    New MacBook vs Secondhand MacBook Pro

    Hi guys, Need an honest opinion. Am currently using a 2010 MacBook white. While it has served me well, it has started to become laggy and unresponsive. I was thinking of getting an upgrade. But I'm caught in between two decisions. Do I get a brand new MacBook Air or purchase a secondhand...

    One drop of water went into my MBA keyboard, should I worry?

    OKay, so this might sound really stupid, but I was watching a movie on my MacBook in the dark and I have a cold. So I bought one of those nose sprays to air out my nose.. Point is when in the dark I was putting back the spray on the table next to me, one very small drop (more like a bubble...

    Hi everyone, I currently have an 11" MacBook Air (mid-2011). My computer isn't quite on its last leg. I use it frequently, and the only issue I have is a warning telling me that my battery needs serviced. While the performance is still relatively fine (especially after I freed up some MUCH...

    MBP vs. MBA ($500 price difference)

    I have a mid 2013 13" Macbook Air with 8gb RAM. It's the best computer I've ever owned but I made a mistake in buying a 128GB HD which is almost always at capacity and has caused a lot of frustration the past 6 months. Otherwise, love the form factor, battery life and keyboard. I don't even...

    MBA overheating in clamshell mode - myth?

    Hi all, I'm planning to get a baseline iMac or a Macbook Air + external display as I mainly work at the desk. Some Internet rumors say that Macbooks can overheat if you run them in clamshell mode hooked up to an external display. Is this just a myth? Does anybody have any experience of...

    Hi all! I'm in the market for a new mac, but have some problems choosing between a baseline iMac or a Macbook Air + external display. I seldom need the portability of a Macbook, and the few times I do I often manage with an iPad. BUT the baseline iMac (the only I can afford) is basically a...

    Text Replacement list gone

    So my text replacement list disappeared on my iPhone 6S after upgrading to the last iOS, but I replaced the list, and it seems to be working. However, the list has been missing/unsynced from my MBA for quite some time. Perhaps since I upgraded to Sierra (when it first came out). Any idea on a...

    Storage question with virtual drive

    I've attached these two screens of my drive storage report. Since this is a MacBook Air I'm trying to watch my storage space and it appears as though this 30gb drive is virtual inside the 15gb, which is backwards so I know I'm not looking at it right. I'm trying to see if I need the 15gb, but...

    iPad Air II to MacBook Air

    I've had various iPad's for as long as I can remember. Lately, I've seriously been considering replacing my iPad with a MacBook Air (I have an iMac and iPhone already). Over time, typing long things (posting on forums, mainly) via the iPad, is a little tiresome. Has anyone made a similar switch?
