    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 was WRONG! It’s notch so bad after all…..

    After purchasing my Macbook pro I was scared of 2 things. Have I ordered the right colour? ( silver vs space grey) and I chose silver…..and that damn notch! Now watching YouTube videos of probably every Macbook released the last few years or so to influence my decision I noticed a lot of...

    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

    Mac full despite optimizing storage!

    I have 2Tb of iCloud storage. On my MacBook I have 500GB. I keep getting "Mac storage is full" messages which keeps me from getting any work done. With Optimize Mac Storage on, shouldn't Mac automatically "throttle" what's on my MacBook so I can keep using it? In System Prefs, it shows...

    Should I buy the 512 gb or 16 gb of ram for the new M2 MacBook Air? I can only afford one

    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...

    Hello, I received my MBP 16" M1 Pro in December. I also have another one with the exact same specs from work. Both of them have the same frustrating problem.

    New M2 MBA is a missed opportunity.

    In my opinion, Apple's design decisions with the new MBA are a missed opportunity. Instead, they should have released TWO devices to better differentiate their product line while covering more ground - as is, too many people of too many different stripes will be underserved, and Apple's product...
