I’m starting a new job in September so i need to take my macbook with me daily. I would like a hardcase as i dont like taking it out of the sleeve constantly. Many people said it does damage to the hinges over the years. But wont the hinges get loose with time anyway? Does anyone use a hardcase? Did you have any issues? submitted by /u/Helpful-Box5586 [link] [comments]

bought a USED MacBook Pro Touch Bar thru ebay.. Condition is very good.. some minor scratches only. Additional purchases: MOSISO protective laptop case (mint green) MOSISO laptop sleeve (mint green) ANKER USB hub (mint green) TENMOS M18 mouse (mint green) I read that 2020 was the last intel based CPU and Apple introduced M1 apple CPU... apple also removed the Touch Bar from further MacBook Pro.. submitted by /u/GrassIntelligent7421 [link] [comments]

I just bought a new M5 Macbook Pro, but still want to keep my 2015 Macbook Pro. I just replaced it's battery with a non-OEM battery from Amazon and everything works great. Plus, it has the OCLP patcher to allow it to operate on MacOS Sequoia. What precautions do I need if I going to store it for a long time? submitted by /u/Edslittleworld [link] [comments]

Hey, a quick one. I’m somewhat undecided between a used Macbook pro M2 pro base and a new macbook air. I kinda settled on Air a few times back but i’m still questioning if i’ll make the right choice. My workflow is centered around multiple safari tabs, word processing and generally light tasks which the air can handle. However, the two are kinda currently priced almost the same(will same about $100 on M2, get a better screen, larger battery, better speakers, extra ports and this has made me question my earlier choice to a point where I can’t proceed with the purchase. Maybe I just need someone to reassure me which deal will be the better option so you lot can help me with that. Thanks submitted by /u/Excellent-Ad10 [link] [comments]

I’m trying to buy a Mac book and don’t know if I should buy: The MacBook neo brand new from Apple website Or A MacBook Air from Hoxton Macs. I’m on a budget, so not wanting to spend more than £700 maximum. I want the macbook for editing social media videos, watching Netflix and YouTube, internet browsing, probably low level statistics and stuff for my PhD (no crazy softwares needed). If I got the MacBook Air from Hoxton Macs which M number should I get?? Will some of the older ones die soon?? Literally know nothing about tech pls help. My partner also works at Apple so I get discount, but even with that the M5 Air is too expensive. I’m also thinking of getting Apple care? submitted by /u/Available_basil5702 [link] [comments]

This will be my first Mac after years of using a Windows laptop. I'm going to buy a used one and want to select between the two. Both are 16". I do mostly photo editing using Adobe LR and will explore some other programs offered for Macs. Both will have 32Gb Ram. I know that photo editing uses mostly single core but is there an edge going with the Max? Will the Max be better for my specific needs? I do not do any video editing. The difference in price is $350. Thanks! submitted by /u/EmbarrassedEye2590 [link] [comments]

I’m an Advertising Arts student and my main work would be Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, graphic design, and eventually learning 3D/Blender. I’ll also use it for schoolwork, multitasking, and general everyday use. I’m coming from an Intel i5 laptop with 16GB RAM and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, so either one would already be a big upgrade. My main concern is whether I should prioritize: -The Pro’s active cooling, better display, and sustained performance -Or the Air’s extra 8GB of unified memory (24GB vs 16GB) For anyone who has used either of these, especially for Adobe apps, motion graphics, or 3D, which would you recommend and why? Would the 24GB Air actually be the better choice for longevity and multitasking, or is the 16GB Pro a better investment because of the cooling and sustained performance? Also, if you were in my situation, which one would you personally buy? submitted by /u/Icy_Driver_3207 [link] [comments]

I saw people playing only The Sims on it, so let me give you some more info. You can play Tomb Raider and Resident Evil games on it too. They should run perfectly fine at 800p on medium settings. Only Resident Evil 4 needs low settings with MetalFX set to Balanced, but the rest of them run pretty decently. I’ve been looking for a portable gaming device, and I wish I had known that MacBooks were good options before buying a laptop with a Ryzen CPU submitted by /u/Jumpy_Invite3985 [link] [comments]

I am new to all of this tech knowledge specifically in laptops I would like to have your opinions or any suggestions. And also my purpose of purchasing this kinds of laptops is that I’m going to study how to video edit and to start video creation. submitted by /u/kikisiopai [link] [comments]

I have seen several articles that charging cycles degrade the battery capacity and longevity , so i always use the MacBook on charing (when possible). Is it safe or any of you ever noticed any issue with this. https://preview.redd.it/9ulx09cg4rjh1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb4f11aa62e48e53f76ff23d734fdaea11ad2005 submitted by /u/Appropriate-Bad-2430 [link] [comments]

Newly converted former Windows user here. Am I correct in assuming that this amount of creaking is not normal for a few months old MacBook Air M5 that has been handle with care? The demonstration is a bit exaggerated (I was worried the mic wouldn’t catch the creaking), but it really does creak with most movements... submitted by /u/The_one_with_no_name [link] [comments]

Hey! I’m currently using a 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2019 with an Intel processor. I’ve been having a lot of issues with overheating and the fans going crazy for a while now, as well as some lagging here and there due to the limited RAM. I’m now in my second year of university studying neuroscience and am thinking about upgrading soon, since it’s getting pretty frustrating even though I am managing with it. I’d mainly use the new MacBook for university, coding, video/photo editing and general everyday use. I can also imagine needing to run heavier software for uni in the future. Which model would make the most sense for me? I'm currently leaning towards a Pro but I'm not sure. And should I wait for the new models that might come out in late 2026/early 2027, or is it worth upgrading now? Would love to hear what you guys would recommend! Thanks 🙂 submitted by /u/beyondnormalcy [link] [comments]

My friend’s MacBook Air (M1 or M2) screen recently got fucked up to the point where the laptop’s screen is almost unusable. The actual computer still works, but the display is fully cooked. The timing is terrible because he also recently lost his job and can’t really afford to buy another MacBook, even used, right now. He’s actively applying for jobs, though, and sometimes has Zoom/Teams video interviews, so he genuinely needs access to a working computer. His first thought was to get a cheap Chromebook. I told him I wouldn’t do that because he’s always used MacBooks, and it seems dumb to spend $200–300 on a computer he probably won’t even want once he’s working again. I suggested getting a cheap external/portable display ($50-$80 max) and using his current MacBook until he gets back on his feet, but he really doesn’t want to deal with an external monitor. He’s bougie and has earned every right to be. The other option he’s considering is the MacBook Neo but he’s super apprehensive about it. The Neo would cost more upfront, obviously, but at least he’d stay in the Apple ecosystem and end up with something he’d presumably keep using instead of replacing the Chromebook later. So if you were in between careers and ballin on a budget but needed a reliable computer for job applications and video interviews, what would you do? -Cheaper Chromebook as a temporary computer -Cheap portable/external monitor + keep using Macbook -Spend more and get the MacBook Neo -Something else entirely Every other post in this sub is about the Neo so I knew this would be the perfect place to get some helpful opinions. I’m especially curious what you’d recommend for someone who has always used MacBooks and is probably going straight back to Mac eventually anyway. Thanks in advanced for helping my friend! submitted by /u/TruthRaiderr [link] [comments]

I am a student that has already gotten her degree in game art. I primarily use blender, sunstance painter and unreal engine if i need to. However, my next study is going in a completely different direction and i need a new laptop for it and i really do not want another windows laptop. I do still want my laptop to be able to do the things that i need to create game art, in case my new course doesnt get me anywhere. My question is, would the Neo suffice for the programmes mentioned above? Or would i have to get the air to support the heavier workload? submitted by /u/Howtoberry101 [link] [comments]
