    When will the next MacBook Air 13 inch come out?

    I want to get a new MacBook Air 13 inch. Mine is from 2018. The current one for sale is from last year (2022) and I would rather wait to buy a 2023 or 2024 MacBook Air 13 inch IF it's a possibility it would come out anytime soon. What do you all think? Historically, how often do MacBook Airs...

    M2 15" MacBook Air Can't handle Apple Pages

    Okay that's a bit hyperbolic. But there is one task I do in Pages which has it running like this: 100.1% CPU usage! And it was getting pretty warm as well. I used to do the same task on my 2017 iMac and it really struggled, so I threw the new MacBook Air at it, expecting it to fly through it...

    MacBook Air 15" M2 Thermals - it *should* run cooler

    The 15" MacBook Air M2 should run cooler than the 13" Air M2, wouldn't you expect? With a greater amount of case, Apple should be able to provide better passive cooling. Hopefully tests will bear that out, once folks get their hands on it next week.

    The "I just bought/ordered/got/shipped my new 15" MBA" thread

    That entry price was a surprise to me today - reflecting the 13" features not as much. Was hoping for speaker grilles on the sides of the keyboard though, a lot of plain space there. Who's going for one? My order is in for a 16/512 Silver with the 70W adapter.

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009) - Anyone running a similar?

    Anyone running a similar laptop to this? I've maxed the RAM, changed the hard drive and replaced the battery. Still works well but I plug in an external drive every few days to back up. For the most part this laptop works great, but has issues w/ some programs like google sheets and...

    Would I be crazy to trade-in my 10.2" iPad for an 11" MBA?

    I'm a fun-sized university student: a skinny and short twink. As the main computer in my dorm, I use the 13-inch MacBook Air M1, which does everything I need. I seriously love the horsepower this device offers for my writing and content creation needs, but bringing it to university in a...

    15 Macbook Air + New colors?

    I just saw that there is potential for a new 13 inch macbook air, alongside the 15, but the processor will still be the M2 chip. I’m not really sure what new features they would add, and even if they did brobg some new features what would they advertise? I feel like a logical answer may be new...
