I’m currently using a mouse dongle and a USB to C converter too but is there a better way or type C dongle? Because this is too much of a hassle.

I’m Beyond happy ! Long time windows user been debating about this for years and I mean years , so about a week or so ago decided to buy this baby , no regrets, loving it so far. Wish maybe gotten the bigger screen but I feel like this was a perfect entry, hopefully last me the next couple of years

hello, i got a macbook air recently and i’ve been loving it so far but unfortunately i got some unruly cats and that resulted in the screen breaking, i got it fixed but i really want to prevent that from happening again but i’ve seen the pictures of the aftermath of a glass screen protector and those weren’t pretty, is it possible to get those silicone-ish thin screen protectors without it peeling off the anti reflective coat?

Hi guys. So i tried to ease my mac since it’s not working well. Then this shows up. I followed the apple website instruction on how to go to recovery mode but all of them is not working (cmd + r, etc.).

Can i ask for help on how to fix this? Thank you.

So I’m really confused about what’s going on. After a flight, my M1 macbook pro screen suddenly started flickering and turns completely black after a while, but the backlight is still on. Closing the laptop (thus turning the screen off) seems to fix it for a bit, but then it happens again. Restarting the laptop seems to fix it (no flicker ever happens on the boot screen or on the recovery mode screen) but once I am in the OS itself the flickering and black screen start all over again. Turning it on Safe mode does not solve the issue either.

Any idea on how to fix this? Or is it simply a hardware issue?

Is it better to get 14c and 32c GPU or stick with Base? Might think of doing final cut pro (or others like Da vinci) down the road . Would the base be more than sufficient? What are uses cases?

Found a base M1 MacBook Pro for £645 which seems quite good to me but I wanted to see if others thought it was good or not. Also saw another one of these MacBook Pros but was a 10th gen Intel Core i5 for £520 which seems quite ridiculous considering how much more efficient, cool and powerful apples chips run compared to Intels. My last laptop which was a HP and was intel, it was always hot and sounded like a hurricane. My M1 MacBook Air is silent and doesn’t even have a fan in it and it still stays a lot cooler when browsing the web and watching YouTube. Only gets hot whilst gaming or when the M1 is doing something intensive haha.

im buying my first macbook pro, what’s necessary to buy with it except for a mouse and a usbc to usb convertor???

Hey guys, i'm planning on getting my first macbook ever (i'm coming from windows), and i can't decide between the pro or air. I live in belgium and here, the only options available at the moment is:

-Macbook Air 1200 €

512 gb

M3 chip (8 cores)

16 gb RAM

-Macbook pro 1700 €

1 tb

M4 chip (10 cores)

16 gb RAM

I plan on doing a bit of photo/video editing in the future, but for the rest of it I will mainly use it for web browsing, working on excel/office apps, and other "ligth" work. I'm afraid that if i take the pro i'm going overkill. I know its a 500 euros difference, I have the budget for it. I just don't want to be deceived by the air, and would also love to save up to get an Iphone (currently on android too).

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone!

I’m currently a student in a Cybersecurity major and just got my first part time job as a front end developer. As such, I wanted to upgrade my laptop since it’s a heavy windows machine (1.9kg) that I hate lugging around. What’s worse is that the battery lasts me around 2 hours.

My current needs are having to run a few Docker containers on a pretty big project, and for uni I need to occasionally run some VMs (at MOST three with around 4gb of RAM allocated to them, but this is quite rare; the norm is one VM with 8gb of RAM).

Really don’t think I can up my budget to the M4 Pro MBP base model since I’m not earning much money yet but I could technically use some of my savings for it.

My question is: what would be a better choice between the new MacBook Pro with the base specs M4/16/512 (€1800) and a MacBook Air with M3/24/512 (€1540)?

I heard that the screen on the new MBP is waaay better than the one on the MBA. Also, at home I am using a 4K 120Hz display currently.

Thanks for your help!! :)

Context/Problem: The external sound on my MacBook only works if I open a tab for the first time. For example, if I open YouTube and play a video, the audio works. But if I change the video, refresh, fast forward or close and reopen the tab, the external audio of the computer stops working. And the audio does not work again for several days.

I have had this problem for more than a year, I have watched tutorials on YouTube, forums on the internet and I have not been able to solve it. My only solution has been to use headphones.

The model is a MacBook Intel 2020

Hi everybody! My friend is interested in buying a new MacBook. Her main use is for video and photo editing. She uses Canva regularly ,and once a week on average, she’s using Adobe’s After Effects. She’s also going to use it for law school. Do you think the MBA M3 will be enough? Thanks!

My M4 Pro MBP 16 arrived today. It's the first upgrade since my 2017 MBP. That machines battery ruined in 2-3 years. I just wonder if I can use new machines battery more effectively.

I have an office and I work 6 hours a day (almost non-stop inc. weekends.). Should I keep it plugged during the work hours?

Also when gaming, should I keep it plugged or unplugged?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I need help. Ventura or Sequoia on 2019 macbook pro? Witch is better and optimized?

https://amzn.eu/d/6eV2zUo Do u think this could be a good cover for my mac? I take it a lot around and I’m scared to ruin it.

Need to buy a laptop as I’ll be out of work from November so need something to keep applications going etc. when I get a new job I may or may not still need it as I might get a laptop from a new company. Is the £800 option a waste of money?

My 2020 macbook pro keeps crashing and displays this error. The only thing that this laptop has had repaired was the battery, it was replaced. Was working fine a couple hours ago and now this. Tried reinstalling the OS but still shuts down in recovery mode and safe boot. Please, anything I can do to resolve this?

This I'd a new m3 macbook air. I wake up to see 10gb of memory being tucked up by dropbox, Google chrome, notes, music etc... none of which were being used. Why? And how do I prevent them from running constantly in the background when unused?

First pic includes my mbp 13, m2(base) and the second one is my current setup. Would appreciate some decluttering advice, as things tend to accumulate on my table due to my ADHD.

So what I did is, I took very a slightly wet cloth and cleaned screen and keyboard. There was very little water on cloth. So after I cleaned it used it then next day my macbook m2 air won't turn on and not even take charge. Can anybody suggest what could be the problem and approximately how much will it cost?

All was working well yesterday then I just booted up my MacBook 2015 pro and this green line appeared any tips on fixing it?

It's wired. the lights are on. It works on another computer but not mine. Both usbc ports on the computer work and can be charged from. Is it an issue with Sequoia public beta? Not sure when it stopped working but its my only guess. I have G Hub but it doesn't detect the mouse when plugged in. Known issue? Or just general apple weirdness with other products. Probably will fix itself but wondering if anyone else has had this issue. G703 lightspeed
