QUOTE(hellfried @ Dec 16 2021, 06:00 AM) Wow the quality control of Apple seems to be slipping. This has never happened before in the last 15 years I have used Apple products. Hope they back on track... ease of use is main attraction for apple.. hope windows take example on this |

Coz i think the silver doesn’t have such issue…the anodized space grey and gold on the MacBook tend to have rather obvious discoloration issue..This post has been edited by dikae: Dec 26 2021, 02:29 PM |

QUOTE(sp6068 @ Nov 27 2021, 06:15 PM) I don't think Microsoft release the M1 compatibility for Office yet. I believe it's using Rosetta which is why you're not getting the most outta it. I check in activity monitor, my microsoft office is "Apple" version, no Intel. I think you need to check for updates for your MS office.  |

Are you clumsy? If no, Then its best not to get one. Its not like a phone where you can apply SP on it. Chances are you're gonna damage the actual screen than protecting it. |
