    M1 MacBook Air Base Model: Best Laptop Ever????

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 09:01 PM PDT

    I know there are laptops that can perform better…but they also cost much more. But when you factor in performance, build quality, ease of availability and the price point…is the base model M1 Mac Air the greatest laptop ever made?? Everything I've thrown at it…it handles flawlessly and the battery is 🔥. Is there another laptop in history that stood out like this one?

    M1 MacBook Air - 16GB RAM only to future proof?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 05:30 PM PDT

    Hi 👋

    I sold my 2014 MacBook Pro about a year ago because 128GB internal storage was no longer cutting it for my photos library. I have not replaced it as of yet as I have been provided a pc to work from home, however, I am interested in getting a new Mac.

    I watched every 8GB vs 16GB video on YouTube and read a bunch of posts about the subject and still cannot decide if I should go for the 8GB or 16GB model. There are many contradicting opinions on the subject.

    My only reason for getting 16GB would be to future proof the device and to not worry about the OS slowing down at all. I don't like buying something that expensive knowing it will be outdated soon. I want to have the option of keeping it until Apple no longer supports if I choose to.

    I use my computer to watch 4k content (iTunes, YouTube…), browse the web, work in Word and Excel, manage and edit my pictures and videos taken from my iPhone and DSLR. Nothing too crazy, however, I don't want my computer to lag or slow down.

    I would really like guidance here as even after doing hours and hours of research, I still don't know what to do. I find the price to upgrade the RAM expensive and don't want to waste money if I truly don't need it. This would also mean that I would lose even more money if the m2 is so amazing that it makes me sell this model to get it in a year or two.

    Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Al Dente settings

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 08:48 PM PDT

    Hi guys, just installed Al Dente and I am wondering what percentage should I set it to. I would like to set it to 80%. Do you recommend that? Would it still preserve battery or is it too high?

    Question

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 07:43 PM PDT

    When ever I turn my Macbook on, It shows me an apple logo with progress bar and takes me to the User Login section. Upon logging in, Another progress bar appears and the over all progress takes approx. 2 mins to access the account.

    How can I disable these features since Its all started to appear soon after I updated my mac os to latest version of Big Sur.

    What will seem different going from a 2017 MBP to a 2020 Air 8GB

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 10:18 PM PDT

    I just picked up a Macbook Air - it's actually my first air. It's replacing an older Macbook pro, and I'm wondering how the old one compares to the new one. I have a hard time converting specs into a sense of what things will be like. But given the stats below, how would you expect the change to seem? Noticeable faster/ slower/ the same? I'm a web developer. This is not my work machine, but I have a couple of rails projects I maintain on the side - nothing intensive memory wise. I also do some (very) light video editing in imovie for youtube. I also play some games on steam. And beyond that it's Netflix, youtube, and google docs.

    If there is a big difference, would the 16GB model close that gap or would I have to get back into an MBP?

    Second monitor for 13inch 2015 MacBook air?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 03:54 PM PDT

    I want a second monitor for work from home. I don't want it to mirror my mac, rather ask as a second scree (e.g. have a different tab open on each screen simultaneously).

    What cords do I need to buy? What types of monitors work with this? Any recommendations for either?

    Looking for a macbook air, confused!

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 09:41 PM PDT

    (Please Read)

    I am looking for a macbook. Confused! Should I go with 8gb or 16gb model? I watched many 8gb vs 16gb videos. Got to know MBA M1 has very efficient ram management. Extra 8gb upgrade costs about 300$ in my country. Still confused if 8gb can suffice my needs. I don't want to spend extra if I won't need extra ram often.

    My usage:

    2 chrome window 4 tabs each (total 7-10 tabs)

    -Figma

    -Illustrator

    -Photoshop (sometimes. Just simple edits)

    -Spotify

    -Notion

    ------OR------

    -2 chrome window 4 tabs each (total 7-10 tabs)

    -Blender, (No animations/no movie render)

    -Spotify

    -Notion

    ------OR------

    -2 chrome (same as above)

    -Premier pro (nothing crazy just 1080p videos with 4 timelines at max)

    -Spotify

    -Notion

    How commonly used is the gold macbook in college?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 07:09 PM PDT

    I didn't realize how many people hated the gold color until after I bought a gold macbook air. I'm going to be a freshman in college soon and now i'm scared i'm going to stand out in a bad way. I should've gotten a different color i regret it so much

    2019 15” last around 3-3:30 hours on light load

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 09:54 AM PDT

    As my title suggests, I've noticed my MacBook not making it past around 3 hours from a full charge while doing very basic browsing, YouTube for example last only around 3 hours 15minutes. This is half the time I usually got from the same tasks. Some info about my MacBook:

    2019 15" i9 model, battery cycle only at 162, via coconut battery states 83.4% condition and GOOD in terms of operation.

    Any ideas? I've done all the checks, if something is draining the battery, background apps, resetting SMC and etc.

    First macbook

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 07:11 PM PDT

    I'm deciding between the MBA M1 and MBP M1. I don't think I'll need more than the 256GB. I'm a highschool student who's looking for a computer for work, which is just at a gym, personal use, and my online homeschool. I don't know if I should get 8 or 16gb of ram, I'm leaning towards 8. Any advise?

    Will there be a Macbook Mini?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 05:58 AM PDT

    I was thinking with the loss of the 11 inch Macbook Air and the 12 inch Macbook retina, will Apple fill this gap with a similar sized laptop, based on Apple Silicon? A "Macbook Mini".

    The current Macbook Air is still larger and heavier than the old 12 inch Macbook. I'd love a new line to be something like:

    Macbook Mini (11 or 12 inch, sub 2lb) Macbook (similar to the current Air but in colours like the renders going around). I think the "Air" name seems a bit redundant now.. Macbook Pro

    Does anyone else find it odd that there's an iPad mini, iPhone Mini, Mac Mini, Homepod Mini, but no Macbook Mini?

    Vertical laptop sleeve recommendations?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:51 PM PDT

    Hi all, just bought a mbp for college and I'm looking for a thin, vertically oriented sleeve that will hold the mbp upright so I can leave the sleeve open and be able to slide it out when it's in my backpack. My last computer got pretty banged up in my backpack, so I'm looking for a cheap sleeve that hopefully provides a little bit more protection, water resistance, and also can work as a mat on nasty surfaces. a front pocket to put the charger, phone etc. in would be nice but not necessary.

    Does anyone have any recommendations? I've been looking all over amazon but I'm struggling, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0788KJWTB?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf&th=1 is exactly what I'm looking for, except the only color available in 13 inch right now has this hideous brownish-orange fur liner on the inside. I'll go for it if I cant find any better alternatives.

    Thanks!!

    Question concerning level of protection of protective “case”

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 12:15 PM PDT

    Hi all! I recently purchased an M1 MacBook Air, and hearing all the horror stories about how these machines are so insanely fragile, so I bought a Thule Gauntlet 3.0 to protect the computer with, but I'm now reading that it'll damage the hinges? Is this thing a case or a sleeve? I just don't want to have wasted a grand on a brick.

    MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop - Apple M1 chip - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 10:28 AM PDT

    Like the title says, I am currently looking for the MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop - Apple M1 chip - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD.

    Looking into buying from best buy at $799.99 with the student discount. I am a rising senior in high school and I currently have been using an Intel(R) Core(TM) which has been passed down from my dad's work to my sister to me and now it's time for a change because it is OLD.

    I would like to major in animal science in college and I would like this laptop to last more than 5 years because I don't plan on upgrading in the next 5 years.

    Any recommendations? Comments? Any concerns with the Mac Air m1 chip? I don't plan on looking at a pro because of the touchbar, I will not use it and Ik that.
