    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.

    How to: 5120x1440 @ 144hz over HDMI 2.1 w/ M1 MacBooks on Samsung Neo G9

    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...

    According to this article - pretty much everyone should hold on any purchases until the M3 arrives. 🤔 https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2023/08/20/apple-macbook-pro-m3-max-macbook-air-m3-details-specs-leak/

    Is it just me or is the MBA screen flimsy?

    I have a refurbished MBA (M2, 2022), it's 8 months old. When I received it, the screen first smelt like glue. I didn't know who to tell.. but now I think this is part of the problem. 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...

    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.
