    Struggling 2018 mini

    I have a 2018 intel i7 mini running Sonoma 14.4.1 with 32 gigs of ram that I purchased 4 years ago when they had the 2020 refresh. It always ran smoothly enough until a few months ago when it started to struggle with seemingly simple workloads. This has slowed down my productivity significantly...

    Black screen on 15" late 2013 to mid 2014 logic board swap

    Hi! I just replaced my late 2013 15" MBP 2.3GHz logic board to a mid 2014 2.8GHz (661-00680). The replacement board looks mint, like new. The charging light on the cable works, the fans are spinning up, but I'm getting nothing on the screen and no boot up sound. I tried a SMC reset, PRAM...

    MBA 1,1-6,2 Swap Logic Board MacBook Air 13" 2011

    I got a macbook air mid 2011 that's running linux and I love the form factor and everything about it but it only has 4gb of ram and that's a small problem for me these days. I was wondering if I could upgrade the logic board to something with 8gb of ram. If I'm correct I could easily change the...

    Why do Apple Silicon Macs use swap even when there's plenty of RAM available?

    Have a look at this video: He's building an Xcode project which is using almost 16GB of RAM. Despite having 64GB total available, there's still 6.5MB of swap being utilized. I don't experience this at all on my 2019 16" with 64GB RAM (I do, however, experience heat and fan noise ;) )...

    Is it possible to upgrade the logic board of my MBA 13 2014?

    I got a MacBook 13 2014 which is working well as I changed the battery out. Since it is in the A1466 model, is it possible to upgrade it by swapping the dual-core 2014 logic board to a 2017 logic board? Will there be no hardware or software compatibility issues?

    M1 16GB RAM and SWAP Memory Being Used

    I got a refurbished M1 MacBook Air from Apple and went for the 16GB of RAM. I look at the activity monitor and to my surprise 2.40GB SWAP memory is being used. Should I be concerned? I only have 11 safari tabs open. Nothing else really running in the background other than music. Thoughts? Thanks!
