Lately I rarely use/charge the macbook. And it'll continue to sleep until battery goes 0% when I close the lid.
Any way to make the laptop automatically shutdown (or better, hibernate) when the battery is low?

hello seniors, im trying to do triple monitor setup, but seems failed, i understand that displaylink app is crucial, installed it, but don't seem it work, anyone that has recommended hub please do recommend,

my current is lg 4k 27 with usb c, and i wanna add another dell 24 full hd usb c as my vertical monitor

Joined the MacBook family bought a 4 year old 96% battery M1 16/256 @ 1.7k.

Was contemplating between used M1 16/256 <2k. New M1 8/256 2.35k. New M3 16/256 at about 3.5k / 4k. New M4 16/256 at 4.06k with education.

Waited and waited but M4 is so slow and the market price for all M1 and M3 didn’t move at all. Most in market used is also 8gb only with ridiculous pricing. New m2 / m3 with 16gb also more expensive than the upcoming m4.

No regrets with my M1 16/256. So snappy and good battery life.

So nice finally get to tie all my products together with MacBook Air M1.

iPhone mirror on Mac. iPhone notification on Mac
Keyboard and trackpad controlling iPad.
Can extend display to iPad
Can extend display to Apple TV.

So fun and trying to build my workflow with my first MacBook.

It’s quite challenging to decide whether to upgrade. My M1 MBA is still in good condition and functioning well. Additionally, I already have a M2 Mac Mini at home. ><

then you have your answer already, i also contemplating to upgrade my m1 since fully paid for 36m, was thinking to get either mac mini m4, or m3 air with 16g, thats the only regret i hv that my m1 dun hv 16gb, other than that it still kicks.

How was the performance of 8gb ram nowadays?

Sucks. my 16GB can't handle heavy excel files with formulas in it smoothly nowadays. Even running scripts also will feel laggy, depend on how huge my raw data.
If you use it for casual online surfing or streamings activities, 8GB would still be good though.

available again today

I’m looking for M1 MBA 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. If anyone wants to sell, please send me a PM. Want to buy ASAP.

Out of sudden, my rear port cannot detect power. Thus it wont charge. Luckily macbook Air M1 USB port were not part of the logic board and can be easily replaced.
