    Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for college?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 01:28 PM PDT

    I'm a poly sci/econ major so I won't need very heavy software. I will be doing a lot of reading, writing essays, taking notes, and online calling/conferencing on my laptop. I currently have a MacBook pro from 2015 but am looking to upgrade. Cost is not a huge issue, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    In addition, would it be better to get the 8GB memory Pro or 16GB memory Air? (since they are the same price) I am planning to use my laptop all four years of college. Thank you!!

    Why Advertise Seamless transitions between iphone and Mac with AirPods if it doesn't?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:38 PM PDT

    title, but I've recently noticed that if I connect my AirPods to my Mac first, then auto transfer to phone, it gets stuck on my phone (even if im not using it) and I have to disconnect and reconnect.

    this obviously wouldn't normally be an issue, but its an advertised feature... so??

    am I missing something or is this a common bug

    Another Bluetooth issue thread (intermittent disconnection, everything used to work well)

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:28 PM PDT

    My MBA M1 USED TO work fine with having a Magic Trackpad, my HHKB Pro BT, and my Aftershokz Air connected at the same time. Now, if the Aftershokz is connected and is playing audio, it would get choppy, along with input from both the Trackpad and the HHKB (choppy movement, dropped keys, delayed response, etc). No updates were applied, no other settings configured.

    Has anyone else experienced this? A setup that USED TO work fine until suddenly it doesnt without any changes to the system? Or am I doomed to play through my Macbook's speakers :( I've tried all solutions on the internet at this point and I'd like to know if I'm not alone in this

    Do you have any recommendations?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 11:43 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I am here again, today with a different question.

    The thing is I am a writer, and since I am now having a lot of projects going on at the same time, plus a lot of huge life events, I need some place where I could write all the things related to my writing down - so it is organised and easy to navigate through. Is there some app which would allow me to manage all the different projects in this way? I was using Apple Notes until now but it has become not good enough for my work. Do you know of any app which would be good for a project management on large scale? Thank you very much.

    2021 XPS 13 vs 2020 MacBook Pro

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 12:50 PM PDT

    The XPS is more powerful (i7 11th gen vs i5 10th gen) and cheaper ($1900 CAD with discounts and tax vs $2300) but the huge number of quality control issues make me afraid to get it.

    Confused in M1 vs (rumoured) M1X and where it fits

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 06:36 PM PDT

    I'm trying to figure out if the rumoured new MacBook Pros are going to replace the current M1 lineup or if they would be in addition to them.
    If the new MacBooks would replace these ones then I would expect the price to stay relatively the same but if they were "in addition too" then of course the price would be way above the current models.

    Screen brightness, possible bug?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:08 AM PDT

    I just got my first ever MacBook (air M1, and I absolutely love it btw) But I've noticed that when I wake it from sleep my opening it the screen is, 8 times out of 10, on the lowest brightness setting, even though I had it on max brightness when I closed it. I can't turn the brightness up because it thinks it's already on max brightness, so only way I've figured out how to fix it is to turn brightness down 1 step then back up. Is this a common issue, or a setting that I can turn off or something?

    DBrand-like skins for older Macbook pro

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 01:04 PM PDT

    Hello there. Can anyone recommend a reliable store with decent vinyl skins for older Macbooks? I have a good, old Macbook Pro 2012 15-inch non-retina, that could use a little bit of flair and protection at the same time ;)

    Edit: if there was an option to make a skin for a non-unibody Macbook Pro from 2008 then even better.

    My Mac is so nice and quiet, should I buy a proper dock and a usb switch, displayport switch so I can use both my Gaming PC and my Macbook Air M1 on the same setup?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 09:40 AM PDT

    I have a 4K screen and the dock I have is 30hz which is laggy. I have a Bluetooth Mouse and a USB dongle mouse but I'm considering buying a displayport dock and a displayport switch (my screen has 2 hdmi 4k30hz and 1dp port 4k60hz)

    Or maybe I could just buy the dock, the dp switch and then another mouse and keyboard for the mac?

    With this great device that is so quiet is my Windows Gaming PC really necessary for light browsing and netflix when I have this no noise fantastic device?

    Does any people here do something like this? What works best?

    One key isn't working on my Macbook Air

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:55 AM PDT

    So I opened my laptop this morning as per usual and the "O" key isn't responding at all (I'm typing this from my phone). No sort of damage has been done. This actually happened one other time about 2 years ago where one key stopped working... again no damage done, just happened randomly. I brought it to the Apple store and my entire keyboard had to be replaced (it cost in total $433).

    I don't want to have to go through replacing my keyboard again and I'm a bit frustrated and dumbfounded as to why this is happening again. My Macbook is a fully functional early 2014 model that I have to likely replace because of one stupid key that doesn't work.

    Is there any solution around this or any way to fix this without going to Apple or getting a brand new laptop? Thanks.

    Buy Refurb M1 Air for $749 now or wait for M1X

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:22 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    So I'm interested in getting a MacBook Air or Pro (m1) and saw yesterday that with my discount I'm able to get a refurb M1 Air for $749.

    I'm planning on starting up school for an IT degree and will otherwise use it for email browsing and maybe some light gaming.

    Should I pull the trigger on that deal or wait it out? I can afford to wait but I thought I'd ask other people for their thoughts. Thank you all!

    Are the M1 Macs still suffers from SSD wear issues?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 02:24 AM PDT

    I am looking for a new MacBook and getting a pretty good deal of free AirPods. But from the past few months, I saw Reddit filled with posts regarding massive SSD writes (more than 50 times than intel ones). So, can anyone with BASE MBA confirm the SSD status in their macbooks? I just don't want it to be a brick in a couple of years. Thank you!

    Trackpad not working on Macbook Air M1 (newly bought this year)

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:08 AM PDT

    See below for the problem. Cursor works fine when using external mouse, but stutters so hard when using the trackpad. Any known fixes? I made the same movements using trackpad and mouse; using mouse everything was smooth while using trackpad the cursor jumped around and was stuttering.

    Question about RAM upgrade

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 01:05 AM PDT

    My MBP is a 13inch mid 2012 with 2x2GB RAM and 500GB and is running very poor with just a browser and a spreadsheet open, so I'm looking to upgrade the RAM first and saving up for an SSD later.

    My question is the RAM specs -

    • The only easily available sticks so far that I can find is DDR3L where I think mine is just DDR3. Will it break the low voltage sticks with this?

    • My current sticks have a small writing "1Rx16" and the one I'm looking to buy only has "2Rx8" and upon a quick google it's about how the chips are physically positioned with the pcb board. So would that mean the 2Rx8 have the chips at the front and back of the PCB will break when I put them in the slots? The 2 slots were on top of each other so I'm not sure if there is enough space for this kind of sticks to fit in

    Are these non-issues and should just buy them anyway?

    My MacBook Air’s WiFi won’t turn on!

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 03:42 AM PDT

    So this morning I spilled a little bit of coffee on the right side of my laptop and immediately wiped it off and put it upside down so any coffee could get out. There's no apparent damage (every key is working and no damage to the screen). But when I wiped, the MacBook was still on and I pressed a bunch of keys and somehow my WiFi turned off.

    Now if I click on 'turn wi-fi om' it just won't. I can click on it and it turns blue but doesn't turn on.

    I have no idea what to do!

    Please help!

    Account not appearing

    Posted: 29 Jul 2021 03:12 AM PDT

    I was having problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Pro, so I went into recovery mode and cloned the drive. When I boot up from that drive, my main user account does not show up, but the other accounts on the computer do. When I go to the users and groups in system preferences, that account also doesn't show up, but when I look at the folders of user accounts, a folder with that account is there. How can I make the account appear?
