    First MacBook purchase since 2014

    Today I bought the MacBook Air 13" 8GB M1 (Base Model) with the education discount, and I can't begin to explain how excited I am. I have been using a MacBook Air I've had since 2014. I am absolutely blown away with the new M1 processor and I find it to be such a game changer for Apple. Can't think of a better time to make the upgrade, I'm sure this one's gonna last at least 5 years for me as well.

    What's your long-term review of software development on the MacBook Air/Pro M1?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:36 PM PDT

    Hello everyone, I'll be starting my master's this Fall and have decided to make a switch from Windows (I don't think I need to give reasons for this lmao). I was wondering if I should go with the Air or the Pro (13). Couldn't really find along term review for software devs on M1.

    I generally use NodeJs, React, Android, been experimenting with Flutter and am planning to get started with Swift soon. Not much into AI/ML for now, but I've used Colab in the past of all my projects.

    Here are a couple of questions that I have for anyone who has had experience with it:

    1. Is 8GB RAM enough?
    2. Does the lack of a fan on the Air necessarily makes thing difficult? (a 10s difference is too much of a first-world problem for me, not an issue per se)
    3. I know Rosetta takes care of a lot of compatibility issues, but have there been any major issues with sw like VSC, Docker, etc. ? (I did read about them being launched natively)

    Appreciate any inputs, thank you!

    Used vs New, help me decide.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:58 PM PDT

    Need to decide which MacBook is better, a used 2019 15 inch (upgraded) or a new 2020 16 inch base model.

    2020 16 inch base model:

    2.6GHz 6-core 9th-generation Intel Core i7 processor

    512 GB SSD

    AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4GB

    16GB RAM

    Used 2019 15 inch upgraded:

    2.3GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor

    Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 4GB of HBM2 memory

    16GB 2400MHz DDR4 memory

    1 TB SSD Hard Drive

    Apple care included

    I would be saving 500$ buying the used Mac Book.

    Thank you in advance!

    Switching between Mac and Windows Software

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:54 PM PDT

    Hey, I am a first year student and I am right now buying a laptop. I really want to get a Mac because I love it a lot. The only problem is that some of my courses may require certain applications that can only be downloaded using windows.

    I know I can download windows on the Mac but I prefer the Mac software. So I was wondering if anyone if it is easy to constantly switch between the two softwares?

    3rd party charger - Macbook Air 2020 M1

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:19 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Can someone recommend any 3rd party charger for Macbook Air 2020? My friend got one but without a charger. Is there any specific brand that would work without a problem with 2020 Air ? I was thinking about getting a charger from IKEA but not quite sure if it's compatible - any ideas?

    Thanks!

    My M1 Air keeps dimming the brightness to half automatically... even after I have disabled automatic brightness. What's going on?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:43 AM PDT

    I'm not sure if much information is needed than this. I have no tape on the webcam and the settings show that brightness is manually controlled. It resets after a couple minutes and also when the display turns back on.

    Weird thing with my M1 MacBook Air

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:13 PM PDT

    When I first got my macbook, if it had a stable surface, I could just put my finger into the gap in the bottom (in the middle of the bottom half of the closed MacBook) and open it up. The screen broke, and I sent it to get repaired. Now I have to put a fingernail between the two halves and then I can get it open. I cant just lift it up like I could before. I gave it a few months to see if it would go away, but it hasn't. Does anyone know what caused this and if I can fix it?

    Macbook or Windows?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:52 PM PDT

    Hey everyone, just had a quick question. Was wondering - those who have owned both a Windows computer and a Macbook, which did you prefer? What sets apart the latter, whether it be for the better or the worse? Thanks?

    Need A USB Port Hub For My MacBook Air M1

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:40 PM PDT

    So I just picked this new m1 air and I need a hub for it. I'm only concerned about if it'll mess up the laptop as some of the hubs earlier this year were frying MacBooks, but I did hear they patched it. I just need a hub to plug in my midi keyboard, recording interface, and sampler. If anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

    Mid 2012 Macbook Pro is double typing letters when I type on the keyboard

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:17 PM PDT

    when I type on the built in keyboard, the lower line of letters "Z through M" will also select the number above that letter.

    Z1 X2 C3 V4 B5 and so on and vice versa.

    Any tips on resolving this issue?

    AirPods volume problem in MacBook Air

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:07 AM PDT

    I have the latest MacBook Air and I have been facing issues with the AirPods for few weeks. The volume on my left buds is much lower than the one on right. The problem only exists for MacBook. When I connect my phone there is no issue and both the buds have the same sound quality. Has anyone else faced this issue? and is there any solution for this?

    The MacBook Pro Mid 2012 is still awesome in 2021! (positive rant/easy minor issues)

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:23 AM PDT

    I've had my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 running High Sierra as my daily since 2017 when it was passed down to me, and I have to say, for its age, it's still an amazing computer in 2021. I mainly use it to listen to music on Spotify, streaming videos, typing up all my documents, photo/video editing, and making music on GarageBand. The only upgrade I've done on it so far is installing 16gb of DDR3 ram in place of the original 4gb. I was running an SSD (Samsung EVO 860 500gb) for 6 months, but I had to go back to using the stock hard drive since I kept getting the spinning rainbow beach ball. I'm more than sure it's caused by a worn out SATA cable as I've read many people had that issue. I am thinking of replacing the SATA cable and installing a 1TB SSD. One more thing is I really need to re-do the thermal paste since it was probably never changed since 2012 😅. Overall, I don't think I'll be needing a new laptop anytime soon at all. Did I also mention the trackpad and keyboard are AMAZING? Yeah, the mid 2012 MacBook Pro is definitely one of Apple's greatest MacBooks.

    Early 2015 MBA Black Screen

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:34 PM PDT

    As the title says I am experiencing a black screen. I started it up this afternoon and it got halfway through the start up chime and then the whole screen went black. I used it just this morning and it had a almost full battery. I put it on the charger anyways and there's still nothing. I've tried various button sequences and nothing works. Am I screwed? Any possible solutions to this/do I take it in to get diagnosed or am I looking at having to buy a new computer?

    BigSur no Internet access with (company) VPN but intranet/ Remote Desktop working

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:10 PM PDT

    Hy!

    FIRST: Our company VPN settings allow us to use the home network. We have 40 windows laptops and everybody can use the Internet on VPN without using a remote desktop or any company intranet stuff. We have 4 MacBooks, (not BigSur) and they can use the internet on VPN.

    Our company bought a new MacBook air (M1), and It has BigSur. Only this machine can't use the internet with VPN only intranet (remote desktop, file server, compony stuff).

    What is the "special" settings we need to check for internet access during VPN?

    Thanks, for help!

    sony bluetooth speaker connected to M1 MBA always malfunctions when waking up from sleep, and does not work when connected via the aux

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:23 AM PDT

    I just got a new SRS-XB22 sony speaker and I tried connecting it to my monitor via an aux cord and it couldn't play any sound, and then I tried the same with my M1 Macbook Air and it either didn't produce any sound or only produced a low quality sound.

    It seems to only work well when I play it via bluetooth, but even with that there are several issues with it like malfunctioning when it wakes up from sleep. I always have to turn off and turn on the bluetooth again to make it work. How can I make it less of a hassle? Any help would be appreciated!

    Hey

    Just got a Macbook M1. Realised my Logitech g603 wont connect. I googled it and lots of people shared the problem. I saw Apple saying in January they would fix this, but it still hasen't been fixed right?

    Any ways to fix it?

    Feels like Apple are trying to make you buy their 70 dollar mouse....

    M1 Air Netflix error S7361-1253

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 07:55 AM PDT

    Whenever i tried to watch some proper series on Safari netflix.com, the screen just loads for seconds, then freezes and gets the error code S7361-1253. For every time i watch that series. I searched on the internet and guessed that it has to get resetting the PRAM and i even almost did that until i found the article that M1 doesn't support that kind of reseting and i just fixes itself whenever it detects some errors in RAM as it said. So i even installed my Big Sur to the latest version, emptied the safari caches and thought it'd get fixed but after all done THAT one proper series is still getting the error code. I don't know how to do with it anymore. I still haven't tried on Chrome and Safari yet but even if i got it right, i'll still choose Safari for streaming so. Any tips, guys?
