    I got my macbook air's keyboard replaced as part of their faulty butterfly keyboard problem. It was shipped back to me today and there is a DENT

    The dent is on the lower right screen part of the mac! What should I do? Is this covered by apple? I believe it happened during shipping. Which would be their fault for not packing it correctly, right? Or the repairman accidentally applied too much force but hoped I wouldn't notice. It seems...

    M1 PRO MBP or M2 MBA?

    So I was looking for MacBooks when I found a good deal on M1P MBP, only 1,299, close to the price of the M2 MBA. I was looking to pick up one for Study, So would you choose M1P MBP over the M2 MBA? I'm pretty sure the MBP is Apple Certified Pre-Owned.

    This is a probably a redundant thread given the mega thread for the HDMI 2.1 fix, but I thought I'd make a stand alone thread in case anyone is desperately googling how to do this (like I was) specifically for the Neo G9. Prerequisites: - M1 MacBook (should also work for M2 but I can't...

I ignored it.. now months down the line, a little dent in the frame caused a pixel loss that slowly turned into...

    M2 MacBook Air 13" Battery Life

    Hi all, I've recently bought brand new 13" M2 MBA, replacing my old 2017 13" MBP with Touch Bar. I was hoping for a massive increase in battery life, considering both M2's efficiency and the fact that it's a new battery, but so far it's been disappointing. I'm getting around 6 hours of Safari...
