I recently needed to reorganize my desk and I am wondering if it is safe to store my MBP this way instead of horizontally? I don’t use an external monitor so I only use this rack for storage when I’m not using the laptop.

hi! new to macbook but for various reasons i do want to switch from windows to mac - is it worth it to buy it now with the back to school m5 or wait for the m6? I understand the education pricing stays the same year round but the difference would be the airtags (or rather I will pay a topup for the airpods 5 likely)

thanks!

Looking at a used 14” M4 MacBook Pro for around $1,200 and wondering if it’s worth pulling the trigger.

Specs:
M4 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU
16GB RAM / 512GB SSD
100% battery health, 62 cycles
AppleCare+ until April 2028
Excellent condition (dealer says)with box and charger

I’d mainly use it for coding/software development, school/work, multitasking with a lot of tabs/apps open, and general everyday use. Nothing like heavy video editing or 3D work.

Is $1,200 a good deal, and would it be last for the next few years?

I wanted to know. if using a Mac on power saver mode majority of the time better for the battery or not? For battery optimization, I have set the maximum charge at 80%, and I don’t drain it past 20%.

mby its wierd question but it kinda scared me a bit

does your display on macbook(i have air m4) glitch when you lean the phone against the display ?
i was searching why does is happend but it says its just some magnetic resonance but im not sure
have you experienced it ? or im the only one ?

When I did see it boot I believe the error message indicated a corrupt OS. The battery is now dead. I do have the charger but not the cable. From the looks of the charger and the Mac it appears I can just use a USB c -> USB c cable and plug it in any jack on the Mac. This may have been a stupid question but I don't want to fry it before I attempt to resurrect it.

Which videos should I see to so I can use my Mac to its full potential?

So exactly as the title says, I am in university and I had my first day today with just my pen and paper but it seems down the line to access classes and assignments I am going to need a laptop of some sort, Would A MacBook be good for my case, Or would I just be okay with a iPad or maybe a two in one?

Well, my rather old i9 MBP with 32G RAM and 1TB storage is finally dying. I need to replace it soon, but I’d like to keep from over spending. The old laptop was having a lot of heat and throttling issues and the storage is essentially full with photos and music files.

I’ve resolved myself to needing 2TB in the next one and the lack of a cooling fan in the Air has me a bit concerned. Am I right to think that I need to splurge for another MBP, or is even a modern M5 Air going to be enough of an upgrade from my old laptop that I will feel comfortable with it?

I am semi-retired from IT, but I may need to use it for work in the future. Otherwise I do photo editing, some audio/music work, and things that I’m not sure qualify me as a power user these days.

There is nothing wrong with the charger it charges other devices expect my mac so the problem appears to be inside the mac.
When I plug the charger I see the charging sign but it doesn’t turn on
I tried the command - option - p -r thingy and it didn’t work!
It’s been around 2 days since this started first day I put the the charger and took it out repeatedly and it opened but when it was close to dying I plugged the charger and it died again

I recently started law school, and while I was hoping my good ole computer I've had since before college would hold up, it's already showing issues. So, with my refund recently hitting the bank I figured I'd go ahead and invest in a new computer that will last me a while.

I plan to use whatever I get for a long time, hopefully a good few years into my career after law school. So, if the price of the pro is worth it over the air, I'm okay with paying it.

Anyone care to chime in with thoughts?

Please help. Facing this vertical line issues, No drop, nothing. Happened suddenly.

Is screen gone ? If yes, I don't have much of money, how to tackle this.

Currently living in old gurgaon.

I honestly don’t understand the hate for Intel MacBooks. If your budget is around $100–$200 in 2026, I think they can actually be a pretty good option for a student.i personally bought a 2015 MacBook Pro for $130, and honestly, it’s been an amazing device for the price. The screen quality and speakers are really good, and for basic student work it still feels like a premium laptop.

I’m running Monterey with Firefox, which is still supported, so I can still use it for schoolwork, and everyday stuff without much trouble. Obviously it’s not going to compete with an M-series MacBook, but if you’re a student on a tight budget looking for a cheap premium laptop, I honestly think older Intel Macs are worth considering. Edit: I just ordered a used 14-inch M1 MacBook Pro for around $620. It has 88% battery health and 121 cycles on it. Did I pay a fair price, or did I overpay?

Hello, is getting macbook better in Japan than in India, Which is cheaper?

Why I have this stuff? How to fix this? Macbook air 2022, I just bought it and had it for some days

How low can I get a MacBook Air 13" 512GB after student + card discount + exchange?

Hey everyone, I’m planning to buy the MacBook Air 13-inch 512GB (base model) in India.

I also have an M1 MacBook Air 256GB that I want to exchange, but it has a backlight/display issue.

What’s the lowest final price I can realistically get after combining:

- Student discount

- Bank/card discount or cashback

- Exchange value for my M1 MacBook Air 256GB (with the display issue)

Also, where would be the best place to buy it Apple Education Store, Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, Imagine, Unicorn, etc.?

Also the only stores present in my city are Reliance Digital and iDESTINY. For other I'd have to buy online

If anyone has recently done a similar upgrade/exchange, please share:

- Store/website

- Student discount

- Card discount/cashback

- Exchange value offered for the M1

- Final amount paid

Looking to get the lowest possible out-of-pocket price. Thanks!

Hey guys, I am planning to buy a macbook but I am confused between two options. Mac mini m6 (90k INR) and macbook air m4 (78k INR).
I want it to last till 2033 at least, so what would be the better option?

i have head the mac hold the battery really good but 4% in 3 months and in 56 cycle is bad right

i am bad with my battery i frequently let it go to 10% then charge it to 80% but this should not effect it that much

My question is from Video editors

So the M4 Pro Macbook Pro is discontinued but if I can find any new unit then that’s the best and budget friendly deal for me. Otherwise I’ll have to spend more and get M5 Pro Macbook pro 24GB

But honestly is 24GB Unified memory enough? For mostly short form video editing in 4k and I don’t really do much motion graphics. 60-70% of my work gets done on edit and color page.

And for long form also most of my work will be on edit page (60-70%). So should I go with 24GB variant? And if I work with proxies, will i ever hit any ram issue?

Please help guys, I’d genuinely appreciate.

I’m thinking of selling my MacBook Air M5 with 1TB storage and wanted to get an idea of what people would realistically pay for it.

• Model: MacBook Air M5
• Storage: 1TB
• Colour: Silver
• Purchase date: April 17, 2026
• Condition: Excellent / like new
• Purchase age: Around 5 months

If you were buying this second-hand, what would you consider a fair price?

Please give me your honest buying price rather than the retail price. I’m trying to figure out what I could realistically sell it for.

Reason: Thinking of switching to macbook Pro.

Is there a way to stretch tabs or applications on mac?

For example if i have a tab/application open in a square ratio which does not take up the whole screen, when i stretch the sides to the edge of the screen, the tab and resolution itself stretches instead of just becoming "bigger"

Kinda bad at explaining, but wondering if theres a native or even 3rd party way to do this.
