70c is quite high???
What task are you running?
Mostly watching Netflix and web browsing with multiple open tabs?

Netflix, Microsoft 365, Zoom and Teams (a few hours), many tabs, Apple Music on = all good and no issues at all, no heat too, no lag.

Anyone using Apple Music recently had buzzing sounds when playing tracks? It happens when Apple launched LOSSLESS.

maybe your speaker broken? No issue here for me.

Just bought mine last month. and it happens when I use earphones too, so it's definitely a software problem.

I get my unit about the same time as you.
No buzzing sounds, only that I not so happy will be the AirPods Pro connections.
The switch between iPhone and M1MBA still not smooth.

Strangely it only happens in Apple Music apps, and only after 11.4 update and after they rolled out LOSSLESS.

I'm using M1MBA to play Apple Music, in LOSSLESS too. No buzzing sound for now. How's the buzzing sounds heard like?

Sometimes it's like a beeping sound. especially when the playlist has lossless & non-lossless tracks. the beeping sound will sometimes happens when switching between different types of tracks.

I didn't experience that noise this far

Hi Guys. I am considering purchasing a Macbook (yet to decide on the model though)

Question: I saw this store in Insta selling Macbook 2020 with M1 chip for about RM1200.00. The seller claims this item is new and the warranty is under Apple. His site also sells other brands at super cheap prices and he has about 12k ++ followers.

I know it is always safe to buy directly from Apple store, Machines, etc.

Just wanted some feedback on the insta statement above. Perhaps someone has information on it. Thanks!!

Facebook Market is full of scammers, not surprised if IG market have the same patterns. Better get it from reliable source!

thanks guys, definitely will wait for it. just in case if the new one is launched by then. because the moment i buy this, i'm gonna use it for the next 6-7 years already, so just wanna be sure to get the latest possible.

For me, I think I would most likely get the 512gb ones, because i don't normally use external storage (unless I have to), plus i don't have too much of photo and video editing to do, so if possible, might just keep them in the mac. don't wanna bring additional stuff around if I could.
Yes, for me, i don't think I will need 16gb of ram too because most of the youtuber also says 8gb is very sufficient for ordinary user like me, which I can still do editing with ease at 8gb. I mean for me, i would probably be spending the 1k to double the storage and for that extra GPU, imagine if I amortise the 1k into 6 years,  each year is only RM167. I don't see a reason why I should not.

as for the other accessories, will need to see what I need before I buy though.
*
I choose 256GB, save the money for icloud. So no need to go higher storage tbh. If you already subscribe iCloud for your iPhone, then you can utilise it in your MBA.

just like me, i also diao ppl in other forum, for not doing enough reading on their own before posting it. But it bounce to happen, in any sub-forum, so when people are asking that kind of question again and again, i just choose to press the ignore button rather than getting so worked up.

Hi all. I'm thinking of buying the MBA. Doing some research - what's a good recommended hub since the MBA only has 2 ports? Already need 2 USB ports for house and external keyboard usually. Also I've been reading a bit on the PD thing (but don't totally understand fully) that could brick the device, is that something I should worry about?

I’m wondering what you want to transfer? Photo?
