  1. 16_inch_MacBook_Air_Pls

    Disappointed. No 15”/16”, $400 to get to 16GB/512GB. M2 still on TSMC N5. Sitting out this generation.

    The process node is TSMC’s fault for delaying N3. But the lack of a large screen option and the humiliating 8GB/256GB starting config certainly isn’t. I’ll never render a video in my life but I want a larger screen for office work and content consumption. I’m not paying $2500 for a 16” MacBook...

    Replace battery with one from an older model

    I have a 2017 MacBook air (A1466) with a dead battery, and an older model (A1369). When I Google the battery replacement component for each model they seem to be compatible with each other. Can I just use my old battery in the new one instead of buying a whole new component? Thanks, Vinje
