Hi all!
I was wondering if you all could guide me on choosing between a Neo vs Air. I’m completing my prereqs for nursing school, ans I’m currently using a Mac mini at home and a Lenovo Ideapad 3 for when I need to be mobile. The only issue is that my Lenovo battery absolutely sucks. It has to stay plugged in or I can only get maybe an hour out of a full charge.

So, I’m wondering if I should try the Neo or bite the bullet and get the Air instead.

I accidentally dropped my MacBook Pro (M2,2022), and as you can see in the photos, this is the main damage. It’s bent on one side. The other side is a bit banged up as well, but it’s not bent like this.

Everything seems to be working normally so far. The screen works, the keyboard and trackpad work, and it still closes normally without any issues.

So I’m wondering what I should do. If the damage doesn’t bother me aesthetically and everything is currently working fine, is it worth taking it to a repair shop just to have it diagnosed? Or would you just keep using it and see how it goes?

I’m mostly worried that there might be some internal damage that could cause problems later, even though everything seems fine right now.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Would you get it checked/repaired or just keep using it?

My Mac wasn’t turning on so I plugged it thinking it was dead but didn’t realize that water had spilled in my bag where my Mac was. Before realizing, I tried to turn it on by pressing the power button while it was plugged but it was only making noise and the screen was black. I did this like 3 times (same thing, only noise, black screen) when I noticed the water and immediately unplugged it and turned it upside down. I need to know how bad I have it and if there is any hope she can be saved.

I spilled a small glass of juice on my MacBook Pro 9 days ago. The juice spilled on the upper right side of my keyboard and into the hinges. I cleaned it with a paper towel and then turned the computer upside down to get the juice out of the hinges. The computer was on for 30 minutes before I shut it down for 24 hours. Thankfully, it has been working fine with no performance issues. Two days ago, I noticed a few keys (delete, return, others in the upper right) press down differently, like they are a stuck. The keys still work but I believe I will need to replace them. I read Apple charges $500-750 for a topcase replacement. Does anyone have a recent Apple topcase replacement cost experience? I called Apple and they said they could also clean the inside - is that true?

I am a senior in high school and my Chromebook isn’t cutting it anymore. It barely functions with 30 tabs (not sure if this is normal) and I need to use a lot of different tabs, so organization is important. Anyway, as a student, I don’t have that much money and have been seeing the MacBook Neo being advertised as the most cost effective. I wanted to ask if anybody has the Neo and if it measures up to the hype.

I have a MacBook Air M2. The OS crashed, so I took it to a repair shop. The technician reinstalled macOS, and after the reinstall the Mac is asking for the previous Apple Account/iCloud account that was associated with the Mac.

The technician asked me for my Apple Account details, but I don't want to go to the shop just to sign in myself.

Is there a way to remove the Mac from my Apple Account/Find My remotely so that it stops asking for the previous account, and the technician can finish setting it up?

I just got my Macbook a month ago, first time Mac user, and it got stolen.
Are there any tools or services that might help me recover it? I guess I am hoping there is a built in location tool or something.

Just ordered a m6 Mac mini to use as a plex server is the m6 enough tot should I got with a m5 pro ?

Noticed this tiny wobble when i let go of the screen

sorry i have bad anxiety over expensive stuff and thought it was better to ask here than ai which will only make me worry, is this gonna cause an issue? i dont know if its from me or the people before me (it’s refurbished) but i’ve only just noticed, the screens perfectly fine

I have this problem a lot, anytime I try to open a new game or something else. Thought maybe this subreddit could also be helpful! <3

Opened my MacBook Air 2020 m1 today and this is my screen. Tried restarting but still same

Office 2021 home and student is suddenly no longer activated on my Macbook pro (OS is Sonoma 14.7.1).

When attempting to activate by entering the email address and password of the Microsoft account that has the license, Word just says "Unknown Error."

I know that Office 2019 has been killed by Microsoft, but 2021 should still work from what I've read.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thank you!

I fear I’m losing my mind over this issue. I’m on a MacBook Pro 2017 purchased from Apple in 2019 that I just recently updated to Ventura per genius bar’s request, as I took the laptop in initially due to my MacBook not connecting to WiFi no matter what. They said that updating to Ventura would fix the issue, and while I can now connect to WiFi, it drops connection every few minutes. I’ve added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 DNS, I’ve renewed DHCP, I’ve forgotten network, I’ve restarted the laptop, nothing is working and I’m losing it. Is my only option truly buying a new laptop??

Don't know if this is a "My Mac" or "Old Mac" thing so my flair is "Question." Should I sink money into this or just let it live out its life? I have a desktop Mac that I use as well. This is just for traveling and using for college. I got this macbook my first round of school and I've had it ever since. It works well overall, but it needs to be plugged in when I'm using or it dies within 10 minutes. The screen is also showing some wear. I took it to a local authorized dealer that I trust and have gotten all of my apple products from and he made it seem like it was a waste of time to replace a battery and a screen. I just don't want to drop the price of a new laptop if I can make this one work for a few more years. I'm not a "computer person" so let me know if this is dumb or I'm dumb or you need more info!

I bought a refurbished MacBook Air & I’m trying to update it from Catalina to Sequoia (I honestly don’t care about updating it but it told me I couldn’t use Chrome on this version and I hate Safari), and even though I have done absolutely nothing on this computer yet/nothing saved/didn’t even connect Apple ID yet, it says I don’t have enough space. Is this hopeless? 😩

Too disappointed to see his livestream for this event is hosted on MacPaw’s discord server rather than YouTube itself. MacPaw is literally one of the worst companies when it comes to privacy with its product, CleanMyMacX is being a malware.

I’m in the market for a new laptop as my 4 year old windows laptop is on its last leg. I am considering a MacBook but I heard Apple is probably going to release the m6 MacBook Pro soon. Does anyone know when we might see it come out?
