    What MacBook Air Colors do you think/want to come?

    The big thing about the MacBook Air M2 is it’s new redesign, as much as the M2 chip is promoted, it’s not really what makes it interesting in comparison to the M1 model and other previous Airs( in my opinion), as the préformante upgrades are minimal in comparison to intel -> M1. Nonetheless, one...

    Cooling System in a M1 Pro, how it works in clamshell mode?

    How works the cooling system (fans) in a MacBook Pro 14" in clamshell mode? When the screen is open the hot air comes out from the bottom of the screen. So, i was wondering how it works and if it affects the cooling when the fans are in use in clamshell mode?

    How can people say the MacBook Pro isn’t good looking ?

    I’m rather baffled as to how people say the Macbook Pro isn’t good looking and why even some people have said they find it “ugly”, what are you smoking? Its probably the sexiest piece of tech I’ve ever owned , I frequented this forum before purchasing one and I saw people wanting the air because...

    My 2010 macbook 13"

    My MacBook (4/512) from 2010 is my daily driver, and let's just say it's faster than my Samsung 2020 Chromebook 3. I just use it to write books and to watch youtube, does anyone think I should upgrade to a higher MacBook? (my budget is $1500 nzd).

    After deciding and think about it, I bought AppleCare+ for my MBP 14"

    I recently bought MBP 14" and was undecided if AC+ was worth it, after researching many internet pages and YT videos one thing was clear, if your MacBook costs ~$1000 is not worth it, if your MacBook costs ~$2000 is totally worth it. Previously I had MBP 13" (Early 2015) and never needed any...

    I sold my M1 MBA to buy an M2 MBA because I wanted one.

    I don't have any practical reason for doing so - my M1 was perfectly fine. I sold my M1 MBA, just ordered an M2 MBA, and I feel like a kid at Christmas. Tech is a hobby of mine. I like the latest and greatest gadgets, and don't mind spending money on them. It's certainly not from any kind of...

    Extending AppleCare+ coverage

    Hello all, the AppleCare+ coverage on my 2017 12” MacBook expires next year, but I’ve been reading that it is possible to extend it on a monthly basis beyond the 3 year term. Is this option available for the 12” MacBook? Has anyone had any experience with this extension? Extend AppleCare coverage

    I’m a computer science major who will have big coding assignments but nothing crazy. I don’t do a lot of high end editing on a regular basis. My only professional use would be these coding projects, other than that, maybe a light gaming(not a big gamer at all), Netflix and everyday things on...
