Hi guys, looking to buy a laptop for university. Something that can last 5 years and suitable for med school so obv nothing heavy duty like blender or coding. My only concern is the 8gb RAM compared to the 16 of the asus, many tech reviews I have watched did not recommend the neo solely because of the bottleneck due to the low RAM. submitted by /u/Ineedhelp08374 [link] [comments]

I bought my first macbook ever. It is MacBook Air m5. My experience has been good so far. I have one concern tho till now. I use pdf of multiple books. I use native app to review and highlight my books. I have noticed that my MacBook really lags at times and hallucinate for few minutes. ( for reference I just highlight or underline text nothing fancy) My concern is this normal? Everyone over internet is going gaga about this new M5 chip. I don’t have any prior experience to compare it with. Any suggestions would be appreciated. submitted by /u/thoughtbroadcast101 [link] [comments]

I was facing this issue last week, but it resolved on its own and worked fine for 4-5 days. Since yesterday evening, I have started facing it again. Took my Mac to the Apple Authorised Service Centre in Bengaluru, India, and they said they would need to open the laptop and diagnose the issue. The price they quoted me for the diagnosis is ₹3,500 (35 USD). Before I drop this laptop for the diagnosis I just wanted to get opinions from this community. I got this laptop last year in February. Battery health is 91%. No water or spillage was there. submitted by /u/heyaishwary [link] [comments]

This is not the typical “Which one should I buy?” For those who may have experienced the Air and the Neo, which one would you choose based on portability and form factor? I’m not referring to the differences in their tech specs (I’m very aware of the computing differences). I’m simply wondering for those who have potentially used either one for some days, which one felt better carrying around and traveling with? Please don’t yell at me to go to the store and play with them. Lol I’ve done that. I’m just interested in those who may have traveled and carried them around as their daily driver. I’ve only ever owned a 16” Pro (silicon version), and I’m getting an additional MacBook (for casual and portable use). I’m not worried about a budget or specs…and I don’t want an iPad with a keyboard, hence my overall question. Thanks! submitted by /u/marketing_professor [link] [comments]

I currently have a 8GB RAM/256SSD M2 MacBook Air. I’ll be graduating design university next year. I’m currently on an exchange program and Apple products are cheaper for me here, so I was considering getting a machine that had 24 RAM and maybe 1TB SSD. However I’m really torn between M5 Air and Pro. Air I’m already used to the size and weight and is great, but with the upgrades I’m considering the difference in price gets smaller. Pro has a great screen, which is the biggest attractive for me, and the upgrades are pretty much already included apart from RAM. Both would sure be good since the configuration is what I’m aiming for, I’m just torn since I would already make an expensive purchase if going all for Pro would be better or just overkill. submitted by /u/toniwx [link] [comments]

Hi, I'm currently using a MacBook M2 and I have no trouble using it. However, my company says they will cover 50% of the cost if I buy a laptop and keep it for me. So, I'm thinking of buying the new MacBook Pro M5. What do you think? I plan to get the 16GB RAM and keep everything else standard. I mainly use it for document work like Keynote and Excel, and occasionally I use Illustrator or After Effects. I'm hesitant because I heard the new M6 model coming out next year has a lot of changes. But I also wonder if a first-generation model that has changed so much isn't really that great, and waiting until next year feels like too much time to spare. What do you think I should do? submitted by /u/SorryDemand4816 [link] [comments]

I cannot decide between the two. I usually have 3-5 docker containers (web apps) running at once (+chome, spotify etc), and on my current windows machine, I average around 28 / 32 gb of ram. I will buy the 32 version, but idk which one, the pro being 1k more expensive. Will an air suffice my use case? submitted by /u/Hot-Charge198 [link] [comments]

So i got a Macbook Neo today for portable office tasks thinking that its gonna be the most problemfree solution, turns out that it potentially got a problem with the routers(cgA4336) band steering, there also doesnt seem to be a hardware issue as it can connect to my phones hotspot just fine and i used that to update to tahoe 26.5.1 which didnt change anything. Unfortunately splitting the band steering into two separate networks isnt an option due to the ISP locking pretty much everything down so i cant further troubleshoot from there, which leaves the question as to what options i have on the macs end. submitted by /u/woll3 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I'm 18 years old and I'm looking for a basic school laptop preferably with touchscreen. I don't know a lot about laptops myself so I thought you could help me? I already have iPhone and iPad and it would be nice to transfer stuff immeadiatly to my laptop... Feel free to ask more questions. LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE Country Belgium/ Europe Budget 500 euro or 576 usd Are you open to refurbs/used options? Yes, required Screen size Any size, preferably a laptop that I could easily find a shoulder/ college bag for. Probably smaller than 15". Weight limit Any, but if I want to take it with me than a light laptop would be better. Purpose Mostly for school (I study Modern languages now and don't know what I'll do in college yet). Form factor Preferably 2-in-1, so touchscreen. Intended usage I don't game and I don't think I'll have to download big installations. I would use it for school and general use like entertainment. Desired battery life Around 8 hours. Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life Budget> refurbished > form factor > battery life > size, weight and purpose. Info/Requirements I connect the laptop i have right now to my screen with a HDMI cable, so I would love it if it has that already. I want AZERTY keyboard. I already have an iPhone and iPad so would it be good to get a macbook? submitted by /u/Naive_Ad_5969 [link] [comments]

Hello. Let's see if I can explain myself clearly, as I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to ask. I'm thinking of getting a MacBook to use outside the house because I'm tired of using my iPad and having to finish certain things on my MacBook at home. The iPad is convenient, yes, but you can't do everything on it. My question is: I want to set up a personal hotspot for about 4 hours an hour on average. Does using a personal hotspot consume a lot of data? In other words, do I need a high-speed data plan? I ask because I've read that it uses around 4GB per hour, but I don't know if that's true because I'm completely unfamiliar with this. I've used an iPad until now, and I'm afraid the data usage isn't the same. Thanks, and best regards. submitted by /u/bikotzabi [link] [comments]

Here's my latest little project. I recently went back to taking some classes, and I didn't want to lug my massive workstation around just to take notes. It's a beast (96GB of RAM, 3kg) but total overkill for that. So I dug out an old 2015 MacBook Pro and gave it a second life with Linux (Mint), the same way my iMac now runs its own version. These machines are gorgeous and so thin, and they were headed straight for the scrap heap. Here's how to do it: - Grab a USB stick - Download Rufus - Download the ISO for the Linux distro you want to install - Create a bootable USB stick with Rufus - Plug in the stick, then power on the machine while holding the Alt key - Select the boot option on the EFI disk - Enjoy If you're thinking of refurbishing an old MacBook, here are a few issues I ran into: Wi-Fi card driver not supported => Fixed by switching to kernel 6.14 Automatic sleep mode => Fixed by disabling sleep-on-lid-close, since it was poorly implemented Fans stuck at minimum speed => Fixed by installing mbpfan Now I've got a light, silent, good-looking machine that does exactly what I need, for free. If you've got an old MacBook gathering dust, give it a shot. Happy to answer questions if anyone runs into the same issues. submitted by /u/ChanceGrapefruit4107 [link] [comments]

I have an old 2013 MacBook Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.7.11. It has a 2.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 8 GB of RAM. I'm wondering how usable it still is for coding in 2026. I know I won't be able to use some newer software (like recent versions of Xcode), but can it still run a reasonably current version of VS Code? Are there any major limitations I should be aware of? I'm also curious about everyday tasks such as watching YouTube, browsing Reddit, and general web browsing. Does it still handle those well, or does it feel noticeably slow? The reason I'm asking is that I switched from this MacBook to a Windows desktop around 2015, and the MacBook has been sitting in my basement ever since. I now need something portable for work on the go, and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth dusting off the old MacBook or if I'd be better off buying a newer laptop. What would you do in my situation? submitted by /u/Midaxas [link] [comments]

I've use a normal cheap bluetooth mouse for a long time and finally it's time to say bye bye.. So I just bought a new wired mouse to use with my M2 Macbook pro, connected through my Dell monitor uxxxqe model which makes me no need more dock, and actually been using my monitor as a hub for my keyboard, previous wired mouse with no problems! Here come to the issues at the first try: The cursor of the mouse is VERY LAGS, frequency is about 3-5secs even with just cursor movement or drag something. been searched some and found out that maybe because of the USB 3.0 port ? but all my monitor ports is USB A 3.0 ? and previous wired mouse had been okay.. any idea or solution please kindly help!
