    Choosing MacBook Pro

    I'm gonna buy MacBook Pro but should I wait? MacBook Pro M1 16GB 512GB seems great for me. I'm a high school 12th class student and interested in software development. I believe this MacBook can go 4-year or above life. So, is there an alternative to this MacBook? or should I buy this?

    Mid 2015 MacBook Air shuts down immediately after being unplugged. Tried replacing battery, and computer recognizes battery health as normal. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Do MacBooks have ‘moisture detectors’ in the charging port like iPhones do?

    If the charging cable is a bit wet or if the charging port on the iPhone is a bit wet, iPhones tell you to remove it and plug it later. Does this happen with the MacBooks too? This is a very good integration that I appreciate it, because with these charging ports/cables sometimes they can get...
