    Mac Pro 2013 Owner - Upgrade to MacBook Air M1 16GB worth it?

    Hi all, My work on Mac OS is mainly with Logic Pro X and non-Apple plugins and VSTs. I'm currently running a Mac Pro 2013 (8-core/64GB Ram/2TB NVMe) and I know it's certainly overkill for the type of music I mainly work on (Hard Rock / Alt Metal / Acoustic). I also own a MacBook Pro 13" from...

    How long did it take for optimised battery charging to activate?

    From what I've read it's taken up to a few weeks for the OS to learn one's charging routines and limit the battery to 80% whilst charging. Am curious as to how long it took your M1 to start that behaviour, and what your charging patterns were like.

    If you're like me and still holding on to a Unibody MacBook from 2010 - 2012, you'll have noticed that the wireless connectivity can be lacking on these models! While this guide won't cover Macbooks made in 2009 and prior (at least not yet), I will be focussing on Macbooks made from 2010...
