    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009) - Anyone running a similar?

    Anyone running a similar laptop to this? I've maxed the RAM, changed the hard drive and replaced the battery. Still works well but I plug in an external drive every few days to back up. For the most part this laptop works great, but has issues w/ some programs like google sheets and...

    Would I be crazy to trade-in my 10.2" iPad for an 11" MBA?

    I'm a fun-sized university student: a skinny and short twink. As the main computer in my dorm, I use the 13-inch MacBook Air M1, which does everything I need. I seriously love the horsepower this device offers for my writing and content creation needs, but bringing it to university in a...

    15 Macbook Air + New colors?

    I just saw that there is potential for a new 13 inch macbook air, alongside the 15, but the processor will still be the M2 chip. I’m not really sure what new features they would add, and even if they did brobg some new features what would they advertise? I feel like a logical answer may be new...

    Is Apple’s new “Pro = Beefy” design language a mistake?

    After exclusively purchasing MacBook Pros, my next Mac is likely to be a MacBook Air — not because I want an Air, but because the MacBook Pro is too damn bulky. However, this “Pro = Beefy” design language is not relegated to the Apple Silicon MacBook Pros. The issue extends to the M1/M2 iPad...

    Why does the macbook pro 13" m2 even exist?

    When the air costs exactly the same? Wouldn't it have made more sense for apple to release a single macbook laptop with fans in order to clearly seperate the pro 14"+ from the average consumer lines? If there was a macbook 13" with a fan I would buy it in a heartbeat but my only option is an...

    MacBook Air 2015 (13") replacement battery? Anyone done one lately?

    my 2015 Air (13", 8gb, 128Gb) actually sat in a warehouse for three years before I picked it up in Oct 2018 "as new" (the story was they'd been bought by local govt for a project that never happened). I knew it was a risk but actually it's lasted really well into Jan 2023. The battery cycle...

    Are MacBooks with Apple Silicon affected by "flexgate"?

    In Internet there are mixed opinions about whether MacBooks with Apple Silicon chips that have the 2016 MacBook Pro exterior design (MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13" M1/M2) are affected by the fatigue present on the display flex cable due to opening and closing the lid, so I would like to ask...
