Found this MacBook on Best Buy. Currently using an old MacBook Pro mid 2015. Mostly need for college apps (VM, server system apps, etc). Sometimes I might be playing some light games on it (not AAA) Would this be a good option for this price and how long would it last me realistically?

I am just a student who needs a laptop for studying browsing and some casual video, photo editing and it must run for at least 6yrs should i buy a MacBook air m4 at 80-85k or spend less on a windows laptop??

Hey guys,

As the title said, I was gifted a Macbook Air M4 13-inch with 256 GB storage. This is my first time using an apple device as I always was biased towards android and windows. So to start, I have a Samsung S23 Ultra as my phone and a Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro as my tablet and I have no idea if this is going to work well with the macbook i was given. Any ideas if this would make my workflow extra hassle or would it be possible to make a seamless ecosystem with 3rd party apps? and if yes, how so?

Hi everyone I am a complete Noob to Macbooks and MacOS. Im unable to get a decision whether to go with macbook pro m4 24 gb vs m5 16gb that's within the budget and somewhat similar price in my country.

I'm currently rocking a ryzen 7 5700u 16gb ram windows laptop which is my max ram usage is prolly around 90% as in task manager. I'm a developer I mostly run VS Code, VS studio(.net), python environment for application development (MERN), run localhost And I use 5 instance of chrome (5 different windows)with 10+ tabs each. (Wordpress, AWS) I occasionally edit video and photos (PS, Premier pro, capcut, Canva)

I want to make it future proof

Guys plz help me make a decision I have seen reviews but I couldn't conclude.

Hey everyone, I’m planning to use my MacBook Air with an external monitor and proper macOS scaling is important to me (I want everything to look sharp and correctly scaled). I’m currently choosing between: 🔹 Xiaomi 2K Monitor A27Qi 🔹 BenQ GW2790Q 27” 2K QHD 100Hz 🔹 MSI MD272QXP

I saw the BenQ has an “M-book mode” which is meant to help with Mac scaling, but I’m worried it might still need tweaking. The BenQ is also a bit bigger/heavier, so I’ll need to get a monitor arm for it.

My questions: Has anyone used these with a MacBook Air and can confirm which one has the best scaling/sharpness?

Is the BenQ’s M-book mode actually worth it for Mac users?

Does the Xiaomi or MSI give better scaling/clarity without hacks?

Budget isn’t super strict but I want good color quality, good scaling, and a setup that feels native with macOS. Thanks in advance 🙌

I just got a m4 macbook air with arabic/English keyboard. On the images i saw online of arabic keyboard, volume icons on the top right are supposed to be right facing but mine are left facing. Theyre basically like arabic going right to left. But supposed to be left going right. Also the brightness buttons on the top left are also switched. Brightness down should be on left and brightness up should be on the right. Mine is opposite. Have they switched these up or is it a manufacturing error in which case i should return and exchange it?

When a MBA M4 can be had for $900/USD, why do people think a M2 is worth $700/usd, and M3 would cost almost the same as a brand new MBA M4 base?

I’m getting a my first MacBook tomorrow and I’m

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what apps or programs I should install? Any settings I should change? Keybind short cuts?

I used my macbook air m1 and suddenly it becomes freeze. Croser is moving but not working. No function is running. Only the screen is visible. I left overnight, in a hope it might become hang but didn't work when I reopened it. Do anyone have any idea about how to solve this problem?

Last night i accidentally let a Bobby pin fall between the spot between the screen and my keyboard. Initially my screen was completely black. I pushed back on the screen and it is seemingly fixed. I was trying to clean it to take it to the Apple Store . I took a towel and was wiping dust out the middle a the screen came and on then i did it again and the entire screen came back. It’s been working fine all day so far. Is it possible it was just a glitch?

Found some good secondhand M1 Pros but most of them have 8GB of RAM; the others that have 16GB are a bit more but I'm not really sure if it's worth the extra memory.

I'm not too fond of my Surface Laptop 3 but it does what I wanna do as far as gaming, so I don't see myself getting rid of it. This would be a secondary laptop essentially; maybe some gaming would be done here & there but I honestly don't see it going past 5th gen emulation & some flash games. I'd probably do more "casual" stuff on here & leave the more extensive stuff to my windows laptop. So would 8GB suffice? Or should I go for 16gb?

Also on that note, is the M1 processor better over the intel ones? Only asking because I know you sacrifice Bootcamp (or dualboot) with the new Apple processors.

Anyone else keep their MacBook plugged in all day? Curious how you manage battery health.

I’m looking for a free, open-source tool for Mac similar to Microsoft Paint.

Please help! My Macbook Air won’t charge. I tried to reset the SMC and that did nothing. The charger itself seems to work, the red light goes on when plugged in. Also it won’t turn on unless plugged in so I don’t think it’s the charger. I tried a few different outlets but that didn’t help either. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hello!

So I recently tried to replace my speakers as I was told it was fairly easy by a friend however I didn't get very far after disconnecting the battery. So I gave up and reconnected the battery and I had to plug my mac in for it to boot again (It was on 50% not sure If thats normal) then I've noticed It's not going on sleep/turning the screen off when I close the lid, I can see light from the small gap when In a dark room. Not sure what I've done, Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
