    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.

    MacBookAir 2020 battery life

    I just bought a new MBA2020 (16GB RAM) and the battery life is around 4hours. This is no way comparable to the MBA that I owned before (I guess it was 2015 model) that consistently gave me 8 hours battery life. Is there a problem with my machine? I mostly just run code in Terminal and...
