    Battery life on MBA 2018 - 6hrs max

    I purchased the new MBA 2018 in hope to get a machine with decent battery life. Unfortunately, the MBA 2018 battery is more than a disappointment to me. I get a max. 6hrs with screen dimmed to 50% and usual Safari web surfing. Youtube and other videos train the battery even further. What's...

    Let's talk about the Gold MacBook Air

    I've been a big fan of Apple's gold products for a couple years now. To me, silver and even space gray have become the new almond. There's only so much gray, grayer, and black you can take before it starts to get depressing and boring. So I bought the 2015 gold 12" MacBook when it came out and...

    Thinking about buying the MacBook Air

    I'm trying to decide what computer to purchase at the moment. The MacBook Air seems underpowered on paper but I am curious wether or not it's worth it? I play games like Civilization 6, Cities Skylines and Sims4 so I understand I would have to buy the BlackMagic Pro eGPU. I currently own a 2015...

    I know this issue has been discussed to death, but as I was speci’ing out a MBA I became alarmed at how quickly things got expensive. I decided to check the refurbished sales at Apple.com and found a 2018 base processor MBP with 512 ssd for LESS than the MBA I was about the buy. The only...

    Mac Mini Workstation?

    I have a mid-2017 Macbook Air. I am planning on getting the new mini to be a workstation for video editing, 3D modeling. Then I can use my Air on the go and at school. Is that a good plan? Also, any suggestions for a cheap 4k monitor? Thanks

    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...

    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...
