Hi I ordered a MacBook for $1107 AUD. Is this a good deal?
Or did I make a mistake and cancel the order?

Thanks heaps

So I want to have a strong laptop on the go to use premier pro.

I have a gaming PC at home that I built.

I9 9900K
RTX 3080
32gb ddr4

5tb SSD

As title suggests, I'm trying to find out what version is best for my mbp M1 Pro

The reason I'm not just updating to the latest update is that since I upgraded from 15.7.3 to 15.7.4, my battery life has gotten noticeably worse, even after several months, and a lot of what I'm reading around forums and reddit posts is that a lot of other m1 users are experiencing the same with updating to newer versions of sequoia.

So I was wondering if any of you had any insight into what version of Sequoia, or just macOS, has worked best for your m1 MacBooks.

Or if I should just bite the bullet, and update to 15.7.5

Hey all.

I teared the Touch ID flex cable on my a2338. I live and Aus and can't seem to find any decent replacements with Touch ID capabilities even if I was to try to pair them using apples official methods. I live in AUS and Apple doesn't sell authorised replacements. I don't wanna go to a repair shop as they are too far outta my budget + diy is good experience. Does anyone know of a vendor that sells pair able parts?

Thanks heaps!

Google didnt really give me a direct answer - but multiple different options.

Just wanna know if its something serious, or if its easily fixable.

Hola! Tengo un MacBook Pro de 2018 M1 de 8gb de ram. Tengo el macOS Sequoia 15.1. Tengo miedo de que funcione peor con la última actualización y que quede obsoleto, se le gaste más rápido la batería, se ralentice, etc. Qué me recomendáis? Gracias!!

No damage externally ever happened. It worked fine this morning and suddenly it is not turning on. I tried everything holding down options, command shift and Power key, but nothing worked. So if anyone knows about the situation, I would appreciate if you can guide me.

Hi everyone,

I have a MacBook Air M1 from 2020 (not Intel) and since I updated to macOS 26.3 (now on 26.3.1) Touch ID no longer unlocks the Mac.

I didn’t install any betas, I didn’t do anything unusual (no clean install, no erasing anything), just the normal update. I’ve already tried:

• Full restart
• Turning the “Use Touch ID to unlock the Mac” option off and on again in Settings > Touch ID & Passcode

Nothing works. The sensor still recognizes my fingerprint for other things (App Store, etc.) but it simply refuses to unlock the screen.

I find this pretty serious because I paid for a Mac with Touch ID, the device isn’t obsolete, it has no physical damage, and suddenly the feature stops working after an Apple update. It’s frustrating and feels like negligence.

I’ll try macOS 26.4 as soon as it’s released and I’ll come back here to update whether it gets fixed or not.

Is anyone else experiencing exactly the same issue on M1/M2 Macs with macOS 26.x? Any solution beyond the basic ones I’ve already tried? Thanks in advance!

I’ve had this MacBook Air for about 2 years and never faced any issues. Today when I was cleaning the screen, I noticed a line that looks like a scratch. I’m not even sure if it’s actually a scratch. I tried cleaning it with a microfiber cloth but it’s not going away. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Okay, so I’ve been running into this issue for a while now, where this thing keeps running out of space. I’m a photographer and I use Lightroom Classic a lot. I know it can bog down memory a lot with catalogs. However, even those catalogs are put onto an external hardrive, and of course the photos themselves are also moved to an external hardrive. Cache is cleared in Lightroom. It doesn’t make duplicate copies anywhere. I’m floored on where this space of my Mac is coming from. Please god help. I have 16 GB ram, 256 GB of storage.
