    Does intel MacBook get hot with my kind of usage? especially long hour video calls?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 09:39 PM PDT

    I recently upgraded to a m1 mba from a surface go 1st gen (which was fkin depressing) and I must say the performance is way outta my league, at least for the kind of task that I do which is usually web browsing, Microsoft office stuff and the most heavy thing is prolly long hour of video calls. I guess that was huge problem with my surface go, as it would get hot to touch at some point when doing long hour video calls and sometimes even YouTube lol. And so ever since I switched to the m1 mba, I never ever had to worry about any of that, its like its kinda too good for any of that thermal issues even in long hour video calls or to get sluggish at any task

    But I'm just wondering for other Macs that aren't m1, is that ever an issue for those intel Macs? like thermal issues during video calls or getting slow during it. Or is MacBook generally was already way beyond those issues even before the m1? cuz the m1 is my first Mac ever so just wondering if those older Macs were not too bad either for my kind of daily use

    MacBook Air Ram issues. Options?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 09:00 PM PDT

    I have a 2013 MacBook Air. 8gb of ram. Great daily driver I use it mostly for email and web browsing. I purchased it used 4 years ago for $500 CAD which was a great deal. Recently the ram has failed and the computer won't boot. Apple wants $700 for a new logic board and it doesn't seem worth it to put that money into a computer of this age. I found a guy on Craigslist who will install the same logic board for $275 but it's used and I may run into similar issues with that. Is it possible to find a place that will solder new ram? Should I just sell the computer on Craigslist for parts and move on? Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Is a 2012 MacBook Air reliable in 2021?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 08:14 PM PDT

    Been looking on macofalltrades for a cheap laptop. I found a 2012 for a good price, but they do have a couple that I can barely afford that are 2013 and 2014. Is a 2013/14 that much better? I plan on using it to build and manage a website on Wordpress and surf the web.

    How is the M1 Macbook Pro's battery faring long term?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 03:34 PM PDT

    Hi, I recently bought an M1 MacBook Pro and so far, the battery life has been amazing. It got me curious, though, because most laptops have their battery significantly wear down in the next year or two.

    For those who have had their m1 mbp for over 6 months to a year, how's the battery faring? Is the m1 chip sustaining the battery's health? Are there drastic differences for the worse? I'm curious!

    Grandma's React to Apple’s New MacBook Air M1

    Posted: 04 May 2021 04:14 AM PDT

    M1 Macbook Pro (8/256) or 2020 Macbook Pro (16/512)?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 09:25 AM PDT

    I'm in the market to replace my 2018 Macbook Air and have decided to go with the MacBook Pro to change up the form factor a bit. I am only able to purchase through Amazon (collection of gift cards) so a trade in with Apple is not feasible. Currently the M1 MacBook Pro (8gb/256gb) is priced at $1,149. Amazon Renewed is offering the 2020 MacBook Pro (16gb/512gb) for $1,144. The 2020 MacBook Pro appears to be a great deal AND I currently use a dual external monitor setup in my office, which the M1 could not replicate.

    On the other side of the coin is the M1 processor, much longer battery life and supposedly better microphone. I'm not sure if the Wifi 6 capability is necessary at this point.

    Which would you guys choose?

    I want to sell my 2019 MBP (APPLE MBP16 L19 I9/16/1TB SG). Where is the best place to sell it?

    Macbook Pro, 13-Inch Early 2015 has more high end on left audio channel

    Posted: 04 May 2021 04:44 PM PDT

    I'm using Ableton live to create music, and I've noticed that when I'm using headphones, the left side produces more high end than the right, no matter what pair of headphones I'm using. At first I thought it was a problem with my own hearing, but after getting my ears checked it seems like it might be a problem with the headphone jack.

    In the sake of transparency, I have dropped my macbook more times than I would like to admit. Is there a fix for this, or does this come with having this model for a while?

    2016 MBP discharging while plugged in and not in use (shell closed)

    Posted: 04 May 2021 02:18 PM PDT

    2016 MBP discharging while plugged in and not in use (shell closed)

    I've been noticing weird battery behavior the last month or two. I'll plug in my MBP, but it won't start charging immediately, instead indicating that it's plugged in, and only starts charging a minute later. And lately, it's been randomly running down the battery while plugged in and not in use. Here's a screen shot I just took showing my battery level over the last 24 hours with my screen usage. Battery goes down despite computer not being used, while plugged in.

    Any ideas? My guess is... overall poor 1st gen design and time to get an M1. Or an M2 if they're coming this year.

    I need help this message keeps popping up and preventing me from downloading boot camp what can I do

    What are some reasons my MBP 2017 Logic Board died suddenly?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 12:01 PM PDT

    Some history...

    Dec 2017: Purchased w/ Apple Protection Plan

    Aug 2018: Sent for repair due to keyboard issues, got back my Mac w/ a new top case

    Sep 2020: Sent for repair due to badly swollen battery, they discovered water damaged logic board somehow, paid for new logic board even though still in warranty

    April 2021: (out of warranty) Macbook died suddenly. Cannot turn on. Apple says problem with logic board. New logic boards w/ repair cost would be $1000 where I'm from. No thanks. (Ordered a new M1 MBP w/ AppleCare+ instead)

    How I use my Mac..

    Port 1 24/7 connected to external monitor, it charges my Mac at 60W rate

    Port 2 24/7 connected to external HDD, Time Machine auto-backup every few hours

    Port 3 24/7 connected to another external HDD for storage purposes

    Port 4 24/7 connected to Lightning connector, but mostly unused

    Charge Limiter app 24/7 turned on to keep my Macbook at 57% everyday (I thought it was a great idea to keep both my cycle count low and never stress at higher levels but idk)

    Macs Fan Control to keep my fans running at 5700RPM 24/7 to ensure my Mac doesn't get so hot

    Shut down every night (I know now it's not recommended)

    Screen always on 24/7 with Amphetamine app, occasionally I will let my Mac go to sleep

    7 spaces (different screens) with multiple apps opened daily including Finder, Spotify, Things, Firefox w/ 20+ tabs usually, Google Chrome w/ 6 tabs usually, Apple Notes, OneNote, Discord, Adobe Acrobat, Calendar 366, BetterTouchTool, FastStone Image Viewer, iMazing

    Can you guys help identify in my daily life with my Mac, what could have contributed to a suddenly dead logic board? Or did they give a flawed logic board that kills itself in 7 months? Either way, I want to be careful with my new Mac and not face the same issue.

    TIA!

    11.3 horribly buggy?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 02:30 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    I'm just putting this out here in the hope that perhaps more people experience this and it's just a glitchy update. My M1 MBA has been horribly glitchy since the 11.3 MacOS update. It used to be lightning fast and never really freezing, suddenly some tabs open make it slower and drop FPS. Bluetooth hampers occasionally, and my battery drains way faster. Whereas I used to be able to easily work 12 hours, now it's 8 at best. What's happening? Anyone else experiencing this?

    Macbook presentation while drawing on ipad

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:26 AM PDT

    Hi, I am using a macbook pro for a powerpoint presentation and I have an ipad with apple pencil that I would like to use as "touchscreen" to draw while i present.

    Does anyone know good alternatives to powerpoint that would allow me to draw with the apple pencil while presenting on my ipad in screensharing mode?

    I found powerpoint extremely inconvenient to use with the pencil, as its difficult to cancel any drawings and accessing the pen tool is quite inconvenient too

    Brand new M1 MacBook Pro doesn't start up immediately after opening the lid.

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:22 AM PDT

    Anyone experience the same problem with my brand new m1 MacBook Pro? After I unbox it and open the lid there is no power and no Mac startup sound. I need to charge it for a good 5 mins before it powers up and proceed to the set up process.

    Trying to include combine bootcamp and parallels on my macbook pro 2012.

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:20 AM PDT

    So I had given my MBP to my friend to install Bootcamp. He installed it and then added Tuxera for readability as bootcamp was not getting installed properly.
    He also installed parallels 13. I have been trying to connect Parallels and bootcamp together but to no avail. Parallels is unable to detect my bootcamp partition. I have checked multiple forums etc.

    Using MBP Mid 2012 June, With Mojave, and SSD and 10 GB Ram.

    Can someone please assist me or guide me in the correct direction?

    Zoom destroys old macbook graphics card

    Posted: 04 May 2021 08:07 AM PDT

    Because the uni I go to and the school I teach at are digital this year, my old Macbook Pro has been getting a lot of use ( also with Netflix). It just collapsed and stopped rebooting in the middle of a Zoom meeting. Now I only have access online with the school-issued ipad ( which I can't use for Uni). I just called the repair shop, and he said that the older macs can't handle Zoom, that the graphics cards get fried. Now I may have to wait 2 weeks for the macbook to get repaired.... or replace it. Anyone else have this problem?

    Is premiere good on the new MacBook

    Posted: 04 May 2021 06:25 AM PDT

    I'm looking at buying the new MacBook Air/pro. I'm a student who would need the Adobe suite to run smoothly on the computer and especially premiere. When I mean smooth I mean no lag in the playback feature and a smooth feel when using adobe thanks for the help
