    My thoughts on the new MacBook Air and total MacBook lineup confusion

    With the new MacBook Air making the MacBook lineup even more a mess than it was before, I thought I would share my thoughts on how to fix it. It would start with simplifying everything, with just 3 models: MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. MacBook would be similar to the 13” Pro, but the...

    Upgradeable SSD in 2018 Macbook Air?

    Hi! How likely do you think it is that the SSD in the Airs will be upgradeable (and operate stable on a non-default SSD disk)? Paying $200 for a 1TB SSD + m2 adapter, instead of $1200 for the 1.5TB, is tempting...

    New $999/1099 12" MacBook should have been released today and here is why

    Now, all of this is just my personal opinion, but I am kind of mad at Apple for not updating the 12" MacBook even if I don't own one and do not plan to. Nobody in their right mind, as another post here states right in the title, should buy the 12" MacBook right now and here are my reasons why...

    Swap an SSD from MBP 2015 to MBA 2014

    My wife has an early 2014 Macbook Air. I have a mid 2015 MBP. I'm about to install a new SSD into my 2015 MBP and I was wondering if I could take my outgoing SSD and put it into her 2014 MBA. Thanks for any help.

    Two days ago my daughter spilled a little bit of water on my MBA! I unplugged it and turned it off right away. Let it dry until today. Turned it on and the keyboard worked to let me type in my password but once I was logged in it stopped working and the trackpad doesn’t work either. Plus my fan...

    Macbook Air 'System' Taking Up Storage

    So, in the process of trying to clean up my computer this week, I've somehow made my problem worse. Yesterday, I had 36 GB available of space. I went through the process of removing nearly 10GB of material from my computer in videos, pictures, documents, and unused apps. Now, however, I have...

    2018 MacBook Air Concept

    Here is a concept of the 2018 MacBook Air: It will have the same chassis and footprint as the current 13" MacBook Air, but with a larger Retina display and reduced bezels. Apple will likely standardise the keyboard of their MacBook lineup and go with their controversial butterfly keyboard, as...

    SSD adapter to USB for MacBook Air (2013-2014)

    Hello, Background: I'm the proud and despondent owner of a Macbook Air that's apparently died after I forgot it on the garden table for the time it took to be rained on... The machine won't boot, won't talk to me when I ask for forgiveness either-- sadly, I think she's done. Machine: All I...

    Macbook air, beeping not starting up

    I have a macbook air that just beeps when I try and start it up. I should note that this is the original 2008. I have since replaced it, but like to keep the older model as part of my collection. Is there any way to fix this, I would enjoy if this was still running.

    Which (slightly used) Macbook should I buy for college?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a Macbook for college and I can't decide between the 2015 Macbook Pro, the 2016 Macbook, or the 2017 Macbook Air. All are listed on ebay in good working condition with the exception of mild scratches/ dents which don't really bother me. All are sold by highly...
