Guys, any problems encountered when using M1 MBA so far?

I’ve been reading on macrumours & reddit forums and some users reported to have few problems such as wifi/bluetooth stability, artifact on the screen and sudden laggyness & shutoff.

I may have to hold this purchase and wait for 2nd iteration.

Thanks for the reply, just want to know a bit more things, so if buy from apple online they will 1 on 1 replace your unit during the 1 year warranty or only for the first 7 days or something like that?

It'll be 14 days - based on Item 15 of their Sales Policies, Dead On Arrival (DOA) Product: System Failure Out of the Box Link

This also not bad Was short listing it also but ended up with 10-in-1 for RJ-45 socket

Sibeh kiasu mentality...

hahahaha.

i wanna opt to try out a smaller and light portable 1. may opt for another 1 which will be more thunderbolt port for home based usage which plug with monitor and keyboard mouse.

Thanks guys, I think I’ll get that 3slot+SD card hub then.
How about external SSD, any advise?
I’m in a middle of choosing Samsung T7 touch(found it on taobao with less than RM600 include shipping) or Sandisk Extreme V2(shopee selling RM500 include shipping). Anyone here bought external ssd from taobao?

Personally I prefer to buy computer parts locally. Price difference isn't worth the potential warranty hassles later IMO

I didnt buy extra storage as I've already gotten my very old ext. HDD for data transfers, if needed.

So far use for normal working and web browsing. No much issue. No regret

I bought u green USB A to C and USB c to HDMI all working

using a nvme exclosure with a OEM toshiba 512gb nvme ssd cost around rm2xx only.

I also see online many people complaining about wifi issues, anyone having wifi problem?

nope

As smooth as silk

hi any sifu here got tips that help to set up using dual external monitor? thank you

Not possible with the current MBA and MBP M1. Only Mac Mini M1 can support more than one external monitor.

I am using this hub with external M.2 SSD slot built in. Just make sure that it is a SATA M.2 SSD. I paired it with a 1TB WD Blue SATA M.2 SSD.

Slightly bigger than a normal hub but it is just as light and only need to carry and use one device. Also lesser ports but the essentials one for me are all there.

u can do that with selected few usb3.0 monitor adapter.

Not as easy plug a play though, have to do some research for which if it works.

External display

What kind of situation you are in where you need a separate ON button which is an additional step?

if you really want, you can google it but all methods require the usage of terminal.

if you aren't already familiar with cmd on windows, you'd better skip it & get used to the apple ecosystem

ssd hub usb-c

I think both same same ports, just the Harbigis have SD slots and support 10gbps nvme.
