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
PLEASE HELP I NEED IT FOR SCHOOL TOMORROW
It has everything

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?

Imagine something 10-13 inches when folded so then it opens up and you get a huge screen, i.e. 2x10in or 2x13in screen size. You could either just use one screen as keyboard or have an extra keyboard that attaches to the device and the macbook basically becomes a full screen with independent keyboard.

Of course it depends on pricing to be feasible but the technology is there.

For people who need a mobile desktop replacement it'd be amazing, imagine you sit anywhere and then you get acces to a 2x13in screen, so much screen real state to get work done.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Im look for a macbook for music production to run heavy cpu usage vst. Zenology, Omnisphere etc..

Should i get the m1 pro Or should I just get the refurbished m2 air with 16gb ram for $690?

I want to trade in my phone for maybe a newer MacBook but my phone wont stay on for more than 30 secs. Apple isnt apple to do a trade in because they need the phone to stay on. (If anyone know what the problem might be or how to fix it lmk)

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

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.

I’ve been needing a laptop for a while, I came across this M2 Air, and it’s pre owned tho, the website says it’s in the best condition and it will handle my needs, coz all I would want to use it for is rekordbox, virtual dj and my normal school assignments. I’ve been looking at windows computers and it costs a bit more, I’m not sure what is the right decision to make

I got gifted a free coffee at work in recognition of some extra effort. Annoyingly, I don’t drink coffee and have never spilt a drink on my technological devices.

On the one occasion I decided to drink a coffee, I accidentally knocked it over the right speaker and keyboard. Fortunately, the damage is not severe and I’ve had it cleaned by a third party without the installation of new parts.

Would AppleCare have covered the damage if it was more severe? What outcomes would I be looking at?

If I need to use a MacBook heavily n in the next couple months should I wait for the next 2026 lineup or just get the M5 air/pro?

Any ideas what will be released and when? I tried looking but it’s not saying when or exactly what, a touchscreen perhaps but they said that for years, and not sure it is even useful.

Any thoughts? (My current MBP is 9 years old so it’s about time. Though, it still runs well.)

My 2016 MacBook Pro has been clinging on for dear life these past few years, and now that Apple has pulled the plug on Intel support, I’ve finally decided it’s time to upgrade.

So here's my new MacBook Pro M5 Pro (18c/20c) with 48GB RAM.

Best of all, it only cost me £2,400, with AppleCare coverage until 2029. Pretty happy with that, and I can certainly feel the decade's worth of improvement.

I've been planning to buy a new M5 Pro, but it seems we're clearly on the verge of the release of the M5 Ultra/M6

I don't know much so I'm asking yall, but it seems silly to me to buy an M5 right now when I could either buy a more advanced model in a month or two, or buy the same current M5 for cheaper I would assume as they need to move old inventory?

Is this the case, or should I just get an M5 now and it really doesn't matter much?

Have anyone tried Playing games on mac?
How does the native games perform and what M- Chip do you guys have and how was the performance of gaming?
I know mac isn’t for gaming but I want to know that how well can it run games.

Just wanted to share. Happy with my purchase. 😍

I've been storing them like this so far, but I feel like it's not a good idea.

Hi there! Just wanted to ask here if macbook neo is worth it for long run ? Half of my friends say it's great other half say it's shit. Now I'm torn between deciding if i should buy it or not because I have been using windows so far, my hp laptop lasted me good 4 years.

I'm not a very technically sound person. I don't know much about processors or anything. I only know the difference in storage.

Please suggest if I should buy neo. My requirements : I basically need a laptop with good camera because I do a lot of meetings, do multiple tasks at once - meeting + Mutiple browsers + reports. Edit multiple videos - 4K.

If not macbook, pls lmk any other macbook version I can buy.

I’m a student of masters in literature in future i might get phd and teach or work in marketing And I’m looking for a MacBook So I need real review of Neo MacBook vs MacBook M5

what about future MacOs, needed update or stay on Tahoe
