been enjoying MRumors for years but this will be my first time posting anything. I picked up an M1 MacBook Air, configured with 16gb of ram (more on that overkill later) and 512gb SSD. Some background: I'm coming from a late 2011 MacBook Pro, so... yes. Literally anything would be...

    Prepare to have your minds blown in 2021 with Apple's new computers. Here's why...

    Remember this chart from WWDC? Well that very lowest line on Notebooks is the MBA M1. Think about that. The amazingly, stonkingly powerful MBA M1. We now have absolutely no reason to doubt the legitimacy of this chart. What we didn't know back then was the performance axis on this chart didn't...

    MacBook Air unable to connect to bluetooth device

    Hi. I commented on another discussion, but I'm posting a new thread because this was an issue before updating to Big Sur. I obviously need to adjust something on my MacBook (version 11.0.1), but I don't know what that is. I figured out how to pair my Bose soundsport with my iPhone, but I've...

    All Aboard the AS Train!

    As somebody who held off buying a 16" intel as soon as I heard the rumors about AS, I was all aboard the AS train. There was no way I was going to buy an intel machine when Apple was coming out with new kit. Then WWDC happened in June and they officially introed AS. It seemed impressive and the...

    Who has tested FCX on M1?

    Got the "Service Recommended" notification for the battery on my 12" MacBook Retina. It's running hot, and battery health is now 72% (declining by the day.) Under normal circumstances, I'd just pay the $200 for a new battery, but these new M1 MacBooks look so incredible, I think it might be a...

    Intel -> Silicon

    I bought an Intel-based MacBook Air last year. The fans are very loud and annoying. Other than that, my 2019 MBA works perfectly. Should I get an Apple Silicon Mac?

    Gaming Controllers (Dualshock etc) non-responsive in Steam, GeForce Now, Epic Games

    Posted this also on reddit ... controller support seems fine via things like Apple Arcade, but elsewhere is not working on M1 Macs. I only have a Dualshock PS4 Controller to test out, but it's working on Big Sur on Intel Macs. I tested input on 'Controllers Lite' and saw all the buttons are...

    torn between air and pro (regarding thermals)

    After the review embargo lifted, I watched tons of reviews, but I'm still torn. For context, I am a student in need of a new machine, and I will buy the M1 models. I do video editing sometimes, but probably nothing intensive. I barely game, so that factor isn't a deciding factor for me. Other...

    Am I on my own when I say I would love to see a 17" Air M1?

    Who here would like to see an AirM with a 17" display? Maybe it wouldn't be under the "Air" name, but I would like the bigger screen with the specs and form factor we see on the current AirM.

    Macbook Air M1 - Restore from Back-up or Set-up as New?

    Hello everyone - I'm really hoping to get a compelling reason to not set-up my Macbook Air as new. i have my old macbook copy (1TB) backed up to the cloud which includes apps/photos/music/messages/documents. I had a few apps on my old Macbook (Microsoft suite & adobe suite) so I don't have...

    Is this normal

    I bought a MacBook Air from Apple this year and used it only once. I have a tendency to buy things and never open them. tonight I opened it and the battery was at 0 obviously. I plugged it in and it turned on but was running really slow at 1%. It took a couple of percentage points before it ran...

    New SSD in MacBook Air 13" Mid 2013 - Can't install MacOS

    Hi all, because memory was running out I bought a new SSD (Samsung PM981 512GB NVMe M.2, with adapter) for my MacBook Air 13" Mid 2013 (A1466). Before the installation I made a TimeMachine-Backup on an external SSD. I also created an installation USB stick for macOS Catalina (is also currently...
